Here are the definitions of PU that I have:

ba = after time tense relation/direction: will [selbri]; after [sumti]; default future tense

ca = during time tense relation/direction: is [selbri]; during / simultaneous with [sumti]; present tense

pu = before time tense relation/direction: did [selbri]; before/prior to [sumti]; default past tense

 

Each can be used with either a selbri or a sumti. I don't know if they can be used without either: {mi ca gleki} (with selbri) vs. {mi gleki ca} (with neither selbri nor sumti). With sumti: {mi gleki ca lo nu do zvati ti}.

 

 

  Yes, but you used it in the MIDDLE of the selbri "smila nu", where it may not go.

 

{smila [sic: cmila] nu} is a selbri? I thought {nu} was part of the following structure, which in {smila nu} is missing.

"mi cmila nu damba" is grammatical, but "mi cmila ca nu damba" is not. You
can't have a tense marker on the second part of a tanru.

 

Is there a TAG here somewhere? I don't see one. Or I don't remember what a TAG is.
