Re: [lojban-beginners] Re: mi cu xebni lenu lumci le palta .i

lo is the default. It means "one or more things which actually are something that can fill the x1 of broda".

le is when wanting to be specific. It means "one or more things I have in mind which I describe as something that can fill the x1 of broda".

le is less restrictive than lo. A thing can not be lo broda unless it actually is an instance of broda, however, anything can be le broda, as it is not stating that something is broda, but merely being described as such.

Thanks everyone. My use of .i was a little confused. I understand that it separates sentences, but I wasn't sure where to put it. Also can someone refresh my memory when it comes to the use of le and lo?

I just made an attempt to translate "I hate washing the dishes" into Lojban and come up with this: {mi cu xebni lenu lumci le palta .i}.

I'd greatly appreciate it, if anyone could show me any corrections I may need to make.

Thanks!
