I'm not sure which one of my examples you're asking about here. If
you are talking about the first one ("ko bajra sepa'a
lo selje'i be lo tirxu") I took out the second you. On the other
hand, I suppose I can put it back in like this:
ko bajra sepa'a lo nu da'i selje'i lo tirxu. That being said, I kinda
like the teta'i better, since it's already a "under conditions of
using method" place.
