Fwd: Lojban

[Michael Turniansky]

  My daughter made me this shirt for Father's Day.  Well, she tried, but it's hard when you're nine, and all you have to work with is an online lojban dictionary.  Here's what it says, and what she intended it to mean:

LOJBAN :lojban

RA'I MEDOMOI CITRAI  : From your youngest.

do xagrai patfe nenri munje: You're the best father in the world. ("patfe" was a miscopy of patfu)

1 zilkancu : Number 1.

do zbasu memimoi veltcika : You make my day. 

   (okay, everybody all together now -- Awwwww.....)

That's very sweet of her.

{i'o} is glossed as "appreciation"; "aww" in my idiolect means something more like {citmle ze'ei .ui} with some {.ui} and {.u'i} thrown in sometimes. Come to think of it, I often use "aww" as to remark on cuteness, so maybe {citmle} does the job of my "aww"

And in case I haven't said it enough,

Awwww.

  BTW, her question to me upon presenting it to me was "Why are so many words for 'best'?"
