Re: [lojban-beginners] A question about the sentences understanding in Lojban



{du} is essentially never what you want. {ti zdani mi}, very simple.

mi'e la latro'a mu'o

When I see a sentence like "mi zdani", why shold I understand it as "this house is mine" instead of "i'm a house"? I mean, I know  it doesn't make sense, but I understood this language should be understood even by computers, and this means that it does not require thinking or knoledge (like the knowledge that that meaning doesn't make sense) for understaning sentences.

I'm looking forwards to your answer!

How did you come to the conclusion that "mi zdani" means "this house is mine"? 

x1 is a nest/house/lair/den/[home] of/for x2

"mi" is in the x1 place, and the x2 place is empty, so "I am a home". 

Now I wonder how to say "this home is mine". "ti du lo mi zdani" is 'this is my home'. Would it start with "lo vi zdani ..."?
