[lojban-beginners] conversational words for 'concerning' and 'peace'(as referring to a silence in a conversation.)



I know very little lojban. But I already think in it to some degree.  I find myself saying doi in conversation after having failed to find an English word for well doi. I have found 2 other concepts, to date. which I struggle to say in English, I was wondering if lojban has the solution.  Here is what I would like to say.

when I am in an IRC conversation involving multiple subjects and even multiple people. I would like a doi, not only for the various people but also for the various subjects. I want to say doi djankac's question .i {the answer}.  I do not think doi is appropriate here. because others are following the discussion too. many times. two people will be asking the same question. I don't want to cull away the audience with doi! What word should I use?

Another word I find myself wanting, especially in conversations with a certainty female whom I hope to gain the favor of... is a word to signify a peace and quite in a conversation.  something that I can say that means "I am at peace and have nothing more to say" I do not want a long utterance like that though.  I want a once syllable word that can be said quietly so only one can hear...
