I heard that lojban can use SOV order without any particles, so how can you interpret "mi klama zdani" as "I go to a home" and not "I am a home of something that goes"? How do you form adjectives? How do you include the objects of nouns? How can you tell when a compound phrase arnt just two words in different positions? How do you form adverbs? What are the logical and set operators, and how do they work semantically? When talking about something in the plural, is it by default considered to function as a set or as each thing? How do you specify the degree of a word? How do you talk about things like ownership and belongingship? How do you talk about physical relation and motion? Which mailinglist is good for newbies to practise lojban? ki'e mi'e aizek
