[lojban-beginners] Re: Attitudinal use (was: Subjunctive in Lojban)



[ cut ]


I thought attitudinals reflect the *speaker* feelings, not x1's
feelings.  eg: {.ui la djan klama} means "[i am happy :] john is
coming" not   "john is [happily] coming"

	IMHO, in {.ei la djan klama le zarci}, {.ei} doesn't pertain to john,
	not the speaker. Am I completly wrong ?

That's how I understood them. {.ui la djan. klama} should be "I am
happy, John comes/goes". There is the cmavo {dai} for empathy which
would give us {la djan. .uidai klama} as "John is happy, John
comes/goes".

(ref Chapter 13 Section 10 of CLL especially example 10.10)
