Question - the pu section on glyphs says that "a single adjective can be written inside or above the word it modifies" - does this apply to verbs and adverbs too? so for "I nibble fruit" being "mi moku lili e kili" can you write the "lili" glyph inside "...

The problem (or the solution) is that Lope still uses "poka" as a preposition, albeit with the same meaning as "lon poka (pi)". Pije, on the other side disapproves completely the usage of poka as preposition and says that "lon poka (pi)" is how you translate "with...

toki! Yesterday in this post https://www.facebook.com/groups/sitelen/permalink/1499348783452835/?comment_id=1500329210021459&notif_t=group_comment&notif_id=1504325426145302 in the Toki Pona Facebook group I asked: In the forums jan Lope says that Sonja confirmed to him via email that "o...

I have lost interest in following your personal toki nasa as it is willingly un-pu. Wow, that was harsh. I don't have proof that he uses un-pu grammar. He continues replying using pu rules.

But a "pi" phrase is not necessary here. pona! So, you're OK with: * "tan jan pona la" = "at good human cause" (with "tan" as a noun, but without "pi") But you are not OK with: * "tan jan pona la" = "because of a friend" (with &q...

Hey Lope, I agree that "tan jan seme la" could be read as "at which human cause"? (Here's another convoluted way to express "because of whom" for you: "jan tan seme la". Read it as "at which causing human". I could go on.) If you use "tan" ...
