What do you mean by "eats"? I gather you aren't using the word literally. Is there a Lojbanic word for the concept? Oh, I read http://lojban.github.io/cll/13/14/index.html further
and perhaps pe'u requires a name parameter? So, would this be correct? pe'u do.i ko dragau mi
The vlasisku fi'i dictionary entry does not make it clear to a non-linguist why pe'u "eats" while e'o does not, so it would be good if that could be clarified in more simple terms. It would also be good to link it to e'o. Examples would also be nice. I will probably use filta'a next time: .e'o ko dragau mi ki'u le nu mi na filta'a
"«lo dei se karni» meaning 'the magazine-content related to this sentence'" seems long-winded. Is there not a generic way to refer to "this (entire) text"? I mean "text" as it is used in literary
theory, not just only actual text, so it could be a speech, etc..
Could I say this? mi ze'u ciska ti Was there something wrong with the logical implication of ni'i? "Plipe is a grasshopper, thus Plipe eats grass" is what I meant.
In regards to
la plipe cu citka le srasu ni'i la plipe cu pipyjalra
was there a way I could have written it using the equivalent of "it" or "she" as per the English version? I didn't because I wasn't sure how.
Thanks very much for your corrections :)

So, first of all, «pe'u» eats the «ko», giving a sentence meaning something like "Please do so that someone corrects me". I recommend that you use «.e'o». Then, «la .lojban. na verclibau mi»,
in order to be contained in «ki'u», has to be made into a sumti with «lo nu». I also prefer «jbebau» instead of «verclibau». So, the sentence would look like:
.e'o ko dragau mi ki'u lo nu la .lojban. na jbebau mi
Again, «fi'i» eats the «ko». This time I'd use «.e'e» ('encouragement') for this sentence:
.i .e'e ko spuda
Because «plipe» is not a cmevla, you don't need the '.' after it. «la plipe» is all fine.
If you want to stick to using cmevla, you can say «la .plipes.» or «la .plip.».
«la plipe cu pipyjalra» is a bridi, and «ni'i» can eat a sumti. So you need to use «lo nu», making it:
la plipe cu citka le srasu ki'u lo nu la plipe cu pipyjalra
«ni'i» is a word for logical implication, so the sentence would mean 'Plipe is a grasshopper, thus Plipe eats grass'. «ki'u» is a better fit here.
The first sentence says you've been writing just *it* for a long time. What about this:
.i mi ze'u ciska lo dei se karni
«lo dei se karni» meaning 'the magazine-content related to this sentence'.
I'm really glad you've written this, and thus made my concept a real thing. Don't hesitate to write again (or ask further questions).
