Ummm... Remove the le nu at the front and add a le nu after tezu'e gives you: .i mi pu klama le cmana poi se cmene zo .alp. tezu'e le nu mi te skiji loi snime which is I went to the mountains with name Alp for the goal of I ski on the snow. Which I think is what you want. > Would there be a better way of saying it? > For example, would {le la .alp. cmana} be better than {le cmana poi se cmene zo > .alp.}? Nope; that's the mountains owned by someone named Alp, conventionally at least. I'd use "be me'e". > Is {loi} appropriate for {snime} here? Absolutely. > Is the construction {le nu ... tezu'e ...} correct for saying "I have > done this for/in_order_to do that"?
