Why use SE right at the beginning?
Two reasons: 1) It's a translation of "My name is 'ceqli', which is {mi se cmene zo....|, not {mi me la....|
2) In the original, the text in #2 and #4 are equivalent. Parallelism is a useful feature in learning.
Also, I recommend using the ti-series in place of the ko'a-series.
Using the latter while pointing can cause so much confusion...
In 12 we may do
12. lo prenu cu zvati tu
What? You do realize that in 12, ko'i (or lo prenu) and tu are referring to different things? In this case, I'm using tu in place of {lo vu diklo}.
Other suggestions:
17. doi .sam. ta mo / sedyta'u (no regard for the original)
18. ti sedyta'u .i mi jgari lo sedyta'u lo xance .i mi xance jgari lo sedyta'u
Yeah, I'm sticking with the translation that does have regard for the original, but thanks.
(By the way, any particular reason for using {sedyta'u} instead of {mapku}?)
Yes. sedyta'u is what vlasisku told me. My vocab isn't as good as it could be.
