- I went down the Toki Pona rabbit hole and discovered that someone build what looks like a mini Toki Pona computer, or at least digital typewriter. I'm now contemplating if I need to learn Toki Pona :D

"toki Inli" is the English language btw. If the word starts with a capital, it is a name, meaning: you won't find it in the dictionary.
Noted. Thanks for that!
If you speak Esperanto it's seems to only a matter of time before one dabbles into Toki Pona. I like the sound of Toki Pona, I've toyed around with it a little. Maybe one day. There's so many interesting languages (and other things) to learn. Aside from Vietnamese (which I only picked since it's my wife's languages) I've been really interested in smaller languages. I don't even consider Esperanto in that category since the community is so active. I kinda want to learn an endangered language. Although it would be a bit like that guy from the Twilight Zone who finally can read all his books, but no glasses to read with. Study a beautiful, interesting, dying language, and no one to talk to. Oh well.
Oh yeah. Recently, I watched a Let's Play of the game "Sapiens" and they throw some Toki Pona in there. Don't know the dev's connection to the language, but cool to see it snuck in there.
I'm totally like you. There's so many other interesting things. I also have a book on my shelf that I pull down from time to time, dust off, and read through a little. It's a book on an aboriginal language from North Australia that is near extinct. I actually started learning it a little but would also stop when the realization hit that I'd have no one to talk to lol. I totally get that.
That is the most MEMORABLE Twilight Zone episodes of ALL time.
Toki Pona has another even cooler writing system usually called 'sitelen sitelen' which doesn't even look like writing. It's not nearly as common as the Latin script or sitelen pona but I still reckon you'll find it interesting if you didn't already know about it.
I'd never heard of sitelen sitelen until you mentioned it. I just looked it up and you're right it is WAY cooler. Okay, that would definitely be the system I would use haha.
@@Evildea I don't remember the url, but there's an online sitelen sitelen converter. You type in the toki pona text & it displays the sitelen sitelen. It uses SVGs to create & stack the glyphs. It even gives you the option to choose how compact you want it to be. it basically looks like Mayan glyphs.
@@Bahrta_sai oh nice! I’ll do some digging
It looks like an adorable Mayan. Not as severe but super pretty.
sina kama sona e toki pona la ni li pona wawa a! ^.^
mi wile e ni: mi kama sona e toki pona :)
Pretty sure toki inli is English
I did enjoy this video.
I became aware of Toki Pona three days ago. About an hour ago I finished making a set of flashcards on 3x5 cards with the hieroglyphs on the blank side and the Latin alphabet spelling on the top line of the lined side. This will allow me to learn the names of the hieroglyphs.
Once my book arrives, I can add the meanings of the words and their grammatical usages to the cards. This feels like a good start to learning Toki Pona and its hieroglyphs.
Very cool. The only conlang I know is Esperanto but they’re fun.
I can't claim to know Toki Pona. So Esperanto is my only conlang as well. Although will probably dedicate a little more time to Toki Pona to at least get the fundamentals down.
toki!
toki!

The sentence you tried to translate. I think the author meant: ‹All computers use English. I don’t like that. I want to make a computer that only uses Toki Pona.›
Oh thanks!
No

@@casperdewith i don't understand Toki Pona
@@CR_85 So what does your ‹no› reaction mean?
I used to be a real expert in esperanto but now I am quite rusty. I agree with all you say about toki pona. It's annoyingly vague but you could never get rusty in a language so small. It should be called toki lili.. 😂
ni li ilo seme?
ilo pi toki pona!?
wa pona
Yeap, a tool for using Toki Pona! Although it seems to have been discontinued :( My Toki Pona is not good enough yet to respond although I understand what you said :D
ĉu vi duonrusiiĝis en tio enkonduko? ... kaj ĉu mi fuŝis tion frazon?
(in case it did not make sense, i was trying to say "did you become-halfrussian in that intro? and did i fuŝ that sentence?" there's likely a more idiomatic way to say all of that)
I've struggled with toki pona because every word has so many meanings it's hard for me to remember them. I'm not sure the best way to approach it.
You and me both haha. I think a method where using images as opposed to words to translate concepts might work better for Toki Pona. I'm going to play around with that.
@@EvildeaI'm glad it's not just me. I thought I was being thick!
Nope, not just you! :D
Another person suggested jan Telakoman's course which is immersion-based, might work for you? I originally learnt aaaall the listed meanings and more if you count common compounds, but ultimately those meanings blurred into a general concept over time, so maybe jan Telakoman's thing where you could just get familiar with the direct meanings/concepts of the words would be good. I admittedly haven't watched the whole thing but have heard good things about it 🙂 It's kind of like, the English translations are a signpost to the meaning of the word, just trust the depth of the word.
I'm enjoying this video course so far. It's bringing the language more alive for me and learning compounds actually helps me strengthen my understanding of each element.
Mi moku.
sina moku e seme?
nasa ala la, jan pi nimi "dea ike" li ike!
ante la, sina wile kama sona e toki pona la sitelen tawa "o pilin e toki pona" tan jan Telakoman li pona mute. ona li kepeken toki pona taso li pana e sona kon kepeken sitelen kepeken ijo poka.
(not strangely, the person of the name "bad dea" is bad!
also, if you want to learn toki pona, the videos "o pilin e toki pona" from jan Telakoman are very good. They use only toki pona, and give meaning with pictures and surrounding things)
Thanks! I'll check out the video course and see if it works for me :D
Love Toki Pona, just get the official book by Sonja Lang, there is actually a copy of the book to learn Toki Pona but it's written completely in Esperanto haha
I plan to pickup books once I've got a handle on the language. I like learning via comprehensible input so been following a video course for that :D
Oh so good, hope you enjoy rediscovering TP, you might find the online community has grown a lottt the last few years@@Evildea
It has definitely grown which is why I've re-engaged :D
