Re: "what i have for dinner"

«People used to use {jei} for "whether", until it was realized that if
le jei da klama is TRUE, then you are claiming that ro da zo'u mi kucli
TRUE -- which is not what you want to claim at all. li'osa'a»

It is!? Let's break it down:

le
one-or-more-specific-things-each-of-which-I-describe-as

jei
being-a-truth-value-of

da klama
X goes

I hate to cite references, but the exact same construct (in the same
context) is used in example 11.7.6 of the Reference Grammar (ta'o, does this
book have a Lojban name?)

Says,
