Reference The Complete Lojban Language: Chapter 10 What is Lojban: Lojban for beginners: Spacetime journeys To specify where and when an event happens, or a relation is true, we can describe a spacetime journey that, by default, is referred to the speaker position/time. Time pu ca ba nau ku past present future current speaker's tense tenses are to be placed before the selbri, closed tenses (i.e. followed by the terminator ku) can be moved in other positions within the bridi (e.g: mi ba klama baku mi klama)
Sticky tenses ki set the reference position/time. Subsequent tenses are relative to the sticky one. ki alone, resets the reference point to be the speaker's location/time.
Events pu'o co'a co'u za'u de'a di'a ca'o co'i ba'o fe'e mo'u the time before the event the beginning of the event the end of the event (completed or not) when the event actully ended, past its natural end the time when the event was suspended the time when the event has been resumed during the event the event as a whole the time after the event, the aftermath time event to space portions. e.g.: fe'eba'o = Beyond ... the natural end of the event (independet of co'u). For example, a race have a natural end but for somebody it may end earlier (the car broke) while someone else will continue running for some time after the race end (e.g. the winner does another lap).
