Or: mi facki le du'u cusku di'e bau la lojban ta'i makau "I discovered how to say the following in Lojban." But "figure out" is actually more active than {facki}. Presumably you had to put some effort into it, which {facki} does not require, so your {snada} is good: {mi snada le nu facki...}, or even {mi faksnada le du'u ...} co'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
