sitelen My take on the geography of ma pona

Post image
โ€ข Upvotes

yes i drew this on my notebook.

Meso is the capital city.

Iloki = ilo toki, walkie talkie

Ankali = anpa pi kasi suli, tree trunk

Kenuta Is. = kiwen uta, tooth

Matesu = ma telo suli, long island

Mun Lake = mun, crescent

Meso = meso, central

Kililanalaneso Kitonlilanalaneso (I forgot the tonsi when I made the map) = kijetesantakalu tonsi li lanpan ala lanpan e soko

Malonte = ma telo lon telo

Kijetesantakalu Is. = itโ€™s shaped like the SP glyph for kijetesantakalu, what else can I say?

For the other stuff, I just named them based on Toki Pona words.
Feel free to criticise anything!

as someone pretty confident with most if not all contemporary vocab (in sitelen pona and sitelen Lasina) and generally decent with grammar, how should I get better at this?

I call them "Eka!TokiPona/Eka!TP", or jokingly "bathrobe toki pona" due to their outfit.

They are genderless and go by they/it/no pronouns.

I've been sending them across a few servers and on Twitter.

What is toki pona now?

41 Upvotes

Hello! I joined this subredditโ€ฆ a few years ago I think? When I first tried to learn tok, well, the community was kinda toxic, and the grammar made very little sense to me, so I gave up! (the limited lexicon was fine for me though? idk, ASD is weird in how it effects people).
So my question for the toki pona community, now that it seems to have settled down with Sonya Langโ€ฆ differently involved (idk what happened to be clear), what is toki pona now? are we still trying for lexical minimalism? are there still the weird things and classifications? is everyone more or less consistent on how the grammar and stuff work? idk, whatever else you think is important about the language or community? lol

im not trying to pick on anyone, and Iโ€™m aware that I came into the community at a weird time, and had an abnormal experience. I hope you well: mi li sina pona! (I think ;)

kama sona multiple prepositions?

12 Upvotes

when a sentence has multiple of a certain parts of speech, we have:
seme _en_ seme li ...
... li seme _li_ seme
... e seme _e_ seme

but what about multiple prepositions? especially if i wanted to use the same one twice, such as if i wanted to say "i do it for fun and learning" without making two sentences?

I had kulupu Lili / Lupa Insa Lawa Ike for IMP in my phraselist for forever, specifically for the jingle, but i guess i never got around to doing the actual song! and the new jingle is a NIGHTMARE to translate because of both the phone number, and the acronym, but i think i made it work!

reading lipu tenpo

4 Upvotes

I would try to write this in toki pona but my brain is worn out (lawa insa mi li weka?).

I feel like I know a lot of the meanings of toki pona words. I can follow simple grammar.

Almost all sentences in tenpo lipu are like a hard puzzle. I find myself thinking what are they talking about. At least tenpo lipu has an illustration with the articles. Getting near the right context helps a lot. Even after I think I have it figured out I still don't feel secure in what I think it might say.

Should I study the ku or something and learn possibilities for compound words? I often try to express things in toki pona when streaming shows. Sometimes it is just thinking jan when I see a person. Sometimes it is asking myself how to say Doctor or something. When I think something like "jan pi sijelo pona" I wonder if that would suffice or could that be a cosmotologist. Maybe that would be "jan pi sitelen pona".

Are people who are fluent in toki pona able to just read it and know what is being communicated? How do I know if I got it right? I did print it out and start making notes to help me try to figure things out. At least there are several little phrases that I immediately recognize.

Shoud I just ask about sentences here? I don't even know how to say that. Maybe sentence is a group of words like "kulupu nimi" or "nimi mute". I have no idea. I also don't know how much of a puzzle my speach would be for somebody else to figure out.
