RE: [lojban-beginners] Re: "mi prami do" or "mi cu prami do" ?

I think you're getting a little confused, there. Birdhouse is still a noun. Even if it were a bird-shaped house it would be 'bird-shaped (adj.) house (noun). The only way it would even work in your example would be to call it a 'bird-built house'. I can't actually think of any examples of nouns that can literally (without being a homonym or changed in some way) 'be transformed' into an adjective.
 
Whether or not lojban will allow it is another matter...that I'm afraid I can't answer.

OK, let me explain. Of course, I knew that pro-sumti cannot form tanru.

But ... is it anyway possible to form tanru with pro-sumti included ?

In English almost any noun can be transformed into an adjective.

Like
cipni   - a bird (noun)
cipni dinju  - a bird (adjective) house. A building somehow connected with birds. may be a building built by birds.

So how should i transfrom "mi" so it can mean something like "mine" in English ?
