[lojban-beginners] Re: Politics



3. political affairs: The advocated reforms have become embroiled in politics.

You suggest {jecyra'a} for this one - but I'm not sure why. {ra'a} is the rafsi for {srana} which means 'pertains/concerns'???

 I don't know. I just thought "affairs" meant "matters of concern". My vocabulary isn't too good. I just thought the example sentence would sound good as " le se stidi gafsi'o cu se lujgau loi jecra'a"?

8. play politics.
a. to engage in political intrigue, take advantage of a political situation or issue, resort to partisan politics, etc.; exploit a political system or political relationships.
b. to deal with people in an opportunistic, manipulative, or devious way, as for job advancement.

These two are the ones that I was particularly interested in. Any suggestions?

Hmm... I'm not quite sure. ticyjikca (deceptively socialize)? I'm not sure that's quite right. ju'ocu'isai
