You don't need the coi there, unless you meant to say "Thanks a= nd hello, aionys and tsani", of course.

I had forgotten that you only need the pauses before and after for cmene.Also I decided to write another because this is a fun/good way to learn/p= ractice some Lojban.

The concept of writing

is d= ifficult to imagine

Okay, first, I li= terally laughed when I read this one.

A note thoug= h: fu'inai is an attitudinal, which means you have that attitude about = whatever it is attaching to. So, you're not saying that it's diffic= ult to imagine, but rather that you specifically have a difficult attitude = towards imagining it. This is difficult to explain since we don't have = an equivalent word in English.

Okay, so I'll try with one we do have a word for: {= do gleki.iu} is "You're happy [Happiness!]", or more long win= ded, "You're happy [<-- I'm happy about this]".

And I just now realized I'd dysl= exia-fied .ui

.iu is love, .ui is happiness. Sorry= for the confusion, everyone.

I'd suggest {narfrili xanri} if you meant the former.

Firstly, for anyone who&#= 39;s interested in Haiku in general, there's a huge amount of (English)= Haiku at http://www.ha= iku.com/

So, this week's APE is to write a haiku in Lojban.

Haiku are normally about nature, but all we're going to care about = is that it's in three lines; a line of 5 syllables, a line of 7 syllabl= es, and a final line of 5 syllables.

Lojban seems to me to be a lang= uage especially suited to haiku, so I imagine this APE will be especially f= un one.

I made the effort of making both the English translation and the Lojban= be haiku,=A0 but the rest of you don't have to if the English is diffi= cult to fit into haiku:

and so comes beauty
