Dyke" X-Yahoo-Group-Post: member; u=81437350 X-Yahoo-Profile: gregvdyke I'm not sure what the import of this post is, but here goes : In German, people do not say "I am cold" or "I am well", with "I" in the nominative (subject), but "mir ist kalt/gut", in the dative. This is because lojban is not the first language to include standards ; we would probably say {xamgu mi} and {lenku tu'a mi). Comments?
