== Lojbanistani Culture ==

The culture of [[Lojbanistan|Lojbanistan]].

In [[Lojban]]: lojbo kulnu or jboklu

* um.  "lojbo" is a culture word.  "lojbo kulnu" is redundant.  -jrd
** It's also a language/nationality/community word. IMO '''lojbo kulnu''' picks out one of those meanings and is clearer/more specific than '''lojbo''' alone. Or how about '''lojbo le ka ce'u kulnu''', in the spirit of [[Simple phrases|the phrasebook]]? Or '''kulnu (be) loi lojbo'''? -pne

xu ti poi ke'a papri ku'o cu sa'u -- Hope this means what I want it to mean. ;)

'''sa'u is not a selbri, so we don't understand you. Maybe you meant sampu.'''

*The afore-illustrated exchange is of course, one of the characteristics of Lojbanistani Culture (but arguably also of any [[conlang|conlang]]): people correct each others' grammar. :-)

Examples can be found in the many [[Lojban literary forms|Lojban Poems]], the [[Lojban]] translations of the Bible and Alice in Wonderland, '''[[jbozgiMusic|jbozgi]]''' music, the [[TeaCeremony|Lojban Tea Ceremony]], and several other cultural items of lojbanistan.

The color combination orange & silver ('''narju joi rijnyska''') are sometimes thought of as '''[[lobykai|lobykai]]''' (or at least, they were prominent in [[ziryroi|ziryroi]]), but seldom used symbolically as such.

One value is very strong in modern Lojbanistan: respect for the '''[[baseline|baseline]]'''.
*[[User:And Rosta|And Rosta]]:

*:Note that respect for the [[baseline|baseline]] is like respect for the law: one respects it without necessarily agreeing with it.
** Or even necessarily obeying it...
*** Sounds like some people have a broken idea of what 'respect' means.
****[[User:xorxes|xorxes]]:
****:I respect my parents, I don't always obey them. In fact, they don't give orders now, but they do make suggestions. Sometimes I follow their suggestions, sometimes I don't. Sometimes their ideas are too old-fashioned or impractical for me, so I do things they wouldn't approve of, but I still respect them. As a child I didn't always obey them either, sometimes even when I should have, but I still respected them. The baseline is not like a god that demands unquestioning obedience, it is more like a parent or a teacher.
