[lojban] {X1 selbri X2} = {X2 se selbri X1}?

["opi_lauma" <opi_lauma@yahoo.com>]

Hello!

I have new question. Is it true that {X1 selbri X2} = {X2 se selbri
X1}? For example is {la tam. tavla la meris.} equivalent to {la meris.
se tavla la tam.} ?

The reason of my doubt is following. I found that {la tam. tavla la
meris.} should be translated as "Tom talks to Mary", and {la meris. se
tavla la tam.} should be translated as "Mary listens to Tom." But it
seams to me that these two English translations have different
meaning. Really, if Tom talk to Mary it does not necessarily mean that
Mary listen to Tom. Does it mens that corresponding initial lojban
sentences also have different meaning, or may be English translations
just not fully represent initial meaning of lojban sentences?
