Re: TECH: grammar updates



C.J.Fine@BRADFORD.AC.UK spoke thus:

}It seems to me then that
}        da jai broda
}is equivalent to
}        tu'a da broda
}je'upei

Yes. The main point of {jai} is that you can use it inside sumti as well.
{le jai broda} is, in {tu'a} terms, only {da poi tu'a da broda}.
