Re: [lojban] despite ...

I've used {mu'inai} in the past because I interpret it as: mi nelci do <I'm not motivated to do so by> lo nu do maljikca

It's a bit vaguer, but I think it still carries the meaning via implication.  "I like you, but I'm not motivated to it because of your bad manners".

I was afraid so.

You used it with the other order in the witch comic translation
though, right? Or did I misinterpret what you meant there?

The actual parse is "to'e (mu'i nai)", so you would just have to
accept that the oposite of "not motivated by" is "not demotivated by".

But that seems to me easier to accept than just "nai" turning
"motivated by" into "not demotivated by".
