Re: [lojban-beginners] Mixing tenses

[Ian Johnson <blindbravado@gmail.com>]

While this parses, it's...philosophically subtle at best. I think of {mi} and {do} as being temporally nonlocal, which means you can't restrict their referent by specifying a time, since they "exist in many times in the first place. I think if you want to specify a time it should be the time of an event, which is why I suggested the version that I did above. Similar issues ensue with the {me} version.

Say, {mi} and {do}, respectively.

You could say "mi pe ca cu zmadu do pe pu ku lo ka ..."
