Re: [lojban] Re: Technical, Help Request: What information *should* a Lojban dictionary system have?

[Remo Dentato <rdentato@gmail.com>]

I would suggest to not put too much work on specifing the se- te- etc
words. I fear that having a fixed sense for, say, "terdunda" would be
misleading for newbies and useless for those more knoledgeable. The
right way to translate the "places" of a brivla highly depend on the
context.

I'm convinced that we should insist on making people understanding the
place structure and use their creativity to find the right way to
translate it in their language rather than suggest them that there is
a *right* translation for that place.

I tried to do this for Italian when I started learning language and
pretty soon decided that it would have been a waste of my (and other
Italians) time try to find all possibile meaning for gismu places.

just my 2c
