toki kepeken/lon toki ante
pilin lili e ijo pi jan ante
no 'pi' with numbers and 'nanpa'
olin e jan
jan pi tan kulupu
don't need or want 'lon' with predicate 'mute' and 'lili'
'sitelen' not needed, must the thought be written?
unpa e jan
don't need 'e sina tawa' but it makes an interesting construction
pilin e ijo again

I wanted to say that a man thinks little about a person from another group. Not just about another person.
Is it possible to say it in such way: jan li pilin lili e ijo pi jan pi kulupu ante ?
Or even leave it as it was: jan li pilin lili tan(becouse of) jan pi kulupu ante ?
janKipo wrote: jan pi tan kulupu
Why should we use "pi" here?
jan(man) tan(from) kulupu(group). Looks ok. No?
janKipo wrote: 'sitelen' not needed, must the thought be written?
I wanted to say: image the picture. o pilin e sitelen.
janKipo wrote: don't need 'e sina tawa' but it makes an interesting construction
It was the idiom.
The English version would be: Put yourself in place of a person from another group(like ""put yourself in his shoes"")

Is it just your suggestion but not a strict rule? Because everybody uses it

Sorry, I shortened it to stress the point. The full form is 'pilin lili e ijo pi jan pi kulupu ante'. 'pilin tan jan' (shortened) doesn't work for "think about", since the cause of thinking is rarely the topic: the accident made him think about death, for example.
'
'tan kulupu' modifies 'jan' and is a unit of more than one word, so it requires 'pi' by a general principle. The only exception is numbers, including nowadays ordinals.

The "don't needs" just missed the literary moves being made. Nice stuff!

the change with 'nanpa' was gradual and only recently firmly in place. Always remember that Pije's book is over 10 years old and before there was an active tp community to influence its form. Similarly, pu was written largely ignoring that community and sticking to Sonja's usage
