Both {ko tu'a mi ze'i denpa} and {.e'o do ze'i denpa} seem okay to me. {.e'o do ze'i xrukla vi} — "please go back for a short time and at a short distance" ~ "please be such that, during a short time, at a short distance, you're going back". I'm not quite sure what did you mean with this one sentence, but it isn't suitable for the original English sentence. Maybe did you want {.e'o do ze'i zvada'o} — "please be away for a short duration"? As for {.e'o mi'a ze'i djica lo nu sivytavla}, the way {.e'o} is usually used, it would mean "I request you that for a short time we want private-talking", in which "we want" seems misplaced. I'd have said {.e'o mi'a ze'i sivycasnu} — "I request you that me-and-the-other(s) privatly talk to each other for a small duration" —, or {.e'o curmi lo nu mi'a ze'i sivycasnu}. .a'o mi sidju mi'e la .ilmen. mu'o -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lojban Beginners" group.
