xu "mi ponse lo pipno" smudu'i "mi ponse lo pipno ku"?
(Also is that how I ask questions?)
(Close enough)
(It seems like there are two ways to turn things to nouns and I'm not sure which is right or if they're both just different ways)

@uma It looks like "lo [something]" and "lo [something] ku" both do the same thing? Two different guides taught that same thing different ways.

@VoxSomniator @uma well lo (something) ku (something) basically makes like (thing) "is a" thing.
Ex. "lo djun ku cifnu"

@VoxSomniator @uma Grammar is the hardest part for me. But I can form some simple sentences and get my point accross.

@uma Ohh okay, dang. Thank you!

@VoxSomniator @uma elaborating: "cu" is the word that explicitly marks the verb. you often see "ku" and "cu" in the same place because if "cu" marks the verb than "ku" can be dropped at the end of the noun before it, and if the noun is ended with "ku" then the "cu" can be dropped instead

@uma @VoxSomniator it's all a matter of preference here but i like to use cu because it makes "je cu" or "jo cu" easier to parse for two verbs in one bridi
