Question from new learner

I have recently come across this language and have started studying it. So = far, I really like it. But I have a question. If I say or write ‘Mi desira = es forti’ does this mean ‘I desire to be strong’ or ‘My desire is strong’? = If it can mean either, you need a way to determine which it means.

LFN, = like Glosa, does not use word endings to determine part of speech and ‘me’ = and ‘my’ are identical. When the meaning is ambiguous they solve the proble= m by putting la ‘the’ in front of me, ‘La me desira es forte.’ Which means = ‘my desire is strong’ while ‘Me desira es forte’ would mean ‘I desire to be= strong.’ I don’t really like this solution but it is a solution. Does Glo= sa have a way to deal with this?
