Panorama guesses digitally.
Multicoloured Panorama recipients are against all changes on account of lack of money through guessing digital subscription.
Simples! But, gobbledygook - quod erat demonstrandum.

Pdenisowski asked a simple question:
pdenisowski:Why there seems to be so little attention paid to Interlingua among the Esperanto community?But the discussion has digressed and we've started talking about the pros and cons of Interlingua. It's an interesting topic in itself but that's not what he asked.

It seems that Esperanto speakers are well aware of Interlingua but simply not very interested in it, so they just don't talk about it.

An a very unscientific way I'm going to assume that Esperantists may be aware of the existence of Interlingua but not the extent to which it is an active, growing language (unlike Volapuk, LSF, or even Ido).
One comment I will make is that the epicenter (so to speak) of Interlingua is actually in the Scandinavian countries. For people who speak a non-Romance language, learning Interlingua does have some very clear and immediate practical benefits. If you already speak a Romance language, there is much less return on investment from learning Interlingua.
One theory I have is that the lack of a "movado" is one of the big differentiators between Esperanto/Ido/Volapuk and Interlingua. Interlingua has never had much of an ideology associated with it, for better or for worse.
Thanks again for all the insightful comments.
Amike,
Paul

sudanglo:Let me help you with the translation Kirilo.Wow, for real? I understood something like that the recipients of satellite (TV?) have monetary benefits from switching to digital reception...

To answer the original question (which I somehow already did): I think those esperantists who are interested in other auxlangs at all have taken a look at Interlingua and have come to the same conclusion: It's not for us.
But most e-ists are simply not interested in the former or actual competitors.

Where does it refer to Satellites? Does Panorama mean widescreen?

Panorama deveni digitalVery funny translations
Recipe Panorama in colores ante omne alteres pro minus de moneta per devenir abonato digital.
Panorama (the Interlingua magazine) is going (becoming) digital. Receive Panorama in color before all others (everyone else) for less money by becoming a digital subscriber.
The word "devenir" means "to become" (the same as in French). To "guess" is "divenir" (like Esperanto diveni).
I ran the Interlingua through Google Translate with source language as "Latin" and this is what I got (in English and Esperanto)
"Take in the colors of Panorama, before all others for less money by digital abonato arrive."
Amike,

Users of Esperanto like to build words with suffixes and prefixes while users of Interlingua are more fond of the recognition of words.
In my opinion both Esperanto and Interlingua have their own flaws. By using to many suffixes and prefixes words are not recognizable anymore.
Some words in Esperanto I think they are not so good like "perforto" for violence. And what would you say about "Milito estas for". War is over.
But for using Interlingua you have to know more Latin words to understand them.
Therefore I recommand that some words in Esperanto can be replaced by words from other languages.There must be more freedom to use other words like in natural languages. And it would not be contradictory to the Fundamento.

And what would you say about "Milito estas for". War is over."War is over" would be as far as I'm concerned "Milito ĉesigis" or "Milito finiĝis".
