Re: [lojban-beginners] Define "define"

[Luke Bergen <lukeabergen@gmail.com>]

I think a definition is more restricted than lo smuni.  I think that I can say something like {lo smuni be lo cukta} to talk about the moral of a book or what that book means in a social context.  A definition is something that describes what a word means in particular.

(Especially if the te smuni is carefully specified)  A definition is
nothing other than a commonly agreed about meaning of a word or phrase
or symbol.
