Favourite questions



Slashdot had a poll entitled "Favorite question?"[1]. It featured the
questions "Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? Favorite Question? What would
CowboyNeal[2] do?". Someone decided to translate those into Chinese, and
various translations into languages such as Danish, Finnish, and Old English
followed[3]. I thought I'd try to translate them into Lojban in order to
post them to the board after having them corrected.

Suggestions and corrections welcome.

(The first few are straight from the ma'oste)
Who? {ma}
What? {ma} -- obviously no difference from "Who?".
When? {ca ma}
Where? {vi ma}
Why? {ki'u ma}
How? {ta'i ma}
Favorite Question? {ma preti co rairselnei be do}
What would CowboyNeal Do? -- No idea. Something with {la kauboinil. mo}, I
suppose? I don't know how to express "what would he do [if here were in this
situation]" at all.
