[lojban-beginners] Re: Besides

ki'esai 

so you would say ".iki'u lenu ko'a cpacu loi xlali teryru'e .iji'a
ra'unai tu'a ko'a fanza loi verba di'o le skule foldi" (my grammar will
probably be incorrect though...)

Maybe you meant "ku'i"? "ki'u" (because) and "ku'i" (but) is one
of the most frequently confused pairs.

Whether I used ku'i or ki'u, I would have been wrong either way ;-)

"ji'a" (additionally) or "ji'a ra'unai" (additionally-incidentally).
