Even if Tatoeba includes many wrong translations, it is still a nice<= br> tool for learning Lojban. I often read phrases translated by jbocre (I
know some specific ones on Tatoeba), and sometimes find lojbanically
inspired expressions that please me. Sometimes even jbocre make a
mistake, but finding mistakes is also a good training. I profit from
it to remember the correct expressions. I don't recommend Tatoeba to
beginners, but to advanced learners who want to practice thinking
lojbanically.

OK, I will continue improving the phrasebook when I have time.<= br>
For today, I corrected some Lojban phrases in the "age talk" category
of the phrasebook.
The dialog I've picked up for the example of "malglico" was corrected
as follows:
{do pu jmive ze'a lo nanca be li xo --- repa / mi pu jmive ze'a lo
nanca be li repa}
Many other expressions are possible for the same scene, but I think this one is the most reasonable from a neutral, scientific and
practical point of view. To apply the phrase to the age of jmive like
babies, pet animals, bacteria etc., simply replace {nanca} to any
other time unit {masti}, {jeftu}, {djedi}, {cacra}, {mentu}, {snidu}.
