 Yes, almost as easily as English... :)  >>

But with the advantage that the person is inherent in the predicate, not an
add-on, which the original author, at least, thought was a problem.

I'm not sure it really is an advantage. For those not of
the subjectivist persuasion it may be preferrable that
the language make it a bit more awkward to express "nonsense".
For the Sapir-Whorfians this might be a good test: does
learning Lojban turn you into a subjectivist?
