jan ali o! toki! nimi mi li Nesa. tenpo suno ni, mi open toki ni toki. mi kepeken https://en.m.wikibooks.org/wiki/Updated ... 7s_lessons . mi jan sin. mi pilin awen ala, toki li sama tawa utala alesi. Jan ali o pona e toki ike mi!
Some questions: how to talk about fear, scary things, etc in tp?
Toki!
Re: Toki!
kama pona tawa toki pona. taso
'open toki e toki ni' (speak this message") or 'open toki lon/kepeken toki ni' ("speak this language")
'pilin awen ala' "don't feel continuing"?
'toki li sama tawa utala alasa' "talking/language is like going to a hunters war"?
While still in dispute, it appears that 'mi monsuta e ona' is "I am afraid of him/her/it". And 'monsuta' as a noun means "fear" and also "monster". 76 Lessons doesn't have 'monsuta', I think, but it is commonly used anyhow (pu doesn't have it either).

Re: Toki!
Okay, here is what I meant to say:
Hey everybody! My name is Nessa. Today I started to speak this language. I'm using these lessons. I'm new, I feel a little not safe/unsure, talking is like a battle/ a big event/ really hard. Everybody feel free to fix my mistakes!
Tenpo suno pini ni, mi open toki kepeken toki ni.
What about mi pilin monsuta lili for I feel a little afraid?

I'm new. Go ahead and correct my tp liberally.
Re: Toki!
Or just 'Mi monsuta lili'
We tend toward in specific and just say 'mi Pilin ike', leaving context to explain what sort of Ike is involved. "Like a battle" is 'sama utala', as you sorta have; it is the trim that is confusing. A big event is 'Kama suli', "hard" in this sense, "difficult" is 'Ike pali', "bad to do".
