Toki Pona Forums

How is pini used for that?

Idea for another definition of Sanku, spiky or sharp, by having this you can describe alot more things which were previously impossible.

At this point I think I should give up on toki pona and just stop procrastinating at making my own relatively simplistic language.

I honestly think we need to stop with trying to keep it at 120. "pu" is such an uneeded word, "esun" (in my opinion) could do with some revamping, and the kulupu already uses words that lipu pi toki pona (pu) says don't really count as words. Of course keeping it simple is great ...

Sanku comes from the georgian სამკუთხედი (samk'utkhedi). The reason it is based of georgian is because "ku" sounds like how slavic languages refer to shapes, and also sounds very similar to the major east asian languages refer to triangles. A possible sitelen pona symbol would be 2 triangl...

"tenpo seme" - literally "time what"

I have a new idea though - complex could also mean mechanical, as we have no way to talk about some mechanical things other than saying its useful or its moving.
