Re: [lojban] me le cmalu turni me'u panomoi bo pagbu

erm... {ei} is almost always used to talk about the speaker.
for example:
	ca gunka .ei
means "I need to work", not "you should work".


Yes, if it's understood as {mi ca gunka ei}: "I should work now".


If I say
	do ca gunka .ei
it means that *I* feel obliged that you work.  (Perhaps i'm a
middle-manager).


No. The way I understand it is "I feel that things should be
such that you are now working", i.e. "you should work".


To mean what you want I think the dai is neccesary:
	do ca gunka .eidai


To me that would mean that I empathize with your feeling
that things should be such that you work. Not "you should
be working" but "you feel you should be working".
