[lojban-beginners] Re: A question about se



In that case, couldn't you say {le fanva barda} instead of {le barda se fanva}? Or am I missing something here?

Wouldn't the use of se in front of the selbri signify that it is the
selbri, thus making cu useless? Or is se one of those cmavo that can
be placed anywhere in a bridi, thus making cu necessary?

sumti can be as complex as needed (including SE-conversions).
If you want to say "the big translated text", you need {se} in your compound sumti : {le barda se fanva} ({le barda fanva} would be "the big translator").
So {se} will never do the job of {cu}.

In other words, if {cu} is omitted here, {se tcika} would be considered as a
part of the first sumti.
