Re: [lojban] Re: Lojbanic equivalent for Italian ciao



"coinai" was from the recent Lojban video that was linked to, and I questioned this term. Whether "coinai" is a valid word, it shouldn't be synonymous with "co'o", which is 'goodbye'.

Someone asked what the attitudinal equivalent of a "fist bump" is. That long string is what I take a "fist bump" to mean.

Also, where do you get that coinai means goodbye? co'o means goodbye. I'm not aware it saying anywhere that cmavo of COI can be modified by NAI. Could you link the relevant passage?

Huh, maybe we're taking this too far. Consider that {coi} means hello, and that {coinai} means goodbye, what does {coicu'i} mean?
Also, of course, that attitudinal string doesn't *necessarily* constitute a greeting or a parting, but in the context of coming across someone on the street as well as the context of a meeting coming to an end, I think that I might interpret it that way.

Also, it's so awfully long that no one would ever conceivably use it.

I suppose ro'a works as well, but {.io.i'e.o'ero'aga'icu'i) is definitely not a "generic" greeting, having both a very specific meaning and being applicable as a parting.

Why emotional? Isn't social, {ro'a}, more appropriate?

io o'ero'a ga'icu'i -> generic greeting

Lojban doesn't seem to have a politeness UI, so I'm co-opting .o'e [closeness - distance] in combination with ro'i [emotional]:

.o'ero'i - emotional closeness - friends - informal
.o'ecu'iro'i - emotionally neutral - strangers - polite
.o'enairo'i - emotional distance - superiors - formal

Okay, I meant, what combination of attitudinal cmavo are the equivalent of a fist bump?

Perhaps a simple ".io", optionally accompanied by a fist bump?

The Italians say ciao both when they greet each other and when they wanna say goodbye.

So is there any word that has two meanings, 
either {coi} or {co'o} depending on context ?
