Lojbanistani Culture

The culture of Lojbanistan.

In Lojban Description: lojbo kulnu or jboklu

  • um. "lojbo" is a culture word. "lojbo kulnu" is redundant. -jrd
    • It's also a language/nationality/community word. IMO lojbo kulnu picks out one of those meanings and is clearer/more specific than lojbo alone. Or how about lojbo le ka ce'u kulnu, in the spirit of Simple phrases he phrasebook? Or kulnu (be) loi lojbo? -pne

xu ti poi ke'a papri ku'o cu sa'u -- Hope this means what I want it to mean. ;)

sa'u is not a selbri, so we don't understand you. Maybe you meant sampu.

  • The afore-illustrated exchange is of course, one of the characteristics of Lojbanistani Culture (but arguably also of any conlang): people correct each others' grammar. :-)

Examples can be found in the many Lojban literary forms ojban Poems, the Lojban Description translations of the Bible and Alice in Wonderland, jbozgiMusic bozgi music, the TeaCeremony ojban Tea Ceremony, and several other cultural items of lojbanistan.

The color combination orange & silver (narju joi rijnyska) are sometimes thought of as lobykai (or at least, they were prominent in ziryroi), but seldom used symbolically as such.

One value is very strong in modern Lojbanistan: respect for the baseline.

  • Note that respect for the baseline is like respect for the law: one respects it without necessarily agreeing with it. -- mi'e And Rosta
    • Or even necessarily obeying it...
      • Sounds like some people have a broken idea of what 'respect' means.
        • I respect my parents, I don't always obey them. In fact, they don't give orders now, but they do make suggestions. Sometimes I follow their suggestions, sometimes I don't. Sometimes their ideas are too oldfashioned or impractical for me, so I do things they wouldn't approve of, but I still respect them. As a child I didn't always obey them either, sometimes even when I should have, but I still respected them. The baseline is not like a god that demands unquestioning obedience, it is more like a parent or a teacher. --xorxes
