[lojban-beginners] Re: spofu pemci



Both {.i ki'u banzu fa le mi jdini} and {.i ki'u ku banzu fa le mi jdini}
are _grammatically_ correct, but neither is what is wanted here.

{ki'u} is a tag and, like all tags, it can be used as a selbri tcita, or as
a sumti tcita, or as a separate term terminated with a ku.

{ki'u banzu fa le mi jdini} and {ki'u ku banzu fa le mi jdini} both say that
there is a reason for my money being enough. Probably there is a
reason, but that's not what I take the intended meaning was.

All tags can also be used to connect two bridi. What is wanted here
is {.i ki'u bo banzu fa le mi jdini}.

{.i ki'u bo} connects two bridi, and it says that the second bridi is the reason
for the first one. My money being sufficient is thus the reason for my happy
song and dance.
