Re: [lojban-beginners] {me ko'a} instead of {broda} ?

You want the term ko'e to refer to the two restaurants collectively, you want {ko'e goi re gusta}, or {ko'e goi re le gusta} if you want to explicit about specificity.

If you want to refer to them individually, I don't think that's possible with only one term.

What you have means the pretty much same thing as what I wrote, although your ko'e assignment is different and your bridi is obviously much more complicated:
ko'a ponse lo re me ko'e goi lo gusta
ko'a owns two of something that is amongst (ko'e = one or more things that actually is a restaraunt).
Ko'a owns two things that are ko'e, where ko'e is "one or more restaraunts"

ko'a ponse ko'e goi re gusta
ko'a owns (ko'e = two restaraunts).
ko'a owns ko'e, where ko'e is "two restaraunts"

No ! What you suggest is that {ko'e} is two restaurants. But I need {ko'e} to be each of the restaurants !

I would go with {ko'a ponse ko'e goi re gusta}. It seems to me you're overthinking it a tad.

I wonder how to express the phrase "he is the owner of two cafes" using {ko'a} ("he") and {ko'e} (each of the cafes)

{ko'a ponse lo re me ko'e goi lo gusta} ?

{broda} series won't work if in the following text each of the cafes is described.
