{CODE(wrap="1]][[jbocre: 09:04]] <vensa> btw: where does it say that {xorlo} is official?
==  Proposed Definitions And Examples ==
[[jbocre: 09:04]] <ctino> ...
 
[[jbocre: 09:05]] <selckiku> xorlo was ruled official by some meeting of the LLG or something
===  Proposed Definition of ''ri'a'' ===
[[jbocre: 09:05]] <vensa> where does it say that?
 
[[jbocre: 09:05]] <selckiku> in my memory, for one place
;'''ri'a''' (BAI): With cause... Tags a sumti as fitting the 1st place of rinka.  Augments the bridi in which it occurs, adding an extra place with the meaning of the 1st place of rinka and then fills it with the tagged sumti. In other words, the event described by the bridi is caused by the referent of the tagged sumti. See also: rinka, ja'e, ni'i, mu'i, ki'u, se ri'a, te ri'a, ri'a ma, ri'a nai, se ri'a nai.
[[jbocre: 09:05]] <vensa> ha ha
 
[[jbocre: 09:05]] <ctino> I wish I could search some database for a word and have it return to me a giant list of ALL of the grammar rules associated with it...
** Keywords: With cause
[[jbocre: 09:05]] <treed> "interim baseline"
 
[[jbocre: 09:05]] <treed> check the meeting minutes
===  Examples of ''ri'a'' Usage ===
[[jbocre: 09:05]] <selckiku> i remember them saying it was a "christmas gift" somewher!
 
[[jbocre: 09:05]] <vensa> isnt threre an official site of the LLG's meeting summaries?
Artificial:
[[jbocre: 09:05]] <treed> it was a christmas gift to the community 3-4 years ago
 
[[jbocre: 09:06]] <vensa> treed: where can I see the "interim baseline"?
''.i le bolci cu farlu ri'a lo nu mi co'u sarji ri''
[[jbocre: 09:06]] <ksion> IIRC neither xorlo nor dotside is official, but at least xorlo is mentioned in dictionary :)
 
[[jbocre: 09:07]] <tomoj> ydrc
The ball fell because I stopped holding it up.
[[jbocre: 09:07]] <vensa> wha?!
 
[[jbocre: 09:07]] <tomoj> he doesn't remember correctly
===  Proposed Definition of ''ri'a ma'' ===
[[jbocre: 09:07]] <vensa> In that case: vensa is officialy denouncing xorlo as of now
 
[[jbocre: 09:07]] <vensa> mi nelci lenu mi tavla fi le jbobau fo le jbobau
;'''ri'a ma''' (BAI*): With what cause? Tags a sumti question marker as fitting the first place of rinka. Augments the bridi in which it occurs, adding an extra place with the meaning of the first place of rinka and then fills it with a sumti question cmavo (ma).  In other words, the tagged sumti asks what physically caused the event described by the bridi.  See also: rinka, ja'e, ni'i, mu'i, ki'u, ri'a, se ri'a, te ri'a, ri'a nai, se ri'a nai.
[[jbocre: 09:07]] <tomoj> xorlo was accepted unanimously, but is technically still subject to change, according to the tiki
 
[[jbocre: 09:08]] <vensa> oh...lol: I thout ydrc=You do recall correctly :)
** Keywords: With what cause?
[[jbocre: 09:08]] <ksion> Yes.
 
[[jbocre: 09:08]] * ctino cries at the ruinous state of their favorite language
=== Examples of ''ri'a ma'' Usage ===
[[jbocre: 09:08]] <vensa> ctino: welcome to reality
 
[[jbocre: 09:08]] <vensa> I had that crisis a while back
Artificial:
[[jbocre: 09:08]] <selckiku> most languages don't have any official anything and they do fine
 
[[jbocre: 09:08]] <vensa> but I'm still here
''.i ri'a ma le tsani cu blanu''
[[jbocre: 09:08]] <vensa> you get over it
 
[[jbocre: 09:08]]  * ksion thinks ctino could finally specify eir gender and stop annoying lindar.
Why is the sky blue?
[[jbocre: 09:09]]  * ctino likes annoying Lindar.
 
[[jbocre: 09:09]] * vensa likes ctino's likes
===  Proposed Definition of ''ri'a nai'' ===
[[jbocre: 09:09]] <ksion> selckiku: AFAIK this is untrue. Most (major) languages have official standarising comitees.
 
[[jbocre: 09:09]] <vensa> yep
;'''ri'a nai''' (BAI*): Not caused by... Tags a sumti as not fitting the 1st place of rinka. Augments the bridi in which it occurs, adding an extra place with the meaning of the 1st place of na'e rinka and then fills it with the tagged sumti. In other words, the event described by the bridi is not caused by the referent of the tagged sumti.  See also: rinka, ja'e, ni'i, mu'i, ki'u, ri'a, se ri'a, te ri'a, ri'a ma, se ri'a nai.
[[jbocre: 09:09]] <ksion> ctino: Don't get me wrong; I also like lindar being annoyed ;)
 
[[jbocre: 09:09]] <vensa> treed: where can I see this official acceptance of xorlo?
** Keywords: Not caused by, regardles of cause.
[[jbocre: 09:09]] <ctino> Hahaha
 
[[jbocre: 09:10]] <selckiku> i guess "major" in that case means 1st world, european? anyway i stand by my claim
=== Examples of ''ri'a nai'' Usage ===
[[jbocre: 09:10]] <selckiku> and no one listens to those committees in languages that do have them, anyway
 
[[jbocre: 09:10]] <treed> .g lojban "interim baseline"
Artificial:
[[jbocre: 09:10]] <la_fen> treed: No results found for 'lojban "interim baseline"'.
 
[[jbocre: 09:10]] <ksion> selckiku: Anything being spoken by more than 10 milion people.
''.i mi nelci do ri'anai lo za'i do melbi''
[[jbocre: 09:10]] <treed> wat
 
[[jbocre: 09:10]] <treed> http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&client=ubuntu&channel=cs&ie=UTF-8&q=lojban+%22interim+baseline%22
I like you, but not because you're beautiful.
[[jbocre: 09:10]] <vensa> selkik: .ienaisai
 
[[jbocre: 09:11]] <ksion> selckiku: Just by the fact your language is weird coglomerate of funky stuff, don't assume everyone else's languages are the same ;P
===  Note ===
[[jbocre: 09:11]] <vensa> what is the {zasni gafyfantymanri }?
 
[[jbocre: 09:11]] <ctino> I think lojban's committe should be as together as Sun(screw you Oracle) is with Java... Or more so.
It should be noted (and this applies to all BAI+nai) constructs that while the above example asserts that "mi nelci do", and it asserts that this isn't a result of "do melbi", it does *not* assert "do melbi" one way or the other.
[[jbocre: 09:12]] <vensa> lol computer analogy
 
[[jbocre: 09:12]] <treed> interim baseline
===  Proposed Definition of ''se ri'a'' ===
[[jbocre: 09:12]] <ctino> :P
 
[[jbocre: 09:12]] <vensa> oh
;'''se ri'a''' (BAI*): With result... Tags a sumti as fitting the 2nd place of rinka.  Augments the bridi in which it occurs, adding an extra place with the meaning of the 2nd place of rinka and then fills it with the tagged sumti.  In other words, the event described by the bridi is the cause of the referent of the tagged sumti.  See also: rinka, ja'e, mu'i, ni'i, ki'u, ri'a, te ri'a, ri'a ma, ri'a nai, se ri'a nai.
[[jbocre: 09:12]] <treed> can you just like... read the whole page?
 
[[jbocre: 09:12]] <vensa> does "interim" mean "temporary"?
** Keywords: With result
[[jbocre: 09:12]] <ksion> Currently is more like C++ Standard Comitee.
 
[[jbocre: 09:12]] <ctino> ksion: xD
===  Examples of ''se ri'a'' Usage ===
[[jbocre: 09:12]] <vensa> treed: I cant read patiently AND pay attention here
 
[[jbocre: 09:12]] <vensa> and I have to pay attention here to annoy certian ppl :P
Artificial:
[[jbocre: 09:13]] <treed> Yes, it means "until we finish".
 
[[jbocre: 09:13]] <vensa> I C
''.i do darxi mi seri'a lo za'i mi cortu''
[[jbocre: 09:13]] <vensa> treed: isnt it possible for anyone to theoretically tamper with this tiki? shouldnt this be placed on a more secure site?
 
[[jbocre: 09:14]] <treed> there are people watching the change list
You hit me, which results in my pain.
[[jbocre: 09:14]] <vensa> I C
 
[[jbocre: 09:14]] <selckiku> i watch the changes
===  Proposed Definition of ''se ri'a nai'' ===
[[jbocre: 09:14]] <vensa> fair enough
 
[[jbocre: 09:14]] <vensa> however, I still think that all Official material should be kept totally seperate from unofficial material (like most of the rest of the tiki)
;'''se ri'a nai''' (BAI*): Not resulting in... Tags a sumti as not fitting the 2nd place of rinka. Augments the bridi in which it occurs, adding an extra place with the meaning of the 2nd place of na'e rinka and then fills it with the tagged sumti. In other words, the event described by the bridi does not cause the event described by the referent of the tagged sumti.  See also: rinka, ja'e, mu'i, ni'i, ki'u, ri'a, se ri'a, te ri'a, ri'a ma, ri'a nai.
[[jbocre: 09:15]] <vensa> it gives a greater sense of importance in the eye of the reader
 
[[jbocre: 09:15]] <ctino> If it's official it should be put on the wikibooks site.
** Keywords: Not resulting in
[[jbocre: 09:15]] <ctino> IMO
 
[[jbocre: 09:15]] <vensa> there should be seperate sites: LLG definitions, BPFK stuff, and all the rest
===  Examples of ''se ri'a nai'' Usage ===
[[jbocre: 09:16]] <vensa> IMO it should be put in CLL, but thats another thing
 
[[jbocre: 09:16]] <vensa> obviously no one has the time to do that
Artificial:
[[jbocre: 09:16]] <vensa> ctino: what is the wikibooks site?
 
[[jbocre: 09:16]] <ctino> What does BPFK stand for?
''.i do darxi le ve tivni seri'anai lonu ri se cikre''
[[jbocre: 09:16]] <vensa> something in lojban
 
[[jbocre: 09:16]] <ctino> http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Lojban
You hit the TV, but that doesn't result in it being repaired.
[[jbocre: 09:16]] <selckiku> baupla fuzme kamni
 
[[jbocre: 09:16]] <selckiku> something like that
===  Proposed Definition of ''te ri'a'' ===
[[jbocre: 09:17]] <selckiku> languageplan responsible committee
 
[[jbocre: 09:17]] <ctino> Ah. Cool.
;'''te ri'a''' (BAI*):  Caused under conditions... Tags a sumti as fitting the 3rd place of rinka. Augments the bridi in which it occurs, adding an extra place with the meaning of the 3rd place of rinka and then fills it with the tagged sumti. In other words, the event described by the bridi is caused under the conditions described by the referent of the tagged sumti.  See also: rinka, ja'e, mu'i, ni'i, ki'u, ri'a, se ri'a, ri'a ma, ri'a nai, se ri'a nai.
[[jbocre: 09:17]] <vensa> ctino: I never, in all my timeof lojban, saw that site.
 
[[jbocre: 09:17]] <ctino> And how does it differ (in responsibility/power) fro LLG?
** Keywords: Caused under conditions...
[[jbocre: 09:17]] <vensa> y the heck should it be the "official"?
 
[[jbocre: 09:18]] <ctino> vensa: Because it's a great medium to house the information. And if it were updated with all of the official info it would be excellent.
===  Examples of ''te ri'a'' Usage ===
[[jbocre: 09:19]] <vensa> ctino: but no one would fine it. it doesnt come up in the top results in google
 
[[jbocre: 09:19]] <vensa> IMO, the tiki should have a private area that cant be updated by everyone
Artificial:
[[jbocre: 09:19]] <vensa> with a big link from the homepage to it saying "official deefinitions"
 
[[jbocre: 09:19]] <selckiku> the only vandalism problem on the tiki is wow gold spammers
''.i le karce cu xe klama teri'a loza'i mi bilga lonu klama le zarci''
[[jbocre: 09:19]] <vensa> whats that selkik?
 
[[jbocre: 09:20]] <selckiku> i dunno, every week or so there's an edit where someone puts in something about where to buy wow gold
When I have to go to the store, the car is a vehicle.
[[jbocre: 09:20]] <vensa> selkik: it's not only a matter of vandalism potential. it's a matter of fact that something seperate that looks serious and official is more highly regarded by readers
 
[[jbocre: 09:20]] <ctino> vensa: ...It's the sixth on google search for lojban.
===  Proposed Definition of ''ni'i'' ===
[[jbocre: 09:21]] <vensa> ctino: anything on the results list that is lower than a personal site (http://neptune.spaceports.com/~words/lojban.html) IMO is bogus
 
[[jbocre: 09:22]] <vensa> not just concerning lojban
;'''ni'i''' (BAI):  By logic... Tags a sumti as fitting the 1st place of nibli.  Augments the bridi in which it occurs, adding an extra place with the meaning of the 1st place of nibli and then fills it with the tagged sumti.  In other words, the event described by the bridi follows logically from the referent of the tagged sumti.  See also: nibli, ja'e, mu'i, ri'a, ki'u, se ni'i, te ni'i, ni'i ma, ni'i nai, se ni'i nai.

[[jbocre: 09:22]] <ctino> So, because the personal site has better SEO it's got more credibility?
** Keywords: By logic...
[[jbocre: 09:22]] <vensa> no
 
[[jbocre: 09:22]] <ctino> That's horrible thinking there.
===  Examples of ''ni'i'' Usage ===
[[jbocre: 09:22]] <vensa> becuz the wikibooks has less SEO it has less credebility
 
[[jbocre: 09:22]] <lindar> ?
Artificial:
[[jbocre: 09:22]] <ksion> vensa: When you Google 'lojban' in Polish, my personal site which only contains seven blogposts about lojban is 4th - right after wikipedia ;P

''.i la platon mrobi'o ni'i le du'u py remna''
[[jbocre: 09:22]] <ksion> Search Engine Optimalisation.
 
[[jbocre: 09:22]] <vensa> ksion: is it b4 lojban org?
Plato dies, which follows logically because he is human.
[[jbocre: 09:22]] <ctino> Search Engine Optimization.
 
[[jbocre: 09:23]] <vensa> IMO: only lojban.org and wikipedia\lojban are the "worthy" sites
===  Proposed Definition of ''ni'i ma'' ===
[[jbocre: 09:23]] <ksion> vensa: lojban.org is not in Polish.
 
[[jbocre: 09:23]] <vensa> thats why lojban org should link to the official site
;'''ni'i ma''' (BAI*):  By what logic? Tags a sumti question marker as fitting the first place of nibli.  Augments the bridi in which it occurs, adding an extra place with the meaning of the first place of nibli and then fills it with a sumti question cmavo (ma).  In other words, the tagged sumti asks by what logic the event described by the bridi occurs.  See also: nibli, ja'e, ri'a, mu'i, ki'u, ni'i, se ni'i, te ni'i, ni'i nai, se ni'i nai.

==  Notes ==
 
==  Impact ==
 
There exists a contradiction between the CLL and the ma'oste about the meaning of BAInai WRT causals. The interpretation we are using (explicated in the preface section) here for "ri'a nai" and such matches with that found in the CLL (Chapter 9, Section 13). To get the meaning shown in the ma'oste (despite...), it is suggested to use e.g. to'eri'anai instead of ri'anai.
 
This is shown as the following:
 
* ri'a == with cause
* ri'anai == not with cause (regardless of cause)
 
* to'eri'a == prevented by
* to'eri'anai == not prevented by (despite)

Notes

Impact

There exists a contradiction between the CLL and the ma'oste about the meaning of BAInai WRT causals. The interpretation we are using (explicated in the preface section) here for "ri'a nai" and such matches with that found in the CLL (Chapter 9, Section 13). To get the meaning shown in the ma'oste (despite...), it is suggested to use e.g. to'eri'anai instead of ri'anai.

This is shown as the following:

  • ri'a == with cause
  • ri'anai == not with cause (regardless of cause)
  • to'eri'a == prevented by
  • to'eri'anai == not prevented by (despite)
