Post by: TiagoTiago on February 22, 2011, 08:25:41 PM
Does anyone here speak Lojban (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lojban)? How is "Bitcoin" translated in Lojban?

spisa sicni?

Surprisingly, I couldn't find a word for Boolean, which I think would work better for bit than piece.

En la esperanto ni diras bitmono kiel bit + mono

How about fatri sicni? ;)

Code:
$ echo fatri sicni | jbofihe -x -b
[ << |  fatri                 sicni          | >> ]
[ << |  distributed [type-of] being coin(s)  | >> ]
[ <<  \                                     /  >> ]
1 2  3                                      3  2  1
$

Cheers,

Jes, Esperanto estas pli mojosa ol Lojbano ;p.
Ĉu iu jam tradukis la bitmonera kliento en Lojbano?

Google xlate should do esperanto, too!  (Did you say that esperanto is cooler than lojban?)

Cheers,

Yes, you understood it. I think I once read that google works on it. But idk what's the status of their project.

I've attempted to learn esperanto a few times, but I get offended by the grammar (perceived incongruences like ‘la cato’).  But for sure it would be easier to find someone to speak with if I spoke esperanto.

Cheers,

Can you explain what's wrong with "la kato"?

I think one of the advantages of learning esperanto is, that you can reuse the learnt vocabulary in other languages (from the romanic or germanic familiy). So you don't really lose the time even though you might not use it in your everday's life (which is possible though).

Going to esperanto meetings is fun. I never met so many interesting people gathered in one place. But it's probably also true for Lojban that it attracts smart people.

Spanish speakers or people more familiar with Spanish than Esperanto look at la kato and think it should be el kato or la kata.

Nerdiest thing ever...
Pretty much.

I also had the feeling in the beginning that it sound somehow wrong, since it reuses the vocabulary from other languages. But that feeling was soon gone. And later this pays off because learning word is so much easier.

I think the nerdiest language is klingon, because it was designed to be tough to learn.
