Re: [lojban-beginners] Easy, medium, difficult

Are these translations correct (in the context of describing the difficulty of a task)?


easy = frili

medium = cnano

difficult = nandu

it's a scale. {no'e frili} or {no'e nandu} would mean "medium in difficulty".
{cnano} means "to be normal, average" not necessarily in difficulty but you can also say
{cnano lo ka nandu} - "normal in its difficulty" or {cnano lo ka frili} - "normal in its easiness", not exactly what "medium" means.



In jbovlaste, "medium" also didn't have the definition I hoped for. Eventually I tried "average" and I think "cnano" is what I was looking for, so perhaps it could also be linked to the English word "medium".


Is scalar modification preferred?

i'd say so.
 

Thanks
