By "copy" you mean what? Some ideas are expressed in many languages in=20
different words.

English has "Make hay while the sun shines" and "Beat the iron while it's=
=20
hot". French and Russian have the latter, "Il faut battre le fer pendant qu=
'il=20
est chaud" and "=D0=9A=D1=83=D0=B9 =D0=B6=D0=B5=D0=BB=D0=B5=D0=B7=D0=BE =D0=
=BF=D0=BE=D0=BA=D0=B0 =D0=B3=D0=BE=D1=80=D1=8F=D1=87=D0=BE". In a space hab=
itat, we could say "ei=20
kavbu lo cmaplini ca lo nu lampagre".

For "six of one, half a dozen of the other", my Lojban version is "lo drata=
 cu=20
muvdu .ijo lo se drata cu klama fu zi'o".
