My understanding is that Lojban, like Loglan before it, has a goal of 
making irrational statements impossible.  I assume that I could make a 
statement that "green clouds sleep furiously," but that's semantics.  
Purely syntactically, it should be impossible to make a statement which is 
valid yet senseless.

If that is the case, what meaning would be taken from

mi dunda ma ko

It's part question and part command.

One possible translataion might be "Take whatever you want from me, but
you're required to take something."

Or perhaps "Act in such a way that I will give you the reward of your 
choice."

Or, as a third option, "Behave such that I'll give *what* to you?"  with
the other party supposed to respond "Ice cream!" or some other previously
promised reward and thereby be reminded of the inspiration for obeying.

Do any of these interpretations make sense?  Is there a better
interpretation?  Or is this just a goofy statement with no real meaning?
