I was kind of wondering about that. I probably would have used {ca lo cabdei mi ...} but I don't see why {cabdei lo nu mi...} can't work. I would wait to hear from the jbocemcei, though ;)

Ah, I see. But the {cabdei lonu} bit works for "Today, ....", yes?

I don't think you can. {.i} terminates the abstraction. You could use {gi'e} though. (which, incidentally would also allow you to drop all the {mi}'s as well

{.i cabdei lonu mi te vecnu lo sipydakli gi'e kansa lo mi pendo me'e la.tom. gi'e gunka lo mi garna prenu skina}

So, I was trying to figure out how to say, "Today, I bought a sleeping bag, hung out with my friend Tom, and worked on my stick man video.", and this is what I came up with:

{.i cabdei lonu mi te vecnu lo sipydakli .ijeba mi kansa lo mi pendo me'e la.tom. .ijeba mi gunka lo mi garna prenu skina}

Now, my question is, is that right? And how to I get all three bridi into the {lonu}?
