Re: [lojban-beginners] Mixing tenses

[Ian Johnson <blindbravado@gmail.com>]

One way would be {lo ni ko'a [ca] broda cu zmadu lo ni ko'e pu brode}. I should comment however that as a rule I don't advocate "complete" ni, since they're sort of not type safe (you can get nonsense like {lo ni mi clani cu zmadu lo ni do xendo}).

This is something I've wanted to ask for a while. I can't find a good way to compare two non-LE-based sumti that are specifically from different tenses.

I can say “x is more than y used to be” by saying {lo ca broda cu zmadu lo pu brode}. But if the sumti are {ko'a} and {ko'e}, I have to resort to {lo ca me ko'a cu zmadu lo pu me ko'e}, which seems less than optimal.

Is that the way it's done? Or is there something on the bridi level?
