[I wrote a nice long bit of the conditions of {mi nelci lo mlatu} being
false, but Lee got there first.]

However, now I have a questing.

If you negate "I like some cats," then you have the absence of liking
any of them.

If you wanted to say that there are some cats you don't like, then you
should say that liking them all is false. [And this is where my
inexperience with lojban comes in.]

 mi na nelci ro mlatu
 I [false] like all of the cats.
 I dislike some cats.

How's that for my not liking some of the cats?
