[lojban-beginners] Re: "nevermind"

["Luke Bergen" <lukeabergen@gmail.com>]

thanks, that's about what I was looking for.  Is there currently a list of commonly used phrases somewhere?  It would be helpful to have a nice long list of regular every-day phrases that get used a lot.  For instance:

hello, how are you?
what time is it?
I am hungry
where is x?
how much is x?
why did you do x?
how did you do x?
etc...

I had a thought earlier today.  How would someone say "nevermind" in lojban?

As in the following:

bob: "did you pick up the milk?"
alice: "what did you say?"
bob (having found it): "nevermind?"

I suggest {su}.  It means "erase to beginning of discourse"; or, more colloquially, "forget the whole thing".
