What's this about a 3rd meaning? Maybe I misunderstood you. How would you use {jezvelji'i} to translate "you have no evidence for that"? >How could I use jei for that? And, I never use indirect questions. Some people use {jei} instead of {du'u xukau}. In fact, this is the only usage {jei} has seen as far as I can tell. Avoiding indirect questions is fine, as long as you don't fall in the trap of saying {mi djuno le se zvati be do} to mean "I know where you are" ({mi djuno le du'u do zvati makau}). How would you say that? co'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
