I now fear that a translation of this phrase will be as huge as > King-Kong himself :) The hard concepts are "budget" and "inflation". A budget is a plan to pay something, so {lejyselpla}. Inflation is a decrease in the value of money, but you'd have to adjust even if it increased, so it's a variation in the value of money, {dinvamtercne}. So {ko'a brarai lo dinvamtercne nalselstika lejyselpla lo'i skina} (or is it {...fo lo'i skina}?). Not so big after all. Btw, {kong} means that the "g" is pronounced. If it isn't, it's {kon}. phma To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
