''rafsi'' are the combining forms of the Lojban ''gismu'' roots. ''cmavo'' are the words that govern the grammatical structure of a Lojban sentence. Attitudinals are ''cmavo'' that indicate the speaker's emotional and discursive attitudes toward what is being said. !!Vocabulary and Other Study Materials You need a method to learn the vocabulary. We recommend using one of the LogFlash programs if you have an appropriate computer. See the listings below for computer-oriented Lojbanists. Otherwise, we recommend using the flash cards.
