[lojban-beginners] Re: Class--and non-gismu vocab in general

[Luke Bergen <lukeabergen@gmail.com>]

1) You could try a lujvo like {nuncu'e} or {nunselctu}, or something similar for class.  Then it would be {mi klama lo nunselctu .i co'o}

2) jbovlaste.lojban.org is a good source for word definitions.

3) I guess it would depend on what you mean by "trippy".  Maybe some lujvo with {cizra} in it some where?  Or you might be able to do it with an attitudinal like {.u'e .uanai ro'e} or something.  There are others who could do a better job of making a good attitudinal blend for "trippy".

Any ideas about how a university student might say:
"I'm going to class now, bye."
I know how to say everything but "class", and I can't think of a very
efficient way to even get that into "Lojbanic English", much less into
Lojban itself.

In general, I'm also curious about where I might go to get ideas about
vocab that can't be attained straight from a gismu list. This is
probably a much more difficult example, but it popped up today as
well: "trippy." I again have no idea even where to start with
translating that concept.
