[lojban-beginners] Re: leaving a sumti out



komfo:

> dunda lo cnino vanju botpi mi
An observative is a selbri with no stated x1, but there's no brivla in that utterance. It's just a string of three sumti:
{ .i (le dunda) (lo cnino vanju botpi) (mi) }
-------------

To which the person you are speaking to could probably ask "mo"  ("What about them?  What's the relatioinship between them.?) And there is yet another case of  person B finishing A's setence: le dunda lo cnino vanju botpi mi mo.  Then you could respond (for example) "pu vecnu" Which would then mean "The giver sold a new bottle of wine to me")
