Re: [lojban-beginners] Possessives

  Which does bring in an interesting philosophic question (which maybe Annie was alluding to): If you used vo'a in that sentence, what would it refer to? la djan? le bruna be la lizbet (which is what I assume you meant to write, not "brata") or both? ("fa la djan. klama le ckule fa le bruna pe la lizbet. lo zdani be vo'a")  But that's outside the scope of a beginner's list.

You say "fa" twice:
fa la .djan. klama le ckule fa le brata pe la .lizbet.
This gives you no clue whether John is Lizbeth's brother or what. It's like
sticking two feet in one shoe, and is very rarely done.
