Wouldn't it be more culturally neutral to name them after numbers somehow? I just don't see how those make sense as lujvo in a logical sense. . . . .

[NegativeClock]

@Sonarman77 Well different cultures and countries number the days of the week differently. There are two suggestions for the naming of days in Lojban, this being only one. I chose to teach this one because the number based system counts Monday as the first day, but in many cultures Sunday is the first day, so to meet in the middle we can call the names like most East-Asian languages!

Thumbs up if you recognized the japanese kanji for each weekday!

fagdei? seriously? XD

[Sonarman77]

@NegativeClock I see what you're saying, and it makes sense, but it just leaves me feeling a little uneasy about the relative arbitrariness of the selected "elements". What is the other system? PS: Thanks for such a fast response on such a relatively old video!

i still can't understand why schwa's pronounciation is important well.

is it important divide to schwa and 'a'?

"Lest"?
