Second Life tp community active or not?

Post by janAetherStar »

Is the tp community on Second Life feasibly active with some members or not? About how many people are there?

Don't need 'pi' with 'nanpa tu'.

i'm on there, the community seems dead for years, we have to build something new.

i bet i won't have the time before the week end. Try to find Kuti or jankuti and add me as friend, i'll share some items related to tokipona.
We could also use the language, wich suits really well a 3D environnement.

Will do :D But unfortunately I can't until the 23rd (NZ time) because of a lack of bandwidth, but I will when I can.

Can someone please give me a quick grammar lesson? On this site, ordinal numbers use a 'pi'

So why 'lon ale nanpa tu' rather than 'lon ale pi nanpa tu'?

Theoretically, prescriptively, any modifier of more than one word requires 'pi'. But the rule is "violated" even in the textbook for numbers: 'jan tu wan', not 'jan pi tu wan', for "three people." In practice, this exception has been generalized somewhat to cover other enumerations: 'jan mute mute' for "very many people" (probably aided by the ambiguity of "many, many people"). It then extended to other numerical expressions, ordinals in particular; so 'jan nanpa tu wan' "third person". In this last case, the 'pi' is still optional (as it may be in the second case as well, though no one seems to use it). So, prescriptively, 'pi' is required, descriptively rarely used.
