[lojban] best translation I've seen on jboselkei
The best translation award goes to komfoamonan for {ju'o cu'i do ca ro re'u
nu'o co'e}, translation of "This may be your last chance". Here's Matt
Arnold's comment:
This is elegantly imaginative and minimalist, and means exactly what it should
mean, but there is not even one root word in the entire sentence. Only
interjections, tenses, pronouns, and truth aspects. It is imaginitavely
Lojbanic, taking advantage of the language's peculiarities, because none of
the words mean "this", "may", "be", "your", "last", or "chance." I'm
impressed.
