Re: [lojban-beginners] rafsi for "mi"



That seems legit.  But since there isn't an x1 it doesn't make any sense to talk about {lo mibypamdoi} since there is no x1.  So it does still kind of feel silly.  I guess I could see it being used as a playful word that a couple might make up and use from time to time as a kind of intimate inside joke or something.

The predicate I-love-you(X) has unfilled modal places, though, right?

{mibypamdoi mu'i lo du'u do xendo} is perfectly sensical?

  Well, not so much, because "lo broda" means "that (or those) which can fill the x1 spot of "x1 broda" "  If the x1 space is already filled, yes, it is possible to fill it again, ("mi klama la bastn fa lo speni be mi" is possible, and is probably best construed as "mi jo'u lo speni be mi klama la bastn.")  But generally x1s of lujvo should not come pre-filled.  A predicate of a I-love-you(X) doesn't really make any sense.  OTOH, a predicate of loves-you(X) DOES, so "pamdoi" would be a much more legitimate lujvo to have.

{lo mibypamdoi} could be short for {mi noi ke'a prami do}.

  A much more important question is WHY would you want to make a lujvo of "mi prami do"?  You have filled up all the argument places, so basically you don't have a brivla woth anything any more.

I just tried creating complex lujvo and found that I can't transform the simplest phrase "mi prami do" into a lujvo.
I can do that with "do prami mi" (I get "mibdonpa'i") but what about "mi" ?
