Hi friends. I am new in lojban.
I wonder how to say "to make something better" in lojban. Can anybody
tell me?
There are at least six ways to say this, of which gleki only showed two:
(1) mi gasnu lo nu X zenba lo ka xamgu
"I bring about that X increases in goodness."
(2) mi gasnu lo nu X xagze'a
"I bring about that X improves."
(3) mi xagzengau X
"I improve X."
(4) gau mi X xagze'a
"Brought about by me, X improves."
(5) mi jai gau xagze'a fai X
"I am the cause of improvement of X."
(6) mi jai gau zenba fai X lo ka xamgu
"I am the cause of increase of X in goodness."
They all mean the same, and only differ in structure. It is a matter of personal preference, but (1-6) are all correct.
