cgboeree | Re: [LinguaFrancaNova] Re: imajina

Hello Kevin!  Long time no hear from!

You are quite right.  Stefan, and later myself, were trying to keep a
little of the rhythm of the original.  There is no "there is..." in LFN,
if you recall, that being expressed ordinarily by a simple "es..." but
that can make for difficulties.  I was thinking "imagina: es no
paradiso."  Your sentence is, of course, a good one.  Esiste sounds so
technical, though.  Perhaps "imagina ce no es paradiso?"  Stefan, what
do you like?
