The Whether or Not Operator[edit | edit source]
u[edit | edit source]
The little word u means x whether or not y and links together predicates.
Examples[edit | edit source]
- mi godzi u brecea - I go, whether or not I am ready
- da bakso u redro - it is a box, whether or not it is red
- ti bukcu u ponsu ti - it is a book, whether or not I own it
cu, ku and icu[edit | edit source]
We can use the little word cu to link together arguments and so does ku. However, ku works as a forethought operator and works with ki. The little word icu links sentences.
Examples[edit | edit source]
cu
- mi godzi le hasfa cu vemsia - I go to the house, whether or not I go to the shop
- le katmu cu kangu gu fundi le ficlu - The cat, whether or not the dog, likes the fish
ku
- mi godzi le ku hasfa ki vemsia - I go to the house, whether or not I go to the shop
- tu fleti la Romas cu Pari's - you fly to Rome, whether or not you fly to Paris
icu
- tu vrelaa icu mi vrecoa - you are tall, whether or not I am short
