The only slang I can think of are intentional word-for-word translations of natlang expressions, which are hilarious in Lojban, because it gets at the true interpretation. Other than that, there's intentional misuse of certain words, like {je'a} which I (and some others) use alone to mean something like a cross between {ie} and {go'i}. mu'o mi'e la tsani On 3 July 2012 20:37, azuriss wrote: > What about older terms like "fresh" or "funky"? :) My dad came up with those > because he doesn't really see how a language could work without slang. > > > On Tuesday, July 3, 2012 8:21:02 PM UTC-4, azuriss wrote: >> >> How do inflections of the voice affect the meaning of a lojban sentence? >> And how would you express slang words? > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Lojban Beginners" group. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/lojban-beginners/-/MJ78MAut7yMJ. > > To post to this group, send email to lojban-beginners@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > lojban-beginners+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/lojban-beginners?hl=en. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lojban Beginners" group.
