Higher-precedence Grouping with {bo} Is Impossible for TAG Sentence Connectives

nicty...@gmail.com (Jacob Errington) — Sun, 12 May 2013 01:37:42 UT

The title says it all; the following won't parse:

{.i broda .ija'ebo brode .iseri'abobo brodi}

Semantically, it should parse meaning that {.i brode .iseri'abo brodi} is
the right-hand operand of {.ija'ebo}.

On a related note, even-higher-precedence grouping with bo is not possible
for ijeks; the following won't parse:

An inquiry regarding LaTeX and the CLL

Hello everyone.

You probably know that there has been an effort to create a new CLL:

The project isn't going anywhere at the moment. Nobody is helping as far
as I know (I'd be glad to be wrong).

So here is a question:

Would there be more people capable and willing to help out if Robin

metricate, convert

p...@bezitopo.org (Pierre Abbat) — Sun, 05 May 2013 23:39:41 UT

"Convert to metric", in the sense of expressing a measurement in metric units
instead of the other units it was taken in, is "mrefanva fi lo treci'e". But to
convert one's operation to metric, or to metricate, how do you say that? Is it
just "co'a pilno lo treci'e", or is there another way to say it? What about

I think {le'o} and {ga'i} between them do what I want, depending on
situation.

Robin retry: noodle/pasta

rlpow...@digitalkingdom.org (Robin Lee Powell) — Sat, 04 May 2013 20:07:37 UT

So while I *emphatically* reject the "paste"/{pesxu} thing, Bob is
absolutely right that Lojban does not have to (and, indeed, should
not) divide the world in the same way as English. Therefore, I
propose:

grusko - round noodle

grusri - flat noodles

grubo'o - flat pasta, like lasagna and such

Meet me in Newark?

lindartheb...@gmail.com (la .lindar.) — Sat, 04 May 2013 07:51:08 UT

I travel for business periodically and will be in Newark as of the 9th. Is anybody free to hang out? I'll treat for lunch and can move around by train to get to Manhattan and the likes. R&J is a personal stop of mine, so I'm going to be in Manhattan anyway while I'm there. I'll even treat to a *nice* lunch if you can avoid using English.

Time-(non)local sumti (was: Mixing tenses, on the beginners list)

blindbrav...@gmail.com (Ian Johnson) — Thu, 02 May 2013 13:26:03 UT

That's not just the same issue, it's really the same thing, but phrased
more precisely: "that which was "me"". But when we say "I did something",
it's {mi pu ...}. This is the same {mi}, so {lo pu me mi ku} is just {mi}.
I started writing some about the philosophical/language design issues here

Who added the validateAmount javascript to the main site?

other people doing work.

Why is there no noodle gismu?

sela...@gmx.de (selpa'i) — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 16:59:31 UT

The title basically says it all. I would like to have a gismu for
"noodle", as noodles are everywhere! Please don't suggest {grusko};
noodles come in all shapes and needn't be made from {gurni}.

What do you call a fake noodle?

Someone pushing me to learn/practise Lojban

avalle...@gmail.com (Álvaro Vallejo) — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 23:17:18 UT

Well,
I've tried hard to do the task. I read twice LFB, once TCLL, I practiced a
lot with Memrise, I did assemble some bi-lingual translations, and tried to
memorize some short stories and read some of the posts in this group.
However, my proficiency in Lojban is still very modest.
But now I am loosing momentum... I quit Memrise for a couple of months and

Baby Words: "you're right" and orders.

rlpow...@digitalkingdom.org (Robin Lee Powell) — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 16:34:24 UT

1. How would you mark a {ko} that's an order? I use {e'o} for
requests. For "You must do this!" I've been using {ga'i}, but it's
a tad unsatisfying.

2. How would you say "that's right!" or "you're right!", i.e. when
the kid brings me the object I've asked for? I use {i'e} for lots
of situations like that, but that doesn't convey correctness
