Me ia era. Me ia construi la frase como en un lingua romanica, con
la preposada ante la infinitivo. Ma me no acorda con tu en la
posablia de no usar la infinitivo en esta casos. Me sabe ce en LFN
es posable usar o no usar esta forma pos la verbos aidante, ma me
pensa ce esta regula es tro confusante en alga casos. Un esemplo es
la frase "me vole es bon". Esta frase pote sinifiar "I want to be
good" e "my intention is good".  Si nos usa sempre la infinitivo en
esta casos, no va esister alga posiblia de confusa.

Bon voles
