Re: [saweli] Re: ditransitive verbs: he called me a friend - subjunctive

Yes. "as if she were in the garden". And yes, it is weird. I ran out of un-weird examples, sorry. :-)
And yes, "ni nomis lin nova amiko" is a good example. So, I think we understood what kind of phenomenon it is. And I'm doing some research as well on it. 

Good. :-)

Bye,
Stefo

stefo,
"Li auxdis la knabinon engxardena" seems really weird to me. Does it mean "as if she were in the garden"? This paraphrase brings in at least a subjunctive. I suppose I should do some research into the phenomenon exemplified by "Ni nomis lin nova amiko".
