Re: mani anpa li pona
Well, yes,, this is a problem but mainly an English one, not a tp one. In tp, ‘kin’ is used to emphasize words and what they are emphasized for depends on context. So, the stress may be on similarity “Mali tli tawa; Paki’ ‘mi kin’. “Mary is going to Paris” “Me, too”. Or it may be for contrast ‘Mali ...

Re: mi ante e lipu "The Prophet/El Profeta" tawa toki pona!
I confess I cannot stand to read very many sntences of Gibran at a sitting, so this mya be badly split up, dependon on how well it goes as tp. ‘wawa ona li kama tan poki suli pi ali kon. wawa ni li ali mute li wawa mute tan ni. taso ona li selo e wawa ni kepeken toki pona ona.’ (No KG,so bearable fo...

Noted. messing with this does that so long as you continue to be guided by tp rules, which just don’t work ever.

Re: A question to Buddhists
No clear that you can fuse imperatives, i.e., that ‘o kama jo e ijo ala li lon e (insa pi) lawa sina’ is grammatical. In adition, ‘lon’ is a prepsoition, so doesn’t take ‘e’. maybe just ‘o jo e ijo ala lon insa pi lawa sina’ “Empty your mind” (roughly, a ‘kama’ would probably help) Not sure what ‘lo...

btw “Kalili’ is not a legitimate tp word, either ‘Kali’ or ‘Kalilii’ (or some other vowel).

Re: toki! mi jan Kaja
tp is a bit murky, so every detail possible needs to be givne. Thus, every sentence needs a agent subject, even if its on “somebody”. It is easy to reproduce passive ine tp , just use the corresponding actives (this get a bit messy with modifiers, but its’s good practice).

Re: mi ante e toki sitelen pi mi
prob ‘’pini sitelen’ “finish writing’ rather than ‘stelen pini’ “write completely’. more like ‘ni’, the whole event, than ‘ona’ some little part of it prepositional phrases go after direct object (‘e’) so ‘e ijo lili ... tawa toki pona’. the dash hasn’t beeen define for tp cpmpounds so this is just ...

Re: A few haiku of Matsuo Basho in Toki Pona
Very nice. Grammatically, only the ‘e’ missing before ‘tenpo' in the first one is a problem, which is going to screw up the whole structure. Otherwise. there is the question of why the worm is copulating with the nut (or whatever is going on). As a spcification of ‘pipi’ worms are usually ‘linja’ (c...
