[lojban-beginners] An interesting sentence
Consider the following pairs of sentences:
Veinte nueve serpientes de Under fueron atraídas a mis ropas sucias.
I launder moreso since.
The Spanish (and correct/forgive me if I have messed it up, Xorxes) means,
"Under's 29 snakes were attracted to my dirty clothes". The meaning of the
second sentence, though, depends on whether it's English or lojban (which is
why I deliberately didn't use English for the first sentence, to avoid bias on
interpreting the second sentence (although I did inherently bias it by using
English-style punctuation and spacing)). But in either case, the second
sentence logically follows the first.
--gejyspa, being silly.
