That's true. I listen to Esperanto and Toki Pona music. That's my favourite genre LMAO Jen la vero. Mi aŭskultas esperantan kaj tokiponan muzikon. Tio estas mia plejŝatata muzikĝendro TMDR
The first time I listened to it, I felt such a wave of pure nerdy cringe. The good cringe, which is ungodly rare, so it was easy to get through. Now, though, I can't stop listening to it. I'm gonna need to actually learn Toki Pona at this rate, because I actually can't stop listening to this song. It actually sticks in your head incredibly well. Well, it would, if I knew the words. You know what I mean.
I've been trying and failing to get into conlanging for a while now. Actually learning a conlang first might be a good first step, and Toki Pona is apparently very easy to learn.
I'm choosing to interpret "toki ni li jo e nimi ni" as "this song has all of these words:", meaning that this is actually a meta-song that lists all of the words within it in the order they appear. Both because it's funny and because it's something I think jan Misali would do.
Actually I was listening again and I think it has both meanings! He says "toki ni li jo e nimi ni: toki pona!" (this language has these words: toki pona), but then in a later chorus he says "toki ni li jo e nimi ni: nimi ale lon toki pona!" (this [spoken] text contains these words: all the words in toki pona). It's a pretty clever use of toki pona's vagueness to create a double meaning in translation.
Im losing my FUCKING mind this is gonna be the only thing playing in my brain for the next WEEK im going to make an acoustic cover of this im going insane
@@glitchy9613 Well, basically me and him apparently like the same youtubers, and he always manages to find me in the comments. We have a tradition of commenting "the game" under each others comments, a tradition which probably goes back like 8 or so years. It's been so long that I've forgotten how it even started lmfao
Thanks for putting quite some effort into this video. Also, I will never listen to this song, lest I die from cringe. Also also, Keep up the great work!!

EDIT: updated some word choices and grammar
I have some things that I interpreted differently that I want to share with you. Are these valid? 1) "toki musi" at the very beginning- I interpreted that as artistic talk- so, rap/singing. 2) "musi ni" I interpeted not as "this funny song" but as "this song(lit. art)". 3) "toki ni li jo e nimi ni"- I interpreted toki in this context to mean language, so "this language has these words" 4) "taso, ona li pali la ale li pona" I interpreted this as "but if it works, then all is good!" That's it. Everything else I translated the same way! I'm not so confident in the accuracy of my translations, so o pana e sona tawa mi!
I just spent the day playing Minecraft in toki pona and I can confidently say I understood a good chunk of these words and that my intuitive interpretations were mostly spot on with what I thought the words meant.
I wish there was a video of this without the words or definitions so I can send it to my friends with no context claiming it’s a banger and they’re just caught fully off guard
My goodness, the pure "dweeby" energy in this. Genuinely wonderful. And yeah, the fact that you did this for us, make a song with toki pona words with the intention of genuinely being able to teach toki pona to people that want to. And might I add, even if I wouldn't want to, I would inevitably learn a whole bunch of the words anyway because the song itself is just so nice to listen to. But yes I am genuinely interested in toki pona now. In fact, just conglans as a whole. And I have to say, your series, Conlang Critic, is really, really great! Like I literally never knew what any of this is, but now, I am all in man. So thank you jan Misali for introducing me to conlangs and toki pona, and for the work you do on your videos, they are very well researched and put together, and your style of video is very calming as well.
one thing i love about the translation is that "kala pi kama suli" (pufferfish) can be interpreted both as "fish that gets big" and "fish that will be important" because of its use in water breathing potions
i mean,, misali (OP) is non-binary themselves and said on a vid of theirs that "tonsi" is their fav word from the nimi pi ku suli (sorry if i messed up the words,, it'sthe 137 words from ku)
As I was learning the song I wrote the lyrics. I finished the lyrics, the memorization not yet: toki! ni la mi toki musi e nimi ale pi toki pona! sina ken kute taso. _mi_ pali e ijo suli. mi o open! jan li wile awen sona e nimi! la ona li wile kute e musi ni! mi, sina, ni, ona olin, musi, suwi, pona li, e, la, pi, o anu, en, seme, ijo toki ni li jo e nimi ni toki pona! ni li nasin nasa pi kama sona taso, ona li pali la ale li pona kule, lukin, kalama, kute ala, wan, tu, mute soweli, akesi, pipi, waso kala, loje, jelo, laso toki ni li jo e nimi ni nimi ale lon toki pona! moli, utala, pakala, ike nena, lupa, leko, sike lon, tan, kepeken, tawa luka, noka, sijelo, lawa o kama sona! o kama sona!

it would've been cool if for the final "nime ale lon" they followed it up with a tiny bit of static and them saying "upekosi" and yupekosi would flash on screen
this is extremely cute and silly i love it it sounds very good, too! mi kute suli e musi sona ni (i think that says what i want it to, still learning!)
Why do people thing their name is Jan ughhh mi wile moli. Wish there were more high profile tp speakers so people would figure out jan comes before literally every tp name but I guess this is just a fact of life

I typically save songs I want to listen to to a variety of playlists, including a general music playlist, either instrumental or lyrical, and then if it does have lyrics, one for the language it’s in. For now, until I learn the language better, this will be the only song in my toki pona playlist
Here's my attempt to find 137 appropriate 漢字 for the tokirap. They're all based on commonly-used 漢字 in Hokkien, my native language, so they may be different from Mandarin or Japanese-based 漢字. These were chosen for their Hokkien meanings (mostly), but some of them also sound like the target toki pona word. I tried my best to make them look distinct. 名逐佇話好 nimi ale lon toki pona 話！這才我話爽共名逐兮話好！ 汝會耳但。我創共物大。 我喔開！ toki! ni la mi toki musi e nimi ale pi toki pona! sina ken kute taso. mi pali e ijo suli. mi o open! 人是欲咧知共名， 才伊是欲耳共爽這！ jan li wile awen sona e nimi, la ona li wile kute e musi ni! 我汝這伊，愛爽媠好。 是共才兮喔，抑交啥物。 mi sina ni ona, olin musi suwi pona. li e la pi o, anu en seme ijo. 話這是有共名這： 話好！ toki ni li jo e nimi ni: toki pona! 這是路痟兮來知。 但，伊是創，才逐是好！ ni li nasin nasa pi kama sona. taso, ona li pali, la ale li pona! 色看聲耳，無一兩濟。 貓龍蟲鳥，魚紅黃青。 kule lukin kalama kute, ala wan tu mute. soweli akesi pipi waso, kala loje jelo laso. 話這是有共名這： 名逐佇話好！ toki ni li jo e nimi ni: nimi ale lon toki pona! 死拍破歹，山空塊圓。 佇為用去，手跤身頭。 moli utala pakala ike, nena lupa leko sike. lon tan kepeken tawa, luka noka sijelo lawa. 喔來知！喔來知！啊！ 喔來知！喔來知共 名逐佇話好！ o kama sona! o kama sona! a! o kama sona! o kama sona e nimi ale lon toki pona! 面線內外，膏石氣水。 頂下前後，人女男佗。 supa linja insa selo, ko kiwen kon telo. sewi anpa sinpin monsi, jan meli mije tonsi. 好！這才兩共路！ 但，爽是了無。 我喔咧！ pona! ni la mi tu e nasin! taso, musi li pini ala. mi o awen! 爿路規包，字名冊話。 冰火大細，草飯食果。 poka nasin kulupu poki, sitelen nimi lipu toki. lete seli suli lili, kasi pan moku kili. 名逐濟手手手兩但才 人逐是會佇規兮話好！ nimi ale mute luka luka luka tu taso la jan ale li ken lon kulupu pi toki pona! 痟別對𫝛，睏厝創母。 塗日月支，機第知揣。 nasa ante jasima sama, lape tomo pali mama. ma suno mun palisa, ilo nanpa sona alasa. 好啊！喔食共氣。名濟濟但是來。 喔耳好！ pona a! o moku e kon. nimi mute mute taso li kama. o kute pona! 來開咧了，欲店箍截。 予有提時，欠屎逐中。 心喙使目，會新閣菇。 kama open awen pini, wile esun mani kipisi. pana jo lanpan tenpo, weka jaki ale meso. pilin uta unpa oko, ken sin namako soko. 喔來知！喔來知！啊！ 喔來知！喔來知共 名逐佇話好！ o kama sona! o kama sona! a! o kama sona! o kama sona e nimi ale lon toki pona! 布但光暗，呣勇啊驚。 唔嘛藥𠢕，講本句熊。 len taso walo pimeja, mu wawa a monsuta. n kin misikeke epiku, kokosila pu ku kijetesantakalu. 話這是有共名這： 名逐佇話好！ 話這是有共名這： 名逐佇話好！ 話這是有共名這： 名逐佇話好！ 話這是有共名這： 名逐佇 話好！ toki ni li jo e nimi ni: nimi ale lon toki pona! toki ni li jo e nimi ni: nimi ale lon toki pona! toki ni li jo e nimi ni: nimi ale lon toki pona! toki ni li jo e nimi ni: nimi ale lon toki pona!
I already loved this song just for the concept and the catchy beat ("toki ni li jo e nimi ni" sounds great rapped, with or without comprehension), but today I decided to translate the lyrics, and found out it's also hilarious! jan Misali li toki e ni: musi li pini ala. lon, tawa mi!
Wait a minute... about halfway through the song, it's stated "nimi ale mute luka luka tu taso". Shouldn't that be "nimi ale mute luka luka luka tu taso"? I believe there are 137 nimi ku suli, not 132
@Emperor Dodd that was a result of prioritizing "taso" over an accurate number of words (and i guess sacrificing numerical accuracy for information is very much in the spirit of the language)

This is way better than the original Pokérap. I went and listened to it, and it was not even close to this masterpiece.

THANK YOU you're a real one
I love how all the toki pona relevant ones are at the end
Thanks mate!
this is absolutely amazing, truly the peak of kalama musi
someone put this on the radio
New radio shows?
jan o pana e ni lon ilo pi kalama weka.
Then Toki Pona will have new radio shows!
@@EnriqueLaberintico yotube translate had a stroke trying to comprehend that
genuinely a banger. absolutely gonna study with this lmao
I can't wait for this song to be spammed in the toki pona discord voice chat and for my brain to wile moli
Lmao, brains will pa in toki uta
What did the internet do to deserve Mitch? This is beautiful
I was waiting for the kijetesantakalu, my favorite
it would've been cool if for the final "nime ale lon" they followed it up with a tiny bit of static and them saying "upekosi" and yupekosi would flash on screen
Of course the only word I took from this video was unpa.
unpa a! pakala a! nimi ike li musi mute anu seme?
@@vanderkarl3927 wait im sorry does that say "isn't the bad word funny?" after "unpa a! pakala a!"
@@sinusoidalwave
lon a, sona sina pi toki pona li wawa
(yes)
@@vanderkarl3927 aaaAAAA THATS SO COOL THANKS your knowledge in toki pona is also powerful !!!!!! have a good day !!!
Damn this goes hard
We should screenshot all the lyrics
he spittin
I left TH-cam playing when i went to sleep and this is what i woke up to?? What is this
bruh
nimi ale lon toki pona
I suppose you think this is cute
because it is!
But still, you're a fraud
@@mmmmmmmmmmmmm Yea but a cute fraud tho right?
ah, toki pona. the language with the largest Klinklang community.
1:55 I guess redditors only have to learn 119/120 of the words
it's E5 (137) words
Someone's gotta get translation captions up before the algorithm finds this...
I wasn't expecting this, but I love it! Absolute banger!
this is extremely cute and silly i love it
it sounds very good, too!
mi kute suli e musi sona ni (i think that says what i want it to, still learning!)
if you wanted to say that you listen to this song a lot, a better translation would be mi kute _mute_ e musi sona ni
I wonder if I can try making a diss track using toki pona 😈😈😈
i love the fact that some of the words that are generaly in the same category are right next to eachother, like ala wan tu mute, that especialy
This is unfairly catchy and fun, and I say that as someone who doesn't think much of toki pona. Good job. :P
I think I heard this on a radio show.
stephen hawking has been real quiet since this dropped
He’s been suspiciously quiet about toki pona since the beginning imo
putting both toki and pona at the end of a line was a good decision
THIS SHOULD BE TRENDING!!!
This has raised the distinct possibility that "jan misili" is actually toki pona for something, which is delightful
jan Misali means "person Misali" where Misali is just their name with toki pona phonology
Awesome, thank you :)
...i guess that means in another comment i basically said "good work person" when i was trying to congratulate Misali in specific lol
Why do people thing their name is Jan ughhh mi wile moli. Wish there were more high profile tp speakers so people would figure out jan comes before literally every tp name but I guess this is just a fact of life
I just found out today why jan wasn't captialized LMAO I was very delighted
that bass is dummy thicc
Tokipali jan, i got an ad for somebody's rap album in front of this video, so you're a real rapper
strong musical debut you have there
This feelings this song gives me are the emotional equivalent of shrimp colors.
im writing an essay on toki pona right now and this is my emotional support for it
How'd it go
pona suno pi toki pona!
I wonder that caused the decision to have the BPM be faster than the Pokérap?
since most of what jan misali is saying are 1 to 3 syllable words, i felt like a faster bpm would help the rhythm of the lyrics carry more
This video fills my heart with joy (and pure dork-energy)
mi pilin pona mute tan ni: sina pana e nimi ku ale lon kalama musi ni. tenpo pini la mi kama sona e toki pona kepeken sitelen tawa mute sina. mi wile toki e ni: sina pona. taso, tenpo kama la sina o pali e sitelen tawa sin mute pi toki pona! :)
BARS
Omg I was thinking of doing this same thing for the Lojban laldygi'u but you beat me to the punch xD
misekeke, epiku, kokosila, pu, ku, kijetesantakalu HITS SO HARD!!
this has no reason to be as banging as it is
I typically save songs I want to listen to to a variety of playlists, including a general music playlist, either instrumental or lyrical, and then if it does have lyrics, one for the language it’s in. For now, until I learn the language better, this will be the only song in my toki pona playlist
big fan of this
Sina pali e seme?
Toki pona sina li pona suli
absolute banger
You are literally gale from breaking bad irl
epiku a!
tenpo ni la mi kama sona e nimi namako kepeken kalama musi sina!
This is gonna fit right in with my anime Op playlist
Life is like a mop.
2:14 Nu... "kokosila"... mi pensas, ke mi konas similan vorton esperante MDR
that's because sonja borrowed it from it
@@katie-ampersand Just like "mi", "ijo", "ilo", "tenpo" etc. :-)
The only thing you get via learning language in this way is the time you spent.
this sounds like happiness
kalama musi? more like kalama musi mute
Learn a whole language with a single song
Viaj tokiponaĵoj estas belegaj :-)
Ni ne povas fari ĝin en Esperanto mdr
@@MajaxPlop Fakte, mi hieraŭ pensis, ĉu krei estonte "The Esperap" (La E-repo) kaj publikiĝi ĉe mia kanalo. Sed mi ne certas ankoraŭ.
@@amadeosendiulo2137 Se vi povas kaj volas fari ĝin, ne hezitu ;)
The Poké rap has a new rival
tokirap: kulupu, poki
*lipamanka intensifies*
Jan - person, human, someone. I would hope so...
Here's my attempt to find 137 appropriate 漢字 for the tokirap. They're all based on commonly-used 漢字 in Hokkien, my native language, so they may be different from Mandarin or Japanese-based 漢字. These were chosen for their Hokkien meanings (mostly), but some of them also sound like the target toki pona word. I tried my best to make them look distinct.

What if this gets to a million views?
It should
Most of them may or may not be from me....
I already loved this song just for the concept and the catchy beat ("toki ni li jo e nimi ni" sounds great rapped, with or without comprehension), but today I decided to translate the lyrics, and found out it's also hilarious!
jan Misali li toki e ni: musi li pini ala. lon, tawa mi!
Wait a minute... about halfway through the song, it's stated "nimi ale mute luka luka tu taso". Shouldn't that be "nimi ale mute luka luka luka tu taso"? I believe there are 137 nimi ku suli, not 132
@Emperor Dodd that was a result of prioritizing "taso" over an accurate number of words (and i guess sacrificing numerical accuracy for information is very much in the spirit of the language)
I love this song already!!!
play this at my funeral
That was increadibly nerdy.
Good. :)
