You don= 't need the coi there, unless you meant to say "Thanks and hello, aionys an= d 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.

lo si'o ciska
lo ro fa'orma'o cu
xanri fu'inai

The concept of writing
every terminator
is diffi= cult to imagine

Okay, first, I literally la= ughed when I read this one.

A note though: 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 difficult to imagine, but ra= ther that you specifically have a difficult attitude towards imagining it. = This is difficult to explain since we don't have an equivalent word in Engl= ish.

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

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

Firstly, for= anyone who's interested in Haiku in general, there's a huge amount of (Eng= lish) Haiku at http://w= ww.haiku.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 t= hat it's in three lines; a line of 5 syllables, a line of 7 syllables, and = a final line of 5 syllables.

Lojban seems to me to be a language esp= ecially suited to haiku, so I imagine this APE will be especially fun one.<= br>
I made the effort of making both the English translation and the Lojban= be haiku, but the rest of you don't have to if the English is diffic= ult to fit into haiku:

co'a lo vensa
lo cifxrula ba banro
ja'e lo nunmle

when the spring begins
the flower buds will blosso= m
and so comes beauty
