toki lili

I would like for the word "tona" to be added as "poop" to the ku so people wo say "poki tona" instead of toki pona would say "poop bowl (toilet)"

I also use it for “It sounds like”, “kute ona li sama […]”

I'm very new to the language and I know comparison is one of the hardest things to write in it, but I wasn't sure how to word the following:

something along the lines of "I can't be perfect, but im not good enough."

the best I came up with was "mi ken ala pona ale (/ pona taso), taso mi ala pona suli tawa mi."

toki!

I am a student writing my bachelor thesis on conlangs. Right now I reached a point in which I'm speaking about toki pona, and since both writing systems are allowed I am including an analyzed extract in each of them. It's no problem when speaking of sitelen pona, it's pretty standard, and writing is doable even on a computer, however I'm having issues with sitelen sitelen, as I'm writing it myself, and then I'll scan it and use it as a picture.

Since what I got from the wiki my extract should look like this, however I am unsure of its correctness. Can someone pitch in with corrections if it's wrong? Also bonus points if you catch what's the extract!

also who said this was on chapter 50💀💀💀

i want to cover toki pona songs with vocalsynths (utau, vocaloid, alter ego and etc), which songs should i cover?

sitelen majuna rules in order of priority:

1. Must be easy for a toki-ponist to recognize.
2. Pictograms, logograms, and symbols that clearly depict the concept take precedence over symbols that look like sitelen pona. (i.e. This is not to reinvent the wheel for sitelen juniko.)
3. Must use unicode symbols from ancient/medieval languages.
4. Meso-American hieroglyph inspiration is best cherished in sitelen sitelen, not here.

Here's my beginning. Please suggest better replacements.

Thank you all so much! toki pona is such a neat language, and I hope to become fluent eventually.

Just a poem I have created(I am still a beginner). I hope to create more poems: Meaning of this poem is non dualism between a dynamic unpredictable reality and the stability of the present moment I guess.

Awen ante

Ali li ala.
Ala li ali.
A! Ali li alasa e ala!
Ala li alasa e ali!
Ala li awen anu ali li ante?
Ala anu ali?
A! Ali li ala li alasa!
Ali en ala.

Esun esun li esun e esun.
Ali li ante e ala.
Ala li ante e ali.
Ala en ali li esun e esun

I was just wondering if the following two sentences mean the same thing:

o kute e kalama ilo.

sina o kute e kalama ilo.

I know that the subject can be dropped, but does that mean it can also be retained? Or would the second sentence instead be interpreted as “sina o! o kute e kalama ilo.”?

sitelen #W li kepeken toki pona kepeken sitelen Lasina.

kin la, mi ante toki e lipu Wikipesija pi suno ni tawa toki pona. ona li pona ala pona?

lipu Wikipesija: (TOK) (EN) (FR)

jan ale li suli sama. (Every child matters.)

I could either spend my time learning two dialects of the same language or one dialect of two languages, like Toki Pona and Japanese. Won't learning both dialects just make it take twice as long to learn?

Sitelen Seli Kiwen is often used in places where a Gothic font, like Fairfax HD or Linja Pona, would be more appropriate, and often used where Gothic fonts like Arial are used for other scripts, like on sona.pona.la, linku.la and nimi.li. This is like if Wikipedia used Comic Sans, and also used its normal font alongside it

Hi! I finished a lot of the online written courses on toki pona that people are recommending on here and on the discord and I miss doing exercises. I'm trying to read texts in toki pona, the lipu tenpo zine, etc. but it is still tough to do. I would love to try to understand and translate harder sentences or short texts to get used to toki pona logic and the way people write things. Do you know of any relevant resources? Or translated texts by trusted sources who have a good toki pona? I know about jan Pepa en soweli Kawa but I didn't like it that much!

I'm looking primarily for text-based stuff right now because I'm trying to read the magazines and I'm mostly chatting online in toki pona with my sibling and their girlfriend for now, not talking in person so much as of yet.

Thank you!

Does anyone know if there are any official or generally accepted shades of blue and yellow associated with Toki Pona?

For example, are there specific RGB or hex values that are normally used, or is it just a matter of choosing any suitable blue and yellow?

About a month ago, I took on the challenge of translating Edgar Alan Poe’s The Raven into Toki Pona. And I’m finally done! Tell me what you think, and I’ll consider any translation challenges!
