The OR Operator
a
In Loglan, we define the Or operator as true if one item it links together has a value of true. The little word a connects predicates together.
Examples
- mi tcatro a maifle - I am a driver or a pilot (or both)
- le tetri gu solflo a kleda - the weather is sunny or cold (or both)
- le bakso gu redro a dirlu a groda - the box is red or lost or large (or any combination)
ca, ka, anoi and ica
The little word a forms the foundations for a set of "OR" words.
- ca - forms an OR operation with predicates as arguments
- ka - forms an OR operation as a but as a forethought connection. It works with the little word ki
- anoi - represents an if relationship and results from NOT OR
- ica - connects two sentences together with an OR operation
Examples
ca
- le mrenu ca fumna gu godzi - the man or woman goes
- le katmu gu fundi le cutri ca ficlu - the cat likes water or fish
ka
- le ka mrenu ki fumna gu godzi - the man or woman goes
- le katmu gu fundi le ka cutri ki ficlu - the cat likes water or fish
anoi
- mi fundi le bukcu anoi le sinma - I like the book if I like the film
ica
- mi fundi le bukcu ica le sinma - I like the book or I like the film
