How come my thread has been hijacked for discussion of various nonlojbanicculture ideas?? That's the same merry-go-round we've been on for years. I quoted Lindar because I do like his ideas, I think it'd be great if we could have a "sladei", sounds like a fun day, but unfortunately people would indeed assume it was Saturday. What I'm suggesting we think of is NEW ideas! We just think of 7 different fun things to do, and assign them randomly to days of the week. For instance za'e "dutydei" (dukti zei djedi, opposite+day) could be a day where you have fun doing things the opposite of how you'd usually do them. (In my merko culture there's an idea of Opposite Day, but it seems to happen randomly and isn't associated with any day of the week.) Or za'e "badnydei" (badna zei djedi, banana+day) could be a day for eating bananas (and dressing up like bananas and making silly shoops of talking bananas). We could have a za'e "dridei" (badri zei djedi, sad+day) for being sad and a za'e "geidje" (gleki zei djedi, happy+day) for being happy. Perhaps a za'e "pemdei" (pemci zei djedi, poem+day) for reading and writing Lojbanic poetry. Or how about a za'e "raftadydei" (rafsi zei tadni zei djedi, rafsi+study+day) where we all study our rafsi. That's my idea is that it would be easy to learn the weekday names because we'd be doing something together on them. You'd remember that whichever day is pemdei, because every pemdei there'd be lots of new Lojbanic poetry and people quoting and reciting old poems. You'd remember what day is raftadydei because every raftadydei people would be quizzing each other on rafsi. I think it's an opportunity to make Lojbanistan a more creative and engaging space. I think we'd have a lot more fun on badnydei talking about bananas and telling the nintadni it's banana-day than we will having another discussion about why numbered days are good/bad, or why the element day names are good/bad and how to remember them. Doesn't anyone like my idea? :) mi'e la stela selckiku mu'o -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
