Hi! I don't know how can I utter something like "I have lunch here". I suggest: mi vi citka le dormijysai But that meaning is "I eat the lunch here". It isn't the same... so anyone suggests a better way of saying that?
What is the difference between eating lunch and having lunch? English frequently uses "have" where the action involved is obvious. If you want to emphasise the whole event of lunch rather than the mere eating of it, I suppose you could use a "nu" construction, but I can't really see the point. In many natural languages, you'd have to say "eat lunch" anyway.
