Re: [lojban] ridiculous propaganda posters

For this purpose you should use {lo} (using {le} here offers no benifits really. There're almost no practical cases where {le nu} is ever needed.)

{.e'a} (and by extension {.e'anai}) is what we call an "irrealis attitudinal". What that means is that it basically describes a non-real world. {.e'anai do go'i} by *itself* means "I'm not letting you do that," whereas {.e'anai mi na curmi lo nu do go'i} means "I'm not allowing it to not be the case that I allow you to do that," which sounds approximately as semantically wrong in English as it does in Lojban :p.

Otherwise the pictures are pretty good. The "style" is a bit weird, but that's simply due to being new.

I thought it might be fun to make some silly propaganda posters. My first thought was movie stills with translated quotes. Check 'em out:

I'm very new to Lojban; my vocabulary is very small as is my understanding, so no doubt there are errors. I welcome your feedback and corrections, hopefully I'm not too far off in the tall grass… :)

Thanks,
