Fixed. But now that I think about it, why is it not: {la .tokios. te sruma lo ka mutce tolckape tcadu} ?

How is se jai used here, and does it make it equivalent to {da sruma fe lo ka mutce tolckape tcadu ku fi la .tokios.} ?

Sorry, copy-pasted a suggestion on this sentence from a irc resident without checking it.

now i corrected your sentence.
{te sruma} would also be fine.

However, when you use {da} it changes the meaning:
da sruma fe lo ka mutce tolckape tcadu ku fi la .tokios. = THERE IS SOMEONE who thinks about Tokio that it is a very safe city.

This is not implied in the English sentence.
