Toki Pona Forums

Oh well. I love the idea of no pronouns.

This is really neat. Any updates on this?

Brainstorming off your suggestions...

lawa pi soweli mi li kama lon sewi pi noka mi
la ona li wile kama jo e mi tan sina.

Another possibility...

mi pilin e lawa pi soweli mi lon sewi pi noka mi
la ona li wile kama jo e mi tan sina.

I would submit one of your versions but I wouldn't feel right.

Thank you! Those are all good suggestions, much less clumsy than what I wrote.

yes.

i often forget to mention this (and sometimes i feel it's not worth mentioning), but everything i write is CC-BY 4.0.

i'm honored? unless you're trying to illustrate bad toki pona. either way, glad to help!

thank you.

soweli mi en sina

soweli mi li pana e lawa ona tawa sewi pi noka mi
la ona li wile kama jo e mi tan sina.

my dog and you

when my dog puts her head on top of my leg,
she wants to take me from you.

criticism would be much appreciated as i want to submit this to this wonderful site

"He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man."

i would say:

jan soweli li pilin ala e ike pilin jan.

thanks.

(wtf was i thinking when i wrote this?)

Thanks! I thought about 'tomo soweli' or 'tomo waso' but it just doesn't make as much sense in context that way. Similarly, 'ever' might have been possible (not sure how), but probably not necessary, and maybe even implied in this case. I agree that "nest" is fuzzier than "tomo'... :(...
