a Vague PA
10:22 <vensa> ma jdima lonu curmi doi tomoj
10:22 <tomoj> is there a vague PA
10:22 <selckiku> i don't mind "malgli", that's a fine way to say it, it just makes me wonder
10:23 <vensa> selckiku: the bomb is about to go off :)
10:23 <vensa> tomoj: ji'i
10:23 <selckiku> huh, a vague pa, that's a cool idea, there isn't is there??
10:23 <vensa> ji'i
10:23 <tomoj> hmm
10:23 <tomoj> the thing is, I don't even know the number
10:23 <tomoj> nor whether it's typical
10:23 <vensa> you can use {za'u}
10:23 <tomoj> I just know it's in the hundreds
10:23 <vensa> or {su'o}
10:23 <selckiku> "ji'i" makes any PA a little vaguer, you can't use it on its own can you?
10:24 <vensa> so {za'u panono}
10:24 <tomoj> so I was thinking "XX no no"
10:24 <vensa> selckiku: y not?
10:24 <selckiku> i dunno, i'd just never seen it
10:24 <tomoj> well..
10:24 <selckiku> what selma'o is zo ji'i anyway
10:24 <selckiku> zo ji'i cmavo ma
10:24 <tomoj> 10000 is {za'u pa no no}, isn't it?
10:24 <tomoj> valsi: ji'i
10:24 <valsi> ji'i = digit/number: approximately (default the typical value in this context) (number).
10:24 <vensa> tomoj: you can try {xo paunai no no}
10:24 <tomoj> it's PA
10:25 <selckiku> ok then, i guess {li ji'i} is a pretty vague number then
10:26 <vensa> selckiku: is {za'u panono} = "more than one hunderd" or "10000"?
10:26 <vensa> valsi za'u
10:26 <valsi> za'u = digit/number: greater than.
10:26 <selckiku> 10000 is more than 100, sure
10:27 <vensa> yeah but what is the meaning of the lojban?
10:27 <vensa> oh wait
10:27 <vensa> nm.
10:27 <vensa> tomoj wasnt arguing with me
10:27 == bortzmeyer ~bortzmeye@batilda.nic.fr has quit Ping timeout: 252 seconds
10:27 <vensa> I was including "10000" as a referent of {za'u panono}
10:27 <selckiku> it's a somewhat unusual meaning of za'upanono but it depends on the context
10:28 <tomoj> I want X00 where X is a single digit 1-9
10:28 <vensa> doi tomoj no'i xu do kakne lonu se pendo lo mlatu poi bartu
10:28 <vensa> tomoj: then you need a regex :P
10:28 * ctino is going to try connecting with a real IRC client and will return soon
10:29 <vensa> yay! citno
10:29 <vensa> *Ctino
10:29 == ctino 1806f0d2@gateway/web/freenode/ip.24.6.240.210 has quit
10:29 <tomoj> hmm, is there enough cmavo space open to translate regex into lojban? :)
10:29 <vensa> hah
10:29 <vensa> valsi bo'o
10:29 <valsi> boxfo = x1 is a sheet/foil/blanket 2-dimensional shape/form flexible in 3 dimensions of material x2.
10:29 <vensa> valsi no'o
10:29 <valsi> no'o = digit/number: typical/average value.
10:29 <selckiku> the cmavo space is rather busy, really
10:29 == donri ~dag@unaffiliated/dagodenhall has joined #lojban
10:29 == gunkamanti ~sarefo@213.83.32.130 has joined #lojban
10:29 <vensa> how about {no'o no no}?
10:30 <vensa> if anything, it sounds hillarious
