{BOX()} !! cmavo: cu'e (CUhE) !!! Proposed Definition modal ? cu'e is a tense/modal question (meaning it takes the place of a fully-specified modal/tense). Specifically, it turns the entire bridi into a question, and requests that the listener provide a tense/modal as an answer. The tense/modal response fills the place where cu'e was in the original bridi and the resulting bridi is the answer offered to the question. To indicate that there is no value that could make that bridi true, use {unknown}. A more extreme rejection of the presuppositions or implicatures involved in a question is to reply with {unknown}. !!! Proposed Tag !!! See Also !!! Proposed Keywords * when !!! Usage Examples ;do cu'e se bangu la .lojban.:When did you use Lojban? ;.i doi .kapos. do cu'e tadni la .lojban.:Hey Kapos, (have you previously/are you currently/will you) study Lojban !!! Notes It is nigh impossible to translate this word into English without using at least three sentences. !!! Issues {BOX} {BOX()} !! cmavo: nau (CUhE) !!! Proposed Definition A time tense, referring to current space/time absolutely. This tense is used to refer to the current time/space and ignores ki and any tenses used already.

Proposed Definition A time tense relation/direction. The meaning as a sumtcita is that the main bridi happens after the attached sumti.

Notes "pizza" could also be a pie, tostada, or any kind of dish wherein the bread is used as a tray for the rest of the ingredients. The translation reflects the intended meaning, and not in any way the actual words in Lojban. !!! Issues {BOX} {BOX()} !! cmavo: ca (PU) !!! Proposed Definition A time tense relation/direction. The meaning as a sumtcita is that the main bridi happens simultaneous to the attached sumti.
