I have another relevant question. Is the following translations of
Esperanto correct?

dudek du super kvin
rere fi'u mu

"rere fi'u mu" means 22 divided by 5.
Do you mean by "super" the binomial coefficient? If yes, it reads in Esperanto "n sur k".

No idea how to say that in lojban :)


kvinono de tio
fi'u mu ti

"fi'u mu" means 1/5, having no connection to the following "ti" without further context. "ti fi'u mu" should be correct, but there may be a way to say it with the "ti" pushed behind.


dudek du da kvinono de tio
rere fi'u mu ti

That doesn't seem to make sense in Esperanto. After "da" follows a plural, if it relates to countable things, otherwise it has to be something measurable e.g. in kilograms, litres, or at least some abstract property.

Hope I got the lojban bits about right, I'm a junior here myself ;)

If unsure about anything Esperanto, I recommend the forums on lernu.net.

mu'o mi'e feliks.
