[lojban-beginners] What's up?



coi rodo

Something just occurred to me about Lojban's variegated question words.  I mean, I've thought about it for some time, but a possible use for what I've been thinking of just struck me.  Anyway.  Ever since I read the Lojban for Beginners lesson on question words, {ma mo ma} has been in my head, just kind of floating around.  The only use I could think of for it was a general "HUH?!?" kind of _expression_.  But it just occurred to me that that'd be a great way to say, "What's up?" "What's going on?" and the like.  Does anyone out there agree?  Can you think of any other uses for {ma mo ma}, or other ways to say "How goes it?"  I'll be glad to hear what you think.
