- Where's the bathroom?! Ever been to a foreign country and found yourself unable to properly address the question of a bathroom's location to the local non-English speaking population? Think it could be any easier in Lojbanistan? Think again.
With this video however, there will be no need for such frustration on your next trip to the Land of Logic, as this question as well as the things one will find or need in a bathroom are expressed miraculously clearly for the first time in stunning MacBook microphone audio! You'll certainly get that promotion with your newly acquired Lojban Bathroom Vocabulary!
Really well-done video. I am new to the Lojban, but I already think the comments on Lojban becoming more ambiguous over time seem unnecessary, as my thoughts are "it will change just as other languages do, but if there is a continuing demand for minimal ambiguity, it will remain unambiguous!" So, whatever. It's a cool idea, and it has a niche. The only detraction I can imagine is that spambots will find it easier to trick humans with their language skills. (And syllable counts are stupid.)

Որտեղ է զուգարանը: = 7 syllables.
Πού είναι η τουαλέτα; = 8 syllables.
화장실이 어디입니까? = 9 syllables.
バスルームはどこですか？ = 10 syllables.
Different languages express different things in varying amounts of syllables. Sometimes Lojban is longer, but usually it is much shorter. Ex: probably = la'a, I'm happy = .ui, currently = ca, the event of = nu et cetera. Lojban is designed not to have the minimum amount of syllables as possible, but to be as unambiguous as possible.
@notengonickcojones "asslept" -- past tense of assleap, which is what girls do onto a toilet, which is why they get so mad when you leave the seat up. Because they assleap without looking, and land in water. Example: "You wouldn't have gotten wet if you had looked before you asslept."
@ReasonGuysCopyright It's the ambiguity in language itself which is the "problem," and how can we be sure that grammatically everything we're saying is logical. For example, when I say "Jane eats meat or fish," does she only eat one of them or would she eat either of them? Lojban has different words for or and would have been more specific.
As long as a population is educated they will preserve their language's traditions (despite the persistence of the masses) like proper spelling and grammar.
@ReasonGuysCopyright Where is the loo only has 4 :)
Couldn't you just say "denbru" for "tooth brush" (instead of "denburcu")?
ra əmbəyäizəεora səz kwot? = 11 syllables.
I have a conlang. Well, 6 or 7 to be honest.
