I love you .gy. la lojban fu Well, that doesn't make an explicit indirect question but put an explicit subordinate clause marker in the main clause, which seems a bad idea. Several people have tried various notions of what {kau} might mean in a main clause, but I don't think any of them were very plausible and certainly none of them have won general acceptance. So, I would go with either {ko fanva zoi gy I love you gy la lojban } or {do fanva zoi gy I love you gy la lojban fu ma} -- an ordinary request or an question.
