Toki Pona Forums

Since Stephan stated in the Facebook group, I didn't forget "noka" also means "support". Then a more probable "verbification" for it would be "to support", but I seldom see any motion related to it. Only that it is the locomotion organ, but the locomotion itse...

Could we use: "mama pi ilo ni li pona"?

ante toki pi tawa toki pona:
"mi wile e ilo pi lukin kiwen. taso ona li wile pona tawa jan lili. ilo tan esun Tetetolo li pona ala pona?"

jan Atele o, lipu ni li pona ala tawa ni: jan li lawa e sina tawa ilo pona pi lukin kiwen. ni li lipu pi toki pona.

I don't know how to translate doce de goiaba (suwi kili?) to English... I like doce de goiaba alone. :lol: Why not this? Because I want to try another possibility. And because it seems too much separation of the bread and the coffee not to use "with" (I would surely get my point better if ...

Oh. So it seems they are just ambiguous. TP proverb: "toki lili li toki pona". I think the problem is not exactly with "en" and "anu" together, but only "anu". I've thought about using "poka" and "anu" but the same problem arises. Could &qu...

Last night, I was thinking about these connectives, anu and en, and their hierarchy in toki pona. What are the meanings of these sentences and phrases (if I'm getting them right)? mi wile e soweli en kala anu waso. ("I want [beef and fish] or chicken"?) mi wile e soweli e kala anu waso. (&...

Facebook publications are ephemeral but this forum is eternal! Here's the cited link: http://www.mauvecloud.net/charsets/hangulgenerator.html It converts latin script into Hangul. For it to match Kulisa's system (which is simplified, standardized, and adequate to Toki Pona) one must follow the follo...

I find that first one better. As for the second, it's not you feeling the head that implies she wants to take you, but she deliberately coming to you. One more alternative: "soweli mi li poka e lawa ona tawa sewi pi noka mi..." Think: she approximates her head to my leg. But I'm not sure t...

I find very strange to use "pana tawa" meaning "put on". I have two suggestions: soweli mi li lon sewi pi noka mi e lawa ona. — An obscure grammar alternative (Or the easier "soweli mi li lon e lawa ona lon sewi pi noka mi") soweli mi li pilin e sewi pi noka mi kepeken ...

Oh, I just wanted to preserve many aspects of the original, which include rather complex vocabulary at the mentioned sentence and no punctuation for improved ambiguity in some sentences. The author is part of a literary movement called Modernism which preaches, among other things, poetry has no obli...
