I'm a juggler, nature lover, and I tinker with tiny computers. Even when the feels depressing, I keep believing in universal love. I post sweet adventures on YouTube using #tokipona: https://www.youtube.com/@janPolijan

Common Sitelen Pona β€” Sitelen Pona Publishers and Typographers Association

After years of hard work, the world now has a definition of Common Sitelen Pona that followed a unifying methodology a supermajority voted on! The Association's current interim president @rebeccargb.bsky.social is the sole mouthpiece. She authorized me to share the news!

Finnish pronouns surely don't work like that and doesn't generally do reduplication! You could pretend it's inspired by the "English pattern" "bye bye" and it would be as accurate! Anyway, wan and mute already exist whenever one wish to be explicit about singular or plural.

Lesson 19: The Frontier (lipu pu)

I witness that in *Toki Pona: The Language of Good*, the 2014 community and I did equip everyone with the **guidance of how Toki Pona works**.

As the author, I hereby acknowledge that I continue to licence us all to enjoy ourselves, create, and play, because **the rest still depends on us all**.

No, there's no AI-generated content in the su book. I think you should be aware. And it's very improper to make such statements publicly without verifying the facts.

I dunno that this is useful for anyone but I made a feed that tries to identify posts that are in toki pona, rather than about toki pona.

I also have one for esperanto as well

So, maybe, just one example how I could translate:
tenpo ni la, mije li tawa weka. meli li tawa poka.
pakala la mije li tawa anpa lon wile ona ala.
telo sijelo ona li kama loje e sinpin meli.

19.08.2025 11:06 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

- why repeat tenpo lon ?
- "en" doesn't mean "and", it doesnt connect sentences.
- li pakala ... without the original, i'd thought that maybe the man was attacking
- last ona talks about whom (the meli or the mije)? It's not so clear.
- "blood"... yes, it could be anything else than "telo loje"
