karibdo:In the second lesson of "La Zagreba metodo", the following sentence appears: "Mi nun kuiris ĝin". Can someone tell me, what does "nun" mean when used together with the past tense?I now have cooked it. /I've now cooked it/I've cooked it now/I've just finished cooking it etc.
Think of it in terms of 'now have (done something).'

Whether or not that's what's going on in your example I don't know, but the above may be useful to you anyway.

karibdo:Thanks for the replies! Is this the most common way of expressing the "just verbed" pattern? Are there other ways? Also, could someone point me to the grammar pages where these sorts of forms are explained?Well, the most common way I've seen is to use the word ĵus, as in "Mi ĵus kuiris ĝin". I'll leave your other questions to more competent esperantists .
