Thank you.
"You, once and a thousand times, are correct.""paroi" is "once", literally "1-time". "paki'oroi" is "a thousand times", literally "1-3digitComma-times". Both expressions act like tenses, e.g. "pu" or "ba". In this case, "je" asserts that both tenses apply to the sentence.

>>1380Is that "once and a thousand times" an English idiom of sorts? I (whose native tongue isn't English) failed to instantly recognise the meaning.

>>1382No. It's a legal, if awkward, sentence, but not an idiom. Normally one would say something like "You were correct twenty times.", with the number of times after the verb. I suppose "You were correct once and a thousand times." is closer to the Lojban, since the tense is in its natural place in the Lojban sentence.
