{ .i'e ui xamgu gunka }

i saw this posted in the lojban list today, and interpreted it like
any good anglophone would: "Good work!"

upon reflection, i think that "a good kind of work" doesn't really
capture the praise of the phrase;
after all, a high-ranking government job may be good work, or
humanitarian work, etc.

I think what we want to say is "you've done a good job" meaning "you
performed well" or "good results"

are these what i mean?
{ xamgu se snada }
{ xamgu te snada }

and, is there anything different in
{ xamgu selsnada }
{ xamgu telsnada }

and, how about this attitudinal cocktail; "i empathize with your
happiness and effort"

...and since familiarization with more gismu, I think I've chosen a
new gismu lojbo cmene to sign posts with.
