Re: [lojban-beginners] "and" question

[Ross Ogilvie <oges007@gmail.com>]

According to jbovlaste, the fraction slash { fi'u } by itself means the golden ratio, commonly denoted phi, and when used as { fi'u x } is shorthand for { pa fi'u x }. So then li fi'u vu'u fi'u fi'u is phi - 1/phi which does in fact equal one.

Where this convention comes from though, I don't know.

That means "Before me, goes to a store." You mean "puku mi klama lo zarci"
or "mi pu klama lo zarci".

The right way to imply that they are related is ".ibo", but I usually just
say ".i", which happens to sound like the word for "and" in both Spanish and
Russian. "mi'a klama le zarci .ibo la salis. terve'u lo finpe"
