Re: [lojban-beginners] A few more sentences



#1: tirna would be fine, but this is OK.

#2: Good.

#3: As with several of these you could really use the actual simxu structure, for instance {.i .au mi'o simxu lo ka [ce'u ce'u] ctuca}.

#4: Similar to 3, {.i mi'o kakne lo ka [ce'u] simxu lo ka [ce'u ce'u] xamgu}

#5: Seems OK, the original line isn't very clear of course.

#6: That is not what smuni3 is about: smuni3 is about who decides what the smuni1 of a certain smuni2 is. Here you want {jimpe} or similar.

#7: That's OK but it's clunky. I don't see why not to just write, say, {.i na mutce frica fa mi do} or similar.

#8: It depends a little bit on in what respect you are sharing it. One way would be {.i mi'o kakne lo ka [ce'u] dunli lo ka [ma kau] zdani [ce'u]}, which means "We can reside in the same home."

#9: I think this is hard, but I don't think you've really achieved it. I'm not sure I can help with it.

I am working on a piece for flute quartet and I'm using a few Lojban phrases. The following are a few that I'm thinking about using and I would be most grateful if you would like to correct them and propose better translations.

Listen to us!
.i ko zgatirna mi

See us!
.i ko viska mi

Let us share our knowledge.
.i .au mi'o simxu dunda lo selju'o pe mi'o

We could mutually benefit one another (hard to translate from Swedish "Vi kan ha mycket glädje av varandra")
.i .au mi'o ba simxu rinka lo so'i xamgu

Collaboration.
.i mi'o kansi'u

Let us understand eachother.
.i .e'o .au mi'o simxu tersmu

We are not so different, you and me.
.i na'e frica fa do fe mi

We can share this place.
.i .au lonu mi'o xabju lo mintu stuzi cu cumki

This place where you are you, I am I and we are we.
.i le stuzi bu'u ku noi do backi do zi'e noi mi backi mi zi'e mi'o backi mi'o

di'ai mu'o
