I would understand {mi ba citka lo plise} as "I will eat the apple" and {mi pu'o citka lo plise} as "I'm about to eat the apple" or "I'm yet to eat the apple".
In both cases you might eat the apple in the future but the two cases looks different to me.

Could somebody explain the difference between {mi ba citka lo plise} and {mi pu'o citka lo plise}?--I'm less fuzzy about the point contours like mo'u, co'a, co'i, etc... but pu'o, ca'o, and ba'o still don't seem very different from regular ba, ca, and pu respectively.You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lojban Beginners" group.
