Can't wait for more toki pona videos! It's so nice to have a youtuber in the community who actually does the research and participates, but also isn't just a learning resource, like you were saying
lipu su li lon a! IAs you highlight, most conlangs are used to talk about the conlang itself, and it is awesome that su ain't like that and brings more toki pona content to the world. It's fantastic that there's more and more stories in toki pona and content which doesn't just focus on the mechanics of the language itself (selfish plug: I myself run a toki pona VLog here). I 100% agree that The Wizard of Oz is an absolutely perfect story to kick start a book series. So, everyone, go and get your copy of the book! o su!
Today is day 10 of my Toki Pona journey. Two days ago, I received my copies of pu and ku from Amazon. Your 1st video was amazingly helpful. My attempts at Journaling mirror yours. Journaling with the glyphs really struck a cord with me! I have already purchased my journal. Since 2nd grade, I have been a fan of the Oz books. L. Frank Baum wrote 14 before he passed. Ruth Plumly Thompson wrote an additional 14 before she passed. And I have read all of them! So when you said that su is The Wizard of Oz written in glyphs, you just sent my motivation through the roof! Thank you so very much for both of your videos!!!
One of the best ways to learn a language is to practice by consuming media! More toki pona books would be a great way to help and expand the community!
I feel like a neat book idea that could utilize toki pona for its narrative would be for a pseudo dairy, where the narrator is intentionally narrating their life in toki pona as a means of privacy, or in a story where two characters who are super close use the language for personal communication. Idk, the use of such an obscure language makes me think of themes regarding privacy, deep bonds, and opening up to new people.
yea i realized i could've phrased that better, my original intention was to be saying "tawa pona" as in sonja was leaving the convo, but i realize now it looks more like the other way around
ehh it still works without an explicit "mi tawa" to respond to, as long as the other party is in fact going to tawa (which i don't think a lipu can :p)
in the past, ku suli has shaped what words have gotten more or less prevalent based on what was categorized as "ku suli", establishing the 137 core words, so mi la, there's 139 core words in toki pona now! (+ su and majuna) as nimi su

sina wile pali e toki pona tu tenpo ni Also I am SO EXCITED for su! Now I'm wondering what all the other titles will be used for... (ju, lu, nu, u) I hope you have a fun time reading the book Oats!
I had heard about Toki Pona a really long time ago and since then I were interested in it. But I never really tried to learn it and I think that after watching your videos I will
(Bc en is not and, you can't use it to link concepts - "su ni en tenpo kama la su ante" would be interpreted as "with regards to this su and the coming time, different su", which also works!) Thank you for this one too :D yayyyyyy su yippee friends mentioned Yayyy
there's another issue, in "nasin pali e su", e doesn't just make modifiers or other words into having their transitive verb meanings and doesn't really make sense gramatically if it's not in a full sentence, not in standard nasins of toki pona anyways. (the concept of a verb form that functions as a noun (which in english is with -ing) doesn't exist in toki pona, you just use the noun meaning) as you probably know, the correct term there would instead be "nasin pi pali su", which instead of "way of creating this book", literally means "way of creation of this book", which essentially says the same thing.
It's a comparison that you see people mention a lot at first glance, but really it's not actually close at all. toki pona gives you a deeper understanding of the things you talk about, by focusing on describing the important parts instead of having tons of set jargon. Newspeak was created to have very rigid and specific meanings to make certain ideas impossible. Really the only thing in common is that they're small
So, the book titles, pu ku su...that makes up tokiponafication of the word 'books', right? I remember reading rice boy when it was first coming out, so cool that he's illustrating this too! mi wili lukin e su!
First of all, it's tokiponization. Second, no, that's a myth. The word pu was created for unknown reasons, but then jan Sonja decided to rhyme all her books with pu, creating ku and su, but if you look at the ku book, it will show you that future books will be known as ju, lu, nu, and u. This means that pukusu isn't the full version of the series. Once ju, lu, nu, and u are taken, I don't know what the future books might be called, but who knows, it could be ඞu...
4:25 you can't put "la" in a subject. What you wrote is more like "in the context of this su and the coming time, different su," which doesn't make much sense. I think what you're going for would be more like "su ni li lon. su ante li kama"
considering how learning toki pona took a month creating a whole conlang that at the very least isn't smaller than toki pona would probably take more than that
Should Toki Pona become the official human language in your World #2 ? Everyone keep their nice language (not all sound nice, but still) but the universal language is Toki Pona.
By now we could say that "oto jenkins"(Toki pona but with english souds) editor or he(if he doesn't have an editor) is a one piece fan or just a watcher
i remember 1 or 2 videos ago, you mentioned fixing football. i know you are a busy man, but i would like to recommend the web series 17776 for that, it makes a lot of modifications to american football that you might want to look at.

I started learning toki pona about ten days ago. Very satisfying. And it's changing the way I think about English.
1:04 I know it’s jokes but the little HAI jab is kinda funny
I still quote so many of the errors in that video “poki loje lon sinpin li poki tawa” is my favorite though
"tawa pona" is a response to "mi tawa" and not standalone "Goodbye", but only if the other says "mi tawa" (I am going) you say "tawa pona" (go good).
yea i realized i could've phrased that better, my original intention was to be saying "tawa pona" as in sonja was leaving the convo, but i realize now it looks more like the other way around

lmao trying to decode what he was saying hurted my brain a little but i guess it technically gets the message across
To be honest the language sounds like newspeak form 1984 but not used to suppress people speech and thoughts
Ive heard it described aa "Lib-left Newspeak" before, couldnt tell you wherw
there are a lot of straight up anarchists in the community so i find the comparisons to newspeak very funny
It's a comparison that you see people mention a lot at first glance, but really it's not actually close at all. toki pona gives you a deeper understanding of the things you talk about, by focusing on describing the important parts instead of having tons of set jargon. Newspeak was created to have very rigid and specific meanings to make certain ideas impossible. Really the only thing in common is that they're small
Newspeak allows for few specific words, while Toki Pona allows for few general words.
we do joke about newspeak quite a bit but they're not equivalent because they have completely opposite goals and philosophies

Make Oats Jenkins 2.( you could do it after fixing the world also u can take however time you need )
