Re: [lojban] How to express "I like where you're going with this".



Careful, Logjam terminology not withstanding, tanru are only occasionally metaphors in the extralojbanic sense. But I assume you are not working on a literal version of the English, something along the lines of {mi nelci lo nu do klama makau}, but "I like the resultant message" ( very loosely) doesn't capture it. I suppose you mean either that you like what you anticipate to be the final point of the discussion or that you lie the way that the position is being presented or (probably) both.  I suppose tense are pretty inevitably involved.

{mi nelci lo se binxo se cusku} Is the best I've come up with. The binxo seems only metaphorically correct, but I suppose since tanru are metaphors, it might be ok (ju'ocu'i). I opted out of tenses because they don't seem appropriate here. Any ideas?
