We don't have a good word for "intend", but assuming we can ignore the
problems of "platu", then "lo se platu be do ka'a na se djica" (or "na
bi'ai se djica").

For some reason "se platu" became the preferred word for (computer)
program though, which I'm not sure how to reconcile with intentions.
Also platu has an x3 which I don't understand, and my ideal word for
"intend" would not be restricted to things that are to happen in the
future of the intending.
