Re: [engelang] Xorban experimental tense markers



Try asking also on Lojban list -- not all competent Lojbanists are here on this list.

For any takers, how would the following be translated in Lojban?

1. I will be hungry until I eat.

2. I have been working since I woke.

3. The train (will) arrives in ten minutes.

4. The train departed ten minutes ago.

I note that balvi and purci don't have a place meaning "(later/earlier) by amount of time x3", which would make 3 & 4 pretty straightforward.
