[lojban-beginners] Re: I'm... My name's...

[m.kornig@sondal.net]

Maybe a summary is useful here. I've learned
the following:

"What's your name?"
  {ma cmene do} or {doi ma}

"I'm Tim." or "My name's Tim."
  {zo tim cmene mi} or {mi'e tim}

"Your are Jane." or "Your name is Jane."
  {zo djein cmene do} {doi djein}

"What's his name?" or "What's her name?" (pointing at someone)
  {ma cmene ta}

"What's my name?"
  {ma cmene mi} or {mi'e ma}

"I'm Tim and this is Jane." (pointing at Jane)
  {zo tim cmene mi i zo djein cmene ti} or {mi'e tim i zo djein cmene ti}

In the examples with {cmene} I stick to the
default place order to keep it simple. I've
also used "bare" names instead of quoted names
where possible.

Could an experienced Lojban speaker please
check/confirm?
