A bit of a mouthful, if you'll forgive the pun! {pe'i} a shorter, if less precise, lujvo is needed here. "Gay" is of course used as a gloss for {gleki} but it would definitely be unacceptable culture-specific metaphor to use {gleki} in lujvo-making here. > > > 2. heterosexual ("straight") Again from the lujvo list, {datpavycinglepre} and {datpavypampre}. > > > 3. bisexual similarly, {relcinglepre}, {relcinpampre} > > > 4. angst You'd need to be more specific - is the colloquial "teenage angst" phenomenon, or "angst" as used by Keirkegaard, or Sartre or who? > > 5. alternative (culture) I quite like {selcu'aklu} - "chosen culture" - since I think this is the essence of the incredibly vague idea of "alternative culture". > > > 6. teenage boy > > 7. teenage girl > We had some discussion of "teenage" some time back. The problem is that the idea of "teenager" is so culture-specific. co'o mi'e robin.
