So I've heard people say in the past "lojban is vague, but it is not ambiguous". But what is the difference exactly?
"John and Jim played a game. He lost". I've heard this example used to explain how english is "ambiguous". But how is this different from {la djan joi la djim kelci lo lo nunkei .i ra toljinga} which I guess is "ambiguous"?
