Re: [lojban-beginners] difference between pu'o and ba

[Remo Dentato <rdentato@gmail.com>]

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.

I've read the CLL chapter on tenses at least 3 times by now and the interval contours still don't make intuitive sense 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.
