[lojban-beginners] How to say "I see someone talking to you"? Is "be–bei–be'o" construction good for that?



Hi everyone,

I would like to say the following: "I see someone talking to you."

As far as I understand,  ".i mi viska le tavla" means "I see a talker" or, in other words, "I see someone talking". But I want to say a bit more. I want to specify that talking is "to you". So, I guess I need to use the "be–bei–be'o" construction and I am not sure about that since here https://lojban.github.io/cll/5/7/ this construction is used to "extend" one of the gismu from a tanru and I want to extend a sumti.

In general I want to be able to say things like: (1) "I see a man reading a book", (2) "The man knows a dog walking from home". Is "be–bei–be'o" gives a way to say these sentences or I need to use something else?

Thank you,
Roman
