stevo
My first post on the big jboste .ui
Frequently this equivalence is used:
caku mi broda == mi ca broda
and similar such things with PU. But {ku} isn't terminating anything
in LE, so this doesn't really make sense. At the same time we want to
be able to quickly say "now" or "later" without being constrained to
putting the tense before the selbri. The simplest way would be to
simply use {zo'e}, which is actually what I thought was going on with
{caku} and the lot. But this isn't especially precise; we should be
able to point at "the present moment" more easily and precisely, and
also be able to talk about it in terms of more than just tenses.
So why not give it a pro-sumti? The first CV'V I could find was {ja'u}
(I was very surprised to find some of the CV'V that already exist;
{ga'o} is a prominent example); why not use that?
The short version of this:
Proposal: {ja'u}: pro-sumti; the present moment relative to the
speaker.
mu'o mi'e latros.
