[lojban-beginners] Ramblings on Red Hair
mi'e la fagri cipni
I don't know if I can do this but, I think:
.i mi se ke xunre kerfa [ke'e]
I have red hair.
I'm not sure that the se-series can be used on a ke...ke'e grouping.
I am dissatisfied with "mi xunre se kerfa" because it says that "I am
a red possessor-of hair", which does not make it as clear that my
hair is the thing that is red. "xunre kerfa" should mean "x1 is red
hair of x2 on body part x3" -- I know that even that doesn't quite
say that the red refers to the hair being red, but it seems better
than "xunre se kerfa" to me.
.i tu'a mi rinka lo za'i lo kerfa be mi ku xunre binxo
I cause my hair to become red. (This is my way of saying that I dye
my hair.)
.i mi nelci lo li'i mi se kerfa lo xunre
I like the experience of my hair being red.
