But your understanding does not disagree with my (in
this case).
{le xirma poi mi nelci} ? is ?the horse which I like?
and you see this horse {do viska le xirma poi...}.

The same {prenu poi mi penmi} is person that I met.
And this person is the first german person {pamoi le'i
dotco prenu poi ...}. But it is not clear in which
sens he is ?the first".
