I'm officially hosting this year's annual North American toki pona meet up in NEW YORK CITY from JUNE 19TH to JUNE 22ND!!!! Please join the discord server for more info. discord.gg/a6wcKrKbn9
Also, thanks to jan Ke Tami and jan Jekuso who have already helped find and add a bunch of content!
If you wanna help find and add older content, or wanna keep the lists up to date with new content, reach out and I'll add you as a contributor!
And again, if you know a learner or could benefit from these playlists yourself, share them around!
The idea is to collect all the toki pona taso content together more easily, because it was so hard to find it all before. And the separate playlists break up different types of listening content, so learners can engage with the content they prefer more easily.
Yo! I set up four big playlists of toki pona taso content on YouTube - share with learners!

Sent it!
Ah, can't do so apparently. (I don't have a clue how Bsky decides who you can DM.)
But if there's another way for me to send it, lmk!
This is intentional, because otherwise Google has absolutely no defense against spamming the survey, which is an issue we've seen before.
But I'll send you a DM with the alt link shortly!
yo, did anyone mention suno pi toki pona is on?! suno pi toki pona li lon a!

No, this is still an error. Whether ni refers to the weeds or the issue of weeding, the verb indicates that they/it is "not newly coming"; the appropriate reading would either convey that you don't need to weed again, or that the weeds won't grow back, both pragmatically meaning the same thing.
The listener has made an error, then. This interpretation is not correct, and that isn't the fault of the language. The word "kama" there clarifies the function of the sentence, describing a change of state.
- All of the examples you gave share the ambiguating property of the original, being short
- But all of them are also instantly distinguished by the circumstances in which they are spoken, unless the speaker is being intentionally vague (which is fine lol)
This is ambiguous, but this sentence is one of very few where this matters. For all the rest, you can determine when a word is a prep by how large the prior part of speech would be if it were *not* a prep- because then the sentence would be nonsense. And otherwise, this is just how languages are?

It's curious to hear this- the community tried mass lexicalization ~20yrs ago; the community was much smaller then, but it didn't work out because it defeats the purpose of the small lexicon!
I'd say the original complaint is accurate though- the difficulty of toki pona is long term, not short term!
yeah they really do not stop from keep doing that!
It's not required! I believe most speakers don't know it, and those that do mostly use it for art pieces. But it is extremely pretty!
pona! tenpo seme la mi ken lukin e pali sina?
wawa mute!
sina sona ala sona e pali mi ni? ilo.muni.la

Go for it!
