Re: [lojban] Time for the perenial other-centric-.ui conversation



No, by definition. No idiom needed. Must I quote the definition of {pei} again?

"pei - CAI - emotion ? - attitudinal: attitudinal question; how do you feel about it? with what intensity?"
 
In the case of {.iepei}, the "it" is "agreement": {.iepei} = "how do you feel about agreement? with what intensity?" = "Do you agree, and with what intensity do you (dis)agree?"

Idiomatically, yes; literally, more like what I said.  And, as I have noted, idioms are anti-logical in the appropriate sense, since there is no mechanical rule to get them back to there logical form.

But whether 'iepei' is a legitimate question is not thereby decided; it means "Yes, innit"

 
No, it means, "Do you agree, and with what intensity do you (dis)agree?"
