The Whether or Not Operator
u
The little word u means x whether or not y and links together predicates.
Examples
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
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
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
