[lojban-beginners] Re: How to say something beyond my level

Minus the bit about sawing vs. hacking vs. clawing vs. scraping vs.
chopping vs. hugging vs. botanically molesting... yeah. x1 of katna is
the thing/object that's doing the actual cutting, so {.i mi jai gau
katna} or {.i mi ka'argau} would be preferable.

That's correct.

> {mi krixa zoi .gy. Get out of bed! .gy.} is clearly wrong, but what about
Clearly...

> {mi krixa se du'u zoi .gy. Get out of bed! .gy.}?  Also wrong, right?
Also wrong. You forgot LE there and there's only one sumti in your se
du'u.
lo se krixa is a sound, not anything meaningful like text, so it's not
particularly important for now.

Maybe try lausku? "Loud-express"

Sorry for the excess information (I'm sure the point isn't which value
of 'cut' you need, but the time-related conditions) and I hope your
discussion turns out well.
