Re: [lojban] Re: shorthand for conversations
I assume you meant cu'u instead of cu'e?
I'm not sure it's quite the same. I don't think there's a difference between
Alice: John's a fool.
and
Alice said, "John's a fool."
but those are different from
Alice said that John's a fool.
(indirect quote, may not have been her exact words), which is how I would
translate:
cu'u la alis. la djan. bebna
Or am I overanalyzing?
