la ivAn cusku di'e
`I grew up in a small town' most likely means that it was a small town when the speaker was growing up, whether or not it is one now (though there is nothing wrong with clarifying `what was then' or `what is now' as appropriate).
I wonder how that works in Lojban.
Which one is {mi pu banro vi lo ca cmalu tcadu}?
I guess since {mi pu banro vi lo nau cmalu tcadu} is
"what is now", the other must be "what was then"?
I'm not confortable with the interaction between selbri tcita
and sumti tenses yet.
