That is just ridiculous. "Brrr" is onomatopoeia used to describe the sound a human occasionally makes when (s)he shivers because it's cold.

The fact that there isn't an onomatopoeia for it in Chinese language is a different matter. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lojban Beginners" group.
