I would say {ca le krefu} for "next time". Let's say we use {snada} for "do well". Then {sadmau} for "do better than someone else", and {sadze'a} for plain "do better". ca le krefu mi ba sadze'a The next time I'll do better. mi ba za'ure'u sadze'a I'll do better once again. The latter means that I did better this time, and I will again do better in the future. This one would make more sense with {sadmau}: mi ba za'ure'u sadmau [ko'a] I'll do better [than him] again. To get the "next time" meaning we can't use {za'ure'u} because it is not the current bridi (doing better) that will be repeated, but rather a previously mentioned or understood action (whatever it is that I did, which I _didn't_ do better). I'm not sure that can be done without a brivla. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
