[lojban-beginners] Re: In London in Britain - the shortest way to say that ?

[ianek <janek37@gmail.com>]

First, {lo ti stuzi} is a place associated with the near thing I'm
pointing. I think {lo vi stuzi} would be better.
You can attach tags to {pe} or {ne} (dependent on whether you want to
clarify which London you're talking about): {la landyn ne ne'i la
britain} (another strange thing, do you really pronounce it
"britain"?)
But I don't think {ne'i} is the best here. For me it's good for things
that have well-defined inside and outside, like a box or a building.
Maybe I'm wrong.
I think that {bu'u} would be better.
