15:13:45 @xalbo | "ba'o citka => ca co'e ba'o lo nu citka" That's wrong, and backwards. | |
15:14:00 ldleworker | how so | |
15:14:09 ldleworker | "we are in the aftermath of eating" | |
15:14:24 ldleworker | "the now as an aftermath of eating" | |
15:14:29 @xalbo | That's not what {ca co'e ba'o lo nu citka} means. | |
15:15:23 @xalbo | So {ca co'e ba'o lo nu citka} means that the aftermath of what we're doing now is | |
| the eating, not that now is the aftermath of the eating. | |
I actually meant "the now *has* an aftermath of eating", that is, eating will be the aftermath of what we're doing now. | |
That's the same as what you say in your clarification. But even if the conversation went: | |
15:13:45 @xalbo | "ba'o citka => ca co'e ba'o lo nu citka" That's wrong, and backwards. | |
15:14:00 ldleworker | how so | |
15:14:09 ldleworker | "we are in the aftermath of eating" | |
15:14:24 ldleworker | "the now has* an aftermath of eating" | |
These two english renderings still say two different things. | |
"ba'o citka" | |
"we are in the aftermath of eating" | |
citka | |

The original typo would have actually been correct: | |
"ca co'e ba'o lo nu citka" | |
"the now as* an aftermath of eating" | |
citka | |

"the now *as* an aftermath of eating" is actually the right interpretation. | |
So to summarize my conclusions from your lesson: | |
The preposition "ba'o X" *does not* state "the bridi _has_ an aftermath of X". | |
The proposition "ba'o X" does state "the bridi _is_ an aftermath of X". | |
The preposition "ba X" *does not* state "the bridi _has_ a future of X" | |
The preposition "ba X" does state "the bridi _is_ the future of X" | |
