Hi! If I want to say "I have a car. The car is white.":

1. with {le}: mi ponse le karce .i le karce cu blabi
2. with {lo}: mi ponse lo karce .i lo karce cu blabi
I think the first choice is better. Am I right?
Let me put it this way: You're not wrong. It's perfectly fine to use {le} instead of {lo}, but I wouldn't myself say it's better to. I also wouldn't say it's worse to.
As long as the thing you're talking about can be the x1 of whatever you're using to describe it (i.e. something you are calling {lo ve klama} must be a means of transportation), {lo} is never wrong, so when in doubt, use {lo}.

{le} is what you say when you have a particular thing in mind or when you want to indicate that the thing you're talking about isn't necessarily a {broda}; {lo} is what you say whenever you don't want to indicate the previous fact. Most people use {le} for "the", but I think this is malgli.
mi'a got a request to explain the difference between {lo} and {le} with good examples from English. The person who is asking for that is not satisfied with what is described in BPFK sections of
lojban.org. Please help.
