Now that I think about it: Where am I gonna find the time to learn Lojban? I can't crack that one for the life of me. Also, Toaq is so gorgeous! but then again, same problem I have with Lojban.
@teaduckie though I’m curious what problems you have with Lojban; they may not be the same as mine.
@kechpaja Like, when I tried learning Toaq I couldn't understand what a Lambda quantifier was.
@teaduckie that sounds more like a problem with the documentation than with the language itself.
@teaduckie I find it way to clunky to be able to imagine myself actually using it. You can delete syntactic ambiguity without needing speakable parentheses, but Lojban seems to use those to a much greater extent than I would.
I also find that, while they’ve put a lot of effort into making the syntax unambiguous, the meanings of compound words are just as hard to predict as in English. Although perhaps I just haven’t gone far enough.
@kechpaja I've noticed the same about the compound words.
@teaduckie I can’t say that I speak it, because I only remember a small number of words. But I’m fairly familiar with the syntax, at least at a general level.
