I posted my Lojban attempt on #ckule yesterday:

	.za'a lo bangu cu tolxregau ma'a.i
	.ja'o lo nu remna cu gumgau ma'a.i
	.ei ma'a cilre ma'a

Could someone correct it? I was trying to say the following:

	(I observe that) language separates you and me.
	(I deduce that) humanity unites you and me.
	We must learn one another.

I am doubtful that my Lojban is correct (especially the last sentence). I used some vocabulary I found on jbovlaste but there's probably better words?

deltab thought my attempt reads as "You know, languages unmix us. Therefore, being human aggregates us. We have to learn us."  

Does "ja'o" definitely translate to "therefore"? Because I wasn't intending on using it to link the two sentences.

A few more questions:

- How does one say "Does that make any sense?" in Lojban?
- How does one say "How does one say (English) in Lojban?" in Lojban? 

Thanks
