coi ro do

Is this valid: "coi .i do sanji mo"?

I was looking up words on http://jbovlaste.lojban.org/ and there was no definition for "and" in English.

Is it a question about jbovlaste, i.e. that it is confusing in not providing lojban translations of english words?

or you jsut want to know how to say "and" in Lojban?

The first question is a well known limitation of jbovlaste in being mostly a Lojban to "another language" dictionary interface.

I'm solving this issue by providing an English to Lojban dictionary:

http://mw.lojban.org/papri/L17-04

As for "and" most often words for it are {ce} and {e}.

mi ce do casnu lo mlatu = I and you discuss cats (i.e. we discuss it with each other)

mi e do casnu lo mlatu = I and you discuss cats. I  other words, I discuss cats, and you discuss cats. Maybe, separately, i.e. with different people.

In some dialects instead of {ce} you may use {jo'u}, instead of {e} you may use {je}.

As for the most standard dialect of Lojban the CLL, chapter 14 logical connectives are explained in full.

I also got the following:

No definitions found for "thing"

because it has many meanings in English. {lo dacti} is "thing", an object. 

No definitions found for "something"

again {lo dacti}, or {da} or {zo'e}

 

No definitions found for "fun"
No definitions found for "solve"
No definitions found for "fix"
No definitions found for "hum"
No definitions found for "biped"
No definitions found for "fungi"
No definitions found for "fungus"
No definitions found for "mycelium"

I was wondering if anyone could fill these in for me.

well, okay. i will add them to my todo list.

 

Recently, jbovlaste has had a lot of connection problems when I try to connect (the lojban.org site itself, too). Currently I cannot connect to either. Is there a local app version of jbovlaste?
