!Lojbanistani Culture The culture of ((Lojbanistan)). In ((Lojban language)): 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|the 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|Lojban Poems)), the ((Lojban language)) translations of the Bible and Alice in Wonderland, ''((jbozgiMusic|Jbozgi))'' music, the ((TeaCeremony|Lojban 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. ---- ''.i lo jbojbe ba jdice'' (The Lojban-born will decide.) __->((Native speakers)) __ ---- !!!Emblems * The ((Lojban Logo)) * ((Lojban Anthem)) !!!Mythos * ((Lojbanic Mythology|Lojbanic Mythology)) * ((jbotut|Lojban map)) !!!Expression * ((Lojban Style)) * ((LojbanSlang)) * ((LojbanAphorisms)) * ((Lojban literary forms)) * ((Saying nothing)), verbosely !!!Daily Living * ((terjukpa|Recipes)) * ((MMORPG))--Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game !!!External Relations * ((Lojban and Esperanto)) * ((Lojban and Klingon)) * ((The Emergence of ((Lojban language)) Nationalism)) ---- 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)) ** 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))
