Re: [lojban-beginners] Re: [lojban] [lojban-announcements] Request For Help; non-urgent research request to help Lojban.



hmm, wouldn't {.e'o morji ko} be "[request] be remembered"?  The {ko} fills the x2 of morji since it comes afterwards right?

Ah, I meant { .e'o morji ko }, after giving up on figuring out
something like "bump/nudge," in the sense of "don't forget about this
thread."

I guess I'm uncertain if { ju'i } can be used for this, or if it means
more like 'listen up/pay attention/watch out'
And I feel like using { re'i } might be applicable here (as in "ready
for you to follow up"), but not in general.
Perhaps a lone { ba'e } is the way to go?

In chinese, a number of attitudinals have particle counterparts, for
example 吧 corresponds with { .e'u }. However, one particle that
Chinese has that lojban doesn't seem to is 'make note/don't forget.'
In chinese it's 哦/噢 and it's used pretty commonly-- perhaps best
characterized by caring parent-like expressions; i.e. "You'd better
bundle up 哦."

I'd imagine that if we had a "reminder" cmavo, putting a nai on it
would mean something like "forget about it/never mind," another pretty
common phrase... how do we say these things in Lojbanistan?
