(which, as I >understand it, means, "I love Lojban.") I'm not sure Lojban {prami} has the meaning of "really like" that English "love" has. I think {prami} is more for emotional love, but I may be wrong. >and you want to say, in >Lojban, "I love Lojban too." How can you do it? mi ji'a prami la lojban I (in addition to you) love Lojban. Notice that the position of {ji'a} is important. In other positions it has other meanings: i mi prami ji'a la lojban I love Lojban (in addition to other relations between me and Lojban, foe example, I study Lojban and I love it too). i mi prami la lojban ji'a I love Lojban too (in addition to loving other things). i ji'a mi prami la lojban In addition to other things stated, I love Lojban. All of them could be translated as "I love Lojban too" with suitable pronunciation. co'o mi'e xorxes ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
