How about:
L1 { lo djacu ku dunja lo jacke'o be li no vau ja'a xu }
In my human language studies, i've found lots of langauges tend to do something like this:
G1 Are you going? => I don't know if you're going, tell me if it's true.
G2 Aren't you going => I thought you were going, confirm this is true.
But part of me thinks its malremnybangu to assume that { xu na } should carry a connotation of prior bias to one truth value or another. That is, there should be no real difference when I ask the following:
L2 { xu do klama } = Are you going? Yes/No
L3 { xu do na klama } = Are you going? No/Yes (or: Are you not going? Yes/No)
After all, imagining the proper intonation, both of the following English sentences could have a strong bias (they imply that the listener is confirming, not informing):
G3 "You
are going, aren't you?" or "You
are going, right?"
G4 "You aren't going, are you?" or "You're not going, right?"
...so how should I ask sentences G3 and G4 above in Lojban? mi djica lo nu djuno .au
Is it { ja'a }? Is it an other-centric UI ? zo'o
