Re: (untitled poem about milk tea)
This got discussed somewhere else, whether 'weka' really does or can mean "go away". It looks like it is coming to whether it is proper or not. The usual would have 'tawa', but this is poetry. mi jo e toki ala. See above. "my parental wet hot water" I suppose at least 'telo seli...

(untitled poem about milk tea)
This poem is one in a series of four poems I wrote for a teahouse I frequent. Each poem is written in a different language. This is the TP poem (obviously).
jan li kama li weka
tenpo li kama li weka
telo seli telo mama mi li pini
taso sona mi pi sina li weka ala
jan li kama li weka
tenpo li kama li weka
telo seli telo mama mi li pini
taso sona mi pi sina li weka ala

Re: A food magazine?
I'm not really thinking of recipes, since I know how tricky it is to write one in TP (I have a feeling jan Mato tried my recipe for water spinach in oyster sauce ;) ). Maybe more on food-related essays and/or something about Filipino food and food culture (Pancit, Munggo, Laing, Budol fight, Meriend...

A food magazine?
So I remember back in the days when the LiveJournal community was THE place for TPists to be. I used to do a weekly on food there (some of the articles even made it to jan Mato's relexifier). Those were the days. How different the TP community is then and now. I do make an effort to support this uni...

Re: Forum up again
"musi" can mean games, yes. But it can also mean literature (which is the intended meaning). This is the translation used on the board index (I'm sure you noticed that...)
And yes, I did forget.

@janKipo: jan Pinsen already figured that out. It is Tagalog.

Re: "mi wile moli", a poem written using five different writing systems and inspired by rage
@janKipo: Not all reptiles, just snakes. In the Philippines, certain animals are used as metaphors to describe people (e.g. pigs [baboy] refer to slobs, turtles [pagong] for slow-moving people, crocodiles [buwaya] for corrupt people [usually government officials, hehe]). Snakes (ahas) refer to trait...

Re: "mi wile moli", a poem written using four different writing systems and inspired by rage
I don't suppose blood is absent (weka) but rather flows (tawa) or goes away (kama weka). I did consider 'tawa' at first, but it made more sense (to me) for blood to leave (weka). "the ugly man and the horny man" doesn't fit in grammatically but is supposed to be (I think) appopsitive to &...

@janPinsen: ilo li pona ala. taso, ni li musi.
@janKipo: I've always used "toki Pilipina" to refer to Tagalog, since Filipino is (quite simply) standardized Tagalog. On a side note, I do speak some Cebuano.
