Re: [lojban-beginners] Re: BAI zi'o

Actually, this raises an interesting question:
{ko'a broda .ijonai ko'a broda no da}
is accepted. What about:
{ko'a broda .ijonai ko'a broda fi'o brode no da}
Ordinally {fi'o brode ko'e} would mean "where ko'e brode (in general, not specific to this sentence), which is somehow related to the sentence". Does this mean that {... fi'o brode no da} asserts {no da brode} and that this fact is somehow related to the sentence?

If so, {TAG zi'o} and {TAG no da} become very, very different things.

First, {bau} means "in langage", second, what you want is "bai".
And third, you Alex are wrong, because {bu'a bai zi'o} simply means
{bu'a} : it deletes this place from the predicate.
To say that broda or whatsoever happens without compulsion, you must
say "broda bai noda", because if you don't,
{zo'e} will always remplace it, something that does not precise
anything.
