Re: [lojban-beginners] Native lojbanic proverbs (lojbo prije jufra)

[Pierre Abbat <phma@phma.optus.nu>]

By "copy" you mean what? Some ideas are expressed in many languages in 
different words.

English has "Make hay while the sun shines" and "Beat the iron while it's 
hot". French and Russian have the latter, "Il faut battre le fer pendant qu'il 
est chaud" and "Куй железо пока горячо". In a space habitat, we could say "ei 
kavbu lo cmaplini ca lo nu lampagre".

For "six of one, half a dozen of the other", my Lojban version is "lo drata cu 
muvdu .ijo lo se drata cu klama fu zi'o".
