Re: [lojban-beginners] What can you do with Lojban that you can't do with English?



Hmm, well I think that with Lojban, things  can be made more clearly, the letter-to-sound rules are consistant, so that if you know how Lojban's rules of letter-to-sound rules work, you can just listen to something and know how it sounds, which means that you don't have to ask how things are spelled. I am very new to Lojban, so if I have something wrong please correct me. And, even though there are few Lojban text-to-speech engines, E-speak is the only one I know of that has Lojban, but if there were more, I would suspect that it would be very simple to create, since Lojban's rules of speech are quite simple compared to English. Oh and for anyone that has an iOS device, there is a Lojban dictionary available. Hmm, I wonder if there are any Lojban Zello/LoudTalks channels? If not I will create one. Zello is a service like teamtalk and Ventrillo, it is for Android, iOS, PC and lots of other systems.

Lojban makes explicit who hit whom.

Do you spit blue?

We have red chickens and cows.
Are the cows red?

Bill and Jeff went to the store.
Did they go together?

It's implicit in English and explicit in Lojban. Also the grammar is predicate based.
