Didn't catch that because it's a weird construction.
What is the actual meaning of {mi broda je brode} and how does it differ from {mi broda gi'e brode}? Obviously it has to have a different meaning because of place structure defaults and tanru-ness, but what is this I don't even ^w^w^w^w^w^w^w^w^w^w^w^w^w^w^w^w^w^w^w^w^w^w
"mi broda je broda" means that I am member of those things that are both "broda" and "brode". Of it course that is also true iff "mi broda gi'e brode" - "I am broda" and "I am brode". The first construction basically defines a set of things that is the intersection of two sets, and then asserts my place in that intersection, whereas the second construction asserts my membership in the two sets independently, and says that I am in both.
Clearer?
