hi,here my questions and comments on the 12th lesson. it would be really great if one of you could explain them to me. thank you.
kastebyo,
sts.
lesson12:
Pegompa Kajobyo vekxe ne jabudinja to.
= John opened the window and left the room.
sts: isn't this ambigiuos? for example, what means "Casi Kajobyo
jakoski ne jabudinja to"? does it mean "John wants to study and to
leave the room" or "John wants to study and left the room"?
lesson12: Poor Mary cleaned the empty refrigerator with her tears. Nagompa Kamaryabyo busensa bumespu bubitsando xomse vevyu maho. sts: why not "bubitsanto" instead of "bubistando"? lesson12: I'll give you the money for the carpets and a few pieces of furniture. Goy temba mi tumi setoy vaspe levokxe ne zwe fomu.sts: this means that you will buy the carpets and the pieces of forniture, using the money that i will give you. but what if i buyed the carpets and the pieces of forniture, but i will give the money for that later? would i have to use in that case "vamse" instead of "vaspe"? ->
*"Goy temba mi tumi setoy vamse levokxe ne zwe fomu." lesson12: It's unlikely that you have no memory of using the restaurant's truck. Fobe bupesi tumi jaxonfa fungo te funye.sts: why doesn't /xo/ have a classifier? are there any other words that don't have classifiers? or did i miss something?
lesson12: The banker bought the blue airplane because he liked it more than the brown one. Sesku sebyo cingo cimyu vakxe pi lisi xeku sehi cihi tane kobumyunti.sts: i got "Sesku sebyo cingo cimyu vakxe pi jalisi xeku cihi tane kobumyunti." - is that correct? and, what if we were talking about a pilot? would if have to say "vakxe pi lisi xeku cihi cihi"?
lesson12: The big cat climbed down the shopping mall tower away from the open windows. Pi buxuskinza casne binsa xuvu te gebinye budi levekxe pego. sts: spontaneously i wrote "budinge" instead of "budi". what's the difference? lesson12: A wise astronaut will have two spaceships in case one is bad. sts: lol! :) lesson12: The wealthy person who owns the skyscraper penthouse covets my emeralds. sts: btw: what is an emmerald? lesson12: I remember that I put a few coins on the telephone near the kitchen stove. Pesi mi vodimba mi fosetoy fomu taspu bupedindu mespu te gemeto. sts: is it wrong to say "bupensandu" instead of "bupedindu"? lesson12: Why did you imitate the least intelligent student here? Pi batenza tumi kocabyo kogo suku kwanto kivakxe?sts: i always forget the /kiwakxe/ in the end. what's the first possible place to put it?
