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
