[lojban-beginners] Re: Heath is the Man!.

It depends on what you mean by that. Your sentence literally means
Heath is the same as one male humanoid person. It would be a bad habit
to use "mintu" as a substitute for "is." To get into a Lojbanic frame
of mind you must leave behind the need for the word "is." For
instance, if you want to say "Heath is a male humanoid person" you can
just say {xit. nanmu}.
