Re: [lojban] Beginner help, with also, How to reference product names that have no official Lojiban translation?



So, the segment "se pi'o la .skaip." means "using Skype"? Roughly?
Split componentwise, does the first sentence mean "I! use Skype [in some event where] you talk."?

Thank you.
one question, what does sepi'o mean or do in a bridi? 
{se pi'o} is two words. Just {pi'o} is a tag which inserts the x1 place of {pilno} into a bridi. With {se} in front, you get a tag which inserts the x2 place. We can be more precise by actually using {pilno} as our main selbri and filling all three of its places:

.i ko pilno la .skaip. lo nu do tavla

Or we can be less precise by making a tanru:

.i ko pilno be la .skaip. [be'o] tavla

mi'e la latro'a mu'o (This means "my name is {latro'a}, my message is complete, you may respond.")
