Here are some examples of a strange language called lojban (pronounced LOHZ-bahn). Note that one of the examples has a deliberate mistake: mi cu tavla do I talk to you mi cu tavla do ti I talk to you about this_thing_here_at_which_I_point mi cu tavla do ta I talk to you about that_thing_there_at_which_I_point mi cu tavla do le cukta I talk to you about the book mi cu tavla do le zarci I talk to you about the market le zarci cu barda The market is big mi pu viska I see mi pupu tcidu I had read (something!) do ba tavla fi le zarci You will speak about the market mi puzi cadzu I have just walked do pu klama le zarci You went to the market ta cu blanu zdani That is a blue house la lojban cu cizra The thing called lojban is weird Try to work out how to say: I will soon walk I was about to talk to you This is big That is the market I will go to the market I saw the blue book I will read the blue book ---- We did some other stuff on logic the next day. Then the follow-up question that let me talk about the connection was this one: There are some cards that have a colour on one side and a shape on the other. Laid out on the table in front of you are four of them showing: Red Green Square Triangle Which ones must you turn ove in order to answer the question: Does every red card have a square on the other side? Is the SWH is true then lojban speakers should have an advantage on this one.
