Re: [lojban-beginners] ti

Pointable. I can accept {ta zgike} for some distant thing or {ti nu gletu} if you happen to be doing / viewing such a thing at the moment. Outside of the present you can't point at it or immediately demonstrate it, so past or future events are not demonstratable by such words. I can easily see an exchange of two people in an apartment being interrupted by loud noises coming from a roommate's bedroom going like this:

sei unf unf oooooohhh yeah baby
ko'a: .yyyy ta mo
ko'e: .i ta nu le zdakansa ku gletu kei .oi

For past events {lo pu zgike} or {lo purci ku nu gletu} would be more appropriate.
