Re: [lojban-beginners] Talking to a computer.



And not saying the moi that shouldn't be there saves another one! :)

It's probably just me, but that feels backwards. I'm not saying it's wrong, it just feels, um, well, backwards. Kind of like passive case in English feels backwards?

How about this: 

doi skami lenu ko jmina li re li re cu rapli li paremoi

if you use gaimoi instead of paremoi you save another character :-)

Yeah, I probably could forego the entire gi'e portion. It's still a really long thing to say even without that, though.

*starts to pull apart the sentence you gave*

Oh wait, now I get it...  hmmm.

I know this is skips over the scope of what you're asking, but if I told the computer to "add 2+2 twelve times", I would expect it to know that I want feedback on the results of doing that.  I wouldn't expect to have to tell it explicitly that I want the results on the screen - maybe there would be a setting in my program where I can indicate my preference to have responses printed on the screen (as opposed to having them spoken, or whatever).  I think this is called thread-jacking though, so I'm going to shut up and go to bed now :-)

Regards,
Johan

Sounds like you're 1/200th of the way there to a lojbanic scripting language =p

Let's pretend for the moment that it is possible to talk to a computer in Lojban and be understood by it as a jbopre would understand.

Let us further pretend that we want to test this computer's responsiveness. Say, add "2+2" 12 times and print the results on the monitor.

I came up wuth: {doi skami ko rapygau lonu makau sumji li re li re kei li gai gi'e ciska lo jalge be la'edi'u lo vi vidni}.

Comments/suggestions?
