prami - 'love'


prami
pam, pa'i

'love'

x1 loves/feels strong affectionate devotion towards x2 (object/state)



* also: x1 is loving towards x2, x1 is a lover of x2 (one sense), x2 is beloved by x1 (= selpa'i for reordered places)

cf. cinmo, xebni, nelci, djica, sinma, pluka, kurji, pendo, speni

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.

ki'e - thanks

I think it's time for a summary again:

* xenru 'regret'
* pacna 'hope'
* pendo 'friend'
* badri 'sad'
* steba 'frustration'
* cinmo 'emotion'

Thanks for reading this blog.

Some time ago:

* jarco 'show'
* mapti 'fit'
* judri 'address'
* 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'
* cunso 'random'

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

* taxfu 'garment'
* cekra 'shirt'
* palku 'pants'
* skaci 'skirt'
* pastu 'robe'

xenru - 'regret'


xenru
xe'u

'regret'

x1 regrets/rues (abstraction) x2; x1 is regretful/rueful/sorry/[remorseful] about x2



also: x1 feels remorse about x2 (= zugyxe'u)

cf. cmavo list .u'u, zungi

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

'friend'

Though this isn't a feeling, it's the right time for this word.

I'll just inserted this post to the date of the day before yesterday to have some topic for the following posts.
Maybe with the help of the follow words better answers to the generic question {do mo} (than {mi zasti}) are possible.
