[lojban-beginners] Re: Place structure vs. grammatical morphemes

[Lindar <lindarthebard@gmail.com>]

It's just your perspective on language. Just imagine that you grew up speaking Lojban and you're looking at English. What's the purpose of "to" when it's intrinsic to the word itself anyway? I imagine a Lojban native would have trouble understanding "to" or "from". You're still thinking terms of your native language, so to you "implies 'to' already" is bad thinking. It's more like a function and less like a 'shortcut' to an English phrase.

So, in short, stop trying to relate it to English.

It's not a shortcut and it doesn't imply anything.

It's a language on its own. <3
