To improve the quality of results, jbovlaste search does not return words with insufficient votes. To qualify to be returned in search results, a proposed lujvo is required to have received a vote in favor in both directions: for instance, in English to Lojban and in Lojban to English.

In addition, due to it being a very technically hard problem, full text searching (that is, searching of definitions rather than just keywords) is not available at this time.


1 definition found
From Lojban to English :

        Word: tifri [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental gismu (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: experiencing audience
  Gloss Word: partake in the sense of "entertainment"
  Definition: x1 is the audience/enjoying or partaking party of
       work/performance/program/entertainment/transmission/experience/
       story/presentation/act x2 (concrete or abstract), via
       means/mode/expressed in format/using senses x3; x1
       watches/listens/reads/experiences x2.
       Notes: All connotations about the judgment of the experience by x1 are
       neutral in this definition (despite the use of the "enjoy").
       This word references a generalizing concept of x1 being an
       audience to some work or experience, such as magic acts (even
       if x1 participates somewhat), theatrical plays, ovations or
       audio presentation (radio, storytelling, etc.), seminary or
       presentation, television programs, books, discussions or media
       productions on the Internet, etc. The core concept is
       audiencehood, regardless of the work being enjoyed/experienced
       and its form. There are no connotations about how x2 is
       perceived by x1 (that is: which senses are used), nor how x2 is
       transmitted nor who or what allows x1 to experience it (that
       is: whether there is an agentive performer or just a piece of
       hardware that displays x2), nor of the nature of x2; the term
       is completely generic and general. See also tigni, jarco,
       lifri, skina, kinzga, tirna, zgana, cradi, tivni
