Let's try to have a nice simple bilingual conversation, i.e. we

I immediately thought of http://www.gwaihir.org/fun/school.english

I've started a cleaned transcript of the conversation there : http://www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/users/YannLeDu/lojban_conversation.html

I hope many will contribute !

.uu xu do ponse lo karce

[sympathy] Do you have a car?

go'i .i ku'i mi nelci lo nu se sorprekarce kei mu'i lo nu mi kakne
lo nu tcidu

Yes, but I like being a bus passenger because I can read.


I assume that the x2 of sorprekarce, which I am being lazy and not
putting in jbovlaste, would be the same as the x2 of karce.

I used http://www.lojban.org/jboski/index.php and it says "car engine". So how can we write "bus passenger" ?
