erinja:"mojosa" is a monstrosity all by itself, but "senmojoseca" is much worse.
I was skimming through one of the threads on the forums here when I ran across what Erinja said above, and it made me curious. What's wrong with the word mojoso/a?

A forum search ought to turn up at least several discussion threads that cover your question thoroughly.

I think it's ridiculous and totally unnecessary.

But you can read many old threads where I said that same thing in much more detail.

Some people love it, I think it's dumb.

I was just about to post about this. They use "mojosa" and "mojoseco" a lot on Muzaiko.info, but I couldn't find it in any dictionary. This and other threads have helped me to understand the story behind "mojosa".

I'm like searching illiterate. I type in popcorn, and dolphins come back. How do I search for what was written by Erinja, but limit it to only threads about mojosa?

Yeah, I've actually seen mojosa quite a bit, and thought it was a perfectly normal and fine word to use, so that's why I found Erinja's comment so interesting. I guess I'm like the little kid who goes around saying curse words because she was never taught how inappropriate those words are. lango.gif

It is in "Ulrich Matthias / Dietrich M. Weidmann - Kleines Wörterbuch Deutsch-Esperanto/Esperanto-Deutsch".

I'm with Erinja in finding mojosa less than satisfactory, but then I am a grizharulo.

At least kuul! as an interjection would have some international recognizability (for French and English speakers, even if not for others).

Definitely for German speakers too.

Anyway I use malaĉa as it seems to me to be more in Esperanto’s spirit of using existing roots, but I’m not really pro or anti mojosa.

Nothing, IMO, with mojosa. However I'm not sure what you mean by mojoso.

Restu mojosa!

It isn't profane or indecent. As I put it in another thread where the word was discussed - in my opinion, it's used by people to prove how with-it and cool they are, and as soon as they use it, in my eyes, they prove that they are the very opposite of those things.

Here's one thread where you can read a past discussion

More threads about it here and here,.
