pe'i - 'I opine'


pe'i
UI2

'I opine'

evidential: I opine (subjective claim)



cf. jinvi

Ha, as nobody commented on a next topic you now have to live with the things I came up (well, timos helped me with it, thanks).
This week I'll post some cmavo which might be useful in conversations. I think most attitudinals are known and I linked the grammar section in one of my previous posts. {pe'i} is a evidential, which can be found in the same chapter as attitudinals, but in subsection 11 (see here: Chapter 11, Subsection 13).

I think everyone already knows this word because it's used in quite a big number of examples among the introductionary texts, but nevertheless I post it because it fits the topic.

* vreji 'record'
* terpa 'fear'

Even longer ago:

* rinka 'cause'
* krino 'reason'
* gasnu 'do'
* fasnu 'event'
* gleki 'happy'

Ages ago:

* sidja 'help'
* nitcu 'need'
* djuno 'know'
* dinju 'building'

So long ago that I've a hard time remembering:

Finally a word which references the cmavo lists' attitudinal indicators, so here the link to the chapter in the grammar: http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-download_wiki_attachment.php?attId=185&page=The+Lojban+Reference+Grammar/publications/reference_grammar/chapter13.htmlamp;download=y

pacna - 'hope'


pacna
pa'a

'hope'

x1 hopes/wishes for/desires x2 (event), expected likelihood x3 (0-1); x1 hopes that x2 happens



* also: x1 is hopeful of x2; x2 will hopefully occur, as hoped for by x1
* the value of x3 is a subjective estimate of likeliness according to x1, and is the basic determinant of whether pacna means 'hope' or 'wish' or 'expect': hoping for objects/states with negligible expectation is "wishing"
* if the state is plausibly likely, it is "hoping"
* when the probability is subjectively near 1, the attitude is described as "expecting"
* the value will usually be expressed using inexact numbers ("li piso'u" to "li piro")
* wish (= sotpa'a), hope (= sorpa'a), expect (= sojypa'a)]

cf. djica

Maybe with the help of the follow words better answers to the generic question {do mo} (than {mi zasti}) are possible.
