Well, we use "know" differently, then.

(1) You have two children, but John knows that you really have only one.

(2) You know that the animal Avgust dreamed about is a fish.

I find (1) highly abnormal and (2) quite normal. I'm not sure whether
you agree with that evaluation of the _English_ sentences. Sometimes
you seem to agree and sometimes disagree. As for these:

(a) do rirni re da i ku'i la djan djuno le du'u do ca'a rirni pa da

(b) do djuno le du'u le danlu poi la avgust pu senva cu finpe

I again find (b) normal and (a) very strange. You say that (a) is acceptable
and (b) is not. So we definitely understand {djuno} differently.
