I'm not sure what you mean by

I don't like how gua\spi works here cuz as i can see it demands using another gismu every time you change the value of {ce'u}.

Can you show me what you mean?

Although it's not the right place to discuss it here please translate to gua\spi

So I have to translate this for you, but you don't like how it works? I'm not sure you can properly judge it then.

1."I want to eat an apple".

The normal way uses an infinitive compound:

^:i
\ji /daw crw \xo plyw

But you can also use an explicit infinitive:

^:i \ji /daw \vo crw \xo plyw

2."I want you to eat an apple".

^:i \ji /gu pli \ju ^vo crw \xo plyw

or

^:i \ji ^ju /gu pli \crw \xo plyw



btw, what is your opinion about {ka=su'u ce'u}?

I'm not sure how to answer that question. You can say that ka is du'u ce'u, I don't know what the advantage is in defining ka in terms of su'u, because to me su'u could then mean nu or ni, which means that ka could become nu ce'u or ni ce'u. So why not use a more precise abstractor? Also, what is the point anyway? ka has at least one ce'u in it, that's pretty clear to almost everyone. Why do you need to use su'u here?
