  • this dictionary lists basic words. Lojban is a live and dynamic language and accumulates more words over time.
The general rule is that everyone is free to create new words in Lojban. When you need a new word consult Lojbanists to discuss a place structure and the sounding of it.
  • examples are provided only for most useful places of verbs.
    • Places not listed here may be sometimes used by people in real conversations. Feel free to consult them on the meaning of those places.
    • In most cases if a verb may have more places its definition has " ..." at the end.
    • some examples represent advanced style. I added them to show different (sometimes more powerful) applications of a word. You may try to analyze them later.
  • for verbs with many places you may remember only a few of them. Not all places are always needed. Practice will allow you to gradually internalize needed places while speaking to Lojbanists in real time.

Verbs

Lojban verbs have place structure. Places are to be filled with nouns, names or pronouns.

mi prami do
I love you.
mi = I
prami = x1 loves x2
do = you

Here the verb prami (to love) has two places. The first place (x1) is filled with the pronoun mi (I) and the second place (x2) with the pronoun do (you).

Every verb can be turned into a noun by putting the particle lo in front of it:

prami = x1 loves x2
lo prami = the one who loves, lover

Hence, lo prami refers to the first place (x1) of the verb prami. To refer to the second place (x2) the particle se is put in front of the verb:

lo se prami = the one who is loved, beloved one

Types of places

Each place in Lojban can contain one of the following:

  • clause (of which property and proposition are its special cases)
  • entity (of which text is a special case)
  • number

Those are put in brackets after each place, for example:

catlux1(entity) looks at x2(clause)
In case of doubt with places open this dictionary and look at the examples for the word you need. At least one of the usage examples will have all places filled.


Besides, every place (no matter whether it's a clause or an entity) can be explicitly marked as:

  • group
  • ordered group

Entity

Entity place in a noun matches an entity place of the main verb:

lo plise cu grute
Apple is a fruit.
lo = takes the first place of verb and converts the verb to a noun
plise = x1 (entity) is an apple of species x2
cu = marks the beginning of the clause tail
grute = x1 (entity) is a fruit of plant x2

Here

  • the first place of plise is an entity,
  • plise is converted to a noun,
  • this noun is put into the first place of the verb grute,
  • the first place of grute is also an entity,
  • hence entity in the noun matches entity of the verb.

Clause

Clause place in a noun matches a clause place of the main verb.

It means that the place is filled either with a clause or with another place of clause type:

lo cipra cu cumki
A test is possible.
cipra = x1(clause) is a test, act of examination, study of x2(entity)
cumki = x1(clause) is possible

Here, the first place of cipra is a clause and it matches the first place of cumki which is also a clause.


mi djica lo se nitcu
I want what is needed.
djica = x1 wants x2 (clause)
nitcu = x1 needs x2 (clause)
se = makes a new verb by exchanging first two places in a verb
se nitcu = x1 (clause) is needed by x2

Here, the second place of djica is a clause and it matches the second place of nitcu which is also a clause.


lo nicte cu nu lo solri na se viska
Nighttime is when the Sun isn't seen.
nicte = x1 (clause) is a nighttime
nu = makes a verb of clause type out of a clause
lo solri = the Sun
na = not
se viska = x1(entity) is seen by x2(entity)

Here, we have a clause created using nu and it matches the first place of nicte which is also a clause.

Group and ordered group

do jo'u mi casnu lo nanba
You and I are discussing bread.
casnu = x1(entity group) discuss x2(entity)
lo nanba = bread

The first place of the verb casnu describes a group, members of which discuss something between themlseves. Here jo'u joins two pronouns into such a group.

Usual nouns can be used in such places as well:

lo prenu cu casnu lo nanba
You and I are discussing bread.
lo prenu = people

pruce fo {lo nu gau glare} ce'o {lo nu gau lenku}
It's a process coming through stages of {heating} and then {chilling}.
pruce = x1(clause) is a process with input x2(entity) and output x3(entity) via stages x4(entity ordered group)

The fourth place of the verb pruce describes an ordered group specifying stages. We use ce'o here to join nouns (describing stages) into an ordered group.

Property (infinitive)

Property is a clause that contains a ce'u particle:

mi gleki lo ka ce'u prami means the same as
mi gleki lo nu mi prami
I am happy that I love, I am happy of loving (someone).

mi gleki lo ka prami ce'u means the same as
mi gleki lo nu prami mi
I am happy that someone loves me, I am happy of being loved (by someone)

The particle ce'u is used for referring to the noun from the outside verb.

  • Definitions of verbs usually explicitly specify to what place ce'u refers to:
lo ka na jinga pu betri mi
Not winning was a tragedy to me.
betri = x1(property of x2) is a tragedy for x2(entity)
- here it's the speaker who didn't win.

If not explained in the dictionary then:

  • ce'u in the first place of the verb refers to the 2nd place of the verb like in the previous example.
  • ce'u in another place refers to the 1st place of the verb:
mi kakne lo ka limna
I am able to swim.
kakne = x1(entity) is capable of doing x2(property of x1)

ka is used to express English infinitives:

mi djica lo ka pinxe or mi djica lo nu mi pinxe
I want to drink.

Put it another way, ka creates a property, which has at least one "open slot" (marked by ce'u). Certain verbs expect such a property in one of their places, and in such verbs properties are applied to one of the other places. So if we put a property in one place, the verb copies values of other places in place of ce'u.

ce'u by itself doesn't have special meaning. It's the definitions of verbs in this dictionary that tell the relations between places and what value will ce'u take.


Omitting ce'u

If ka is used to start the clause then the first omitted noun in that clause is automatically assigned the value of ce'u. So we can make the first sentence shorter:

mi gleki lo ka prami means the same as
mi gleki lo ka ce'u prami
I am happy that I love, I am happy of loving (someone).

However, compare:

mi gleki lo ka prami ce'u

Here, in order to omit ce'u we need to somehow fill the first noun so that ce'u goes to the next unfilled noun. Here is how we cand do that:

mi gleki lo ka do prami means the same as
mi gleki lo ka do prami ce'u or mi gleki lo nu do prami mi
I am happy that you love me, I am happy of being loved by you.

ce'u referring to several places

Some properties can refer equally to several places. For example, for zmadu and mleca the particle ce'u refers equally to the first two places:

mi zmadu do lo ka clani vau lo mitre be li pi no mu
I am 5 centimeters taller than you.
I am more than you in length by 0.05 meters. [literally]
zmadu = x1(entity) exceeds or is more than x2(entity) in x3(property of x1 and x2 with kau) by amount x4(entity)

Here, mi and do are compared, and ce'u in the third place refers to mi and do equally.

ce'u in simxu

A very special case is simxu that has in its second place two ce'u:

mi jo'u do simxu lo ka ce'u ce'u prami
You and I love each other.

The first place of simxu is one or several nouns connected with jo'u.

The second place of simxu is an abstraction. The first two unfilled places take have ce'u implied. So you can remove both ce'u in this example:

mi jo'u do simxu lo ka prami
You and I love each other.

kau in places

The interjection kau allows putting indirect questions that can refer to other places:

mi lacri do lo ka ma kau sidju ce'u
I rely on you to help me.
lacri = x1(entity) relies, counts on, trusts x2(entity) to bring about, ensure, maintain state x3(property of x1 with kau)

Here, ma kau refers to the x2 place of lacri.

lo mlatu cu klani li pi mu lo ka mitre ma kau
A cat is measured 0.5 meters (e.g. in length or some other dimension).
klani = x1(entity) is measured by x2(number) on x3(property of x1 with kau)

Here, ma kau refers to x2 place of klani.

Proposition type

Proposition is a place filled with du'u. It works exactly as nu but is traditionally used with some places and always mentioned for them in the dictionary:

djuno = x1 (entity) knows that x2 (proposition) is true
mi djuno lo du'u do stati
I know that you are smart.

Instead of property you may use another type of clause with nu or du'u. Compare

mi djica lo ka sipna
I want to sleep.
mi djica lo nu do sipna
I want you to sleep.
I want that you sleep. [literally]

Text type

Text place is filled with quotes and start with zo, lu ... li'u, zoi or some other particles. The dictionary provides examples of such places.

Number type

Numbers are marked with li:

ti mitre li mu
This is 5 meters long.
or a "number" place from another verb: lo namcu, lo se mitre.

Other types

There are other more rare types of places like taxon. taxon is filled with names of species, plant varieties, which start with la.

tu'a and zo'ei

le nakni na nitcu lo ka co'e
He does not have to do this.
co'e — elliptical/unspecified verb. Often translated with this, that, it.
le nakni = he
na = preposition: not
nitcu = to need
ma pu co'e
Who did it?
mi curmi lo nu do co'e
I will give you permission to do it.
pu = preposition: past tense
curmi = to let something happen

So co'e is a verb that is known from context. mi co'e might mean I am doing you know what, or You know who I am.

While zo'e is the ‘don't care’ noun, co'e is the ‘don't care’ verb. For example, when I say mi klama lo barja, I'm not bothering to specify my point of origin, route, or vehicle. And when I say mi co'e lo barja I don't specify what I'm doing to the bar, probably I'm visiting it. So mi co'e lo barja means something like I thingummy the bar: the bar and I are in some relationship, but I'm not bothering to say what it is. I might be going to it, coming from it, sleeping in it, refurbishing it, or hearing about my neighbor getting drunk in it once. It just doesn't matter enough for me to say what.

The verb djica requires us to specify an event that one desires.

mi djica lo nu mi citka lo plise
I want to eat an apple.
citka = to eat
lo plise = apple/apples

Okay, but usually we just say in English I want an apple. We can't desire the apple itself, we want to do something with it.

Here we can omit the second mi and replace the verb to eat with co'e.

mi djica lo nu co'e lo plise
I want something to do with an apple.

So I let it be up to context what abstraction about the apple I desire.

There is a compact abbreviation for lo nu co'e which is tu'a:

mi djica tu'a lo plise
I want an apple.

tu'a takes a noun and converts it to an elliptical abstraction which has something to do with that noun. One always has to guess what abstraction the speaker means by tu'a + the noun, so it should only be used when context makes it easy to guess.

Another example:

za'a do gasnu tu'a lo skami
I see that you make the computer do something.
gasnu = x1 does, brings about x2 (clause)

There are situations where you cannot use tu'a, even though it would seem suitable. These situations are when I don't want the resulting noun to be an abstraction, but a concrete noun. In this case, one can use zo'e pe or its abbreviation zo'ei.

mi djuno zo'ei do or mi djuno zo'e pe do
I know about you, I know something about you.

Colloquial: an entity place into a clause place

These last two rules can be found in colloquial speech. They are sometimes avoided by careful speakers. However, if you bump into them you will know how to deal with them.

Putting an entity place into a clause place denotes an obvious relation:

mi djica lo plise
I want apples.
The second place of djica is a clause. Thus lo plise, an apple plays some role in that clause. Probably it means:
mi djica lo nu mi citka lo plise
I want to eat apples.
but maybe I just want to hold an apple in my hand. If you need vagueness or just lazy to say more you can use this method.

Thus, this situation can be viewed as omitting tu'a in mi djica tu'a lo plise.

do nabmi
You are a problem.
nabmi = x1(clause) is a problem...
probably means that there is something problematic with you.

Thus, this can be viewed as omitting tu'a in tu'a do nabmi, or (which would mean the same) as omitting jai in do jai nabmi.

This situation is also called "grammatical raising" in English. It neither recommended, nor terribly wrong. Still it won't be smoothly accepted by everyone. Compare literal English translation doesn't sounding right:
mi pacna lo so'i se dunda
I hope many presents. [literally]

instead of

mi pacna tu'a lo so'i se dunda
I hope for many presents.

Colloquial: a clause place into an entity place

A clause place in a noun can be put into an entity place of the main verb:

mi klama lo nu penmi
I go to a meeting.
klama = x1(entity) goes to x2(entity)...
The second place of klama denotes a place where you go. lo nu penmi denotes a process of meeting, thus we assume that here it is bound to some location where I go.
Another example:
lo ka kucli pu catra lo mlatu
Curiosity killed the cat.
- here curiosity is turned into an entity that is able to kill. As it's a clause with ka it has to refer to some place.
As the definition of catra says nothing about such situation we assume that it refers to the first unfilled place: here it's x2. Thus, it's the curiosity of the cat that killed it.
