And, of course, I have Yet Another Beginners Question:
Why in refgrammar and textbook etc. {su'o re} is always
suggested as equivalent of plural? When I think about
something plural, I have not "two or more" in mind, but
rather "more than one". Therefore {za'u pa} is better
for me. And what is more, {pa} is default here, so just
{za'u} should work. {za'u prenu tavla fo la lojban.}
is shorter than {su'o re prenu tavla fo la lojban.},
and express what we usually have in mind more direcly.
Why it is never used in lojban teaching texts?

Good luck!
