We need duolingo to make a toki pona course
EDIT: ok now i understand why that would be a bad idea. Im learning toki pona rn btw
ni li lon!
@@OatsJenkins sorry i haven’t learnt toki pona yet
what does that mean
@@RmationYT I think it means something along the line of "that's right" (i forgot what ni is, but li kind of acts like "is" and lon means true or correct I think"
I checked ni means "this" or "that"
Actually "j" is pronounced like that in most of the languages, not just slavic, but germanic as well. English is pretty much an exception
It's also like that in French.
@@BentijonI am pretty sure "j" in French doesn't sound like it does in, for example, german
Romance languages are exceptions (I don't know if all of them are)
@@F_A_F123 in Spanish it's /x/, in French it's /ʒ/, in italian it's /i/, in Portuguese and Romanian it's just like french. Most are exceptions weird enough since in Latin (where J derives from) made /i/ and /j/
@@F_A_F123Yeah, I meant that english is an exception amongst germanic languages
Since you asked for it, here's some critiques of that _final test_ you gave yourself:
- "mi sona ni" should be "mi sona e ni"
- using "kin la" as a conjunction, as in joining two sentences together with it into one larger sentence, isn't something you can do in the same way you would with English words like 'and.' It can be used to start a new sentence if you want, but conjunctions don't really exist in TP with the possible exception of anu. Also, I'm not entirely sure what the word 'also' would actually mean in this context. I would just remove the word 'kin' and make it "o kama sona e toki pona la ..." or maybe "sina kama sona e toki pona la..."
- the word 'jo' can mean 'have', but only in the sense of having or owning something, such as "I have an apple". The English word 'have' is weird and can mean about a dozen different things. In the case of "have a good time," which I assume you tried to translate, the word 'have' doesn't actually convey ownership, so 'jo' isn't a great fit. I would probably just phrase that part of the sentence completely differently, such as "sina ken pilin pona" or "ona li ken pona tawa sina."
Everything else seems good though. I'm honestly quite impressed. The toki pona cult continues to grow!
Ain't no way
i gotta say, front facing kijetesantakalu is kinda cursed
I like using "mi sona ni" in place of "mi sona e ni". Doesn't "I know this" kind of mean the same as "I know thus"?
I think he wasn't using "kin la" to start a new sentence, I interpreted it as "you should learn toki pona too, and if you do, you'll have a good time", "kin" meaning "too", and "too" because he also learned it.
I agree with your third point. You can also phrase it like "tenpo pona li lon".
@@viktor7536 I would interpret "mi sona ni" more like "I know like this". Consider: "mi jo e tenpo lili la, mi tawa sona ni" which I understand as "I have little time, I learn (like) this." Although ultimately, I think it's best to just include "e" "sama" or "tan" to remove ambiguity.
the reason is pronounced the same as an english is so that the letters of Toki Pona are exact 1:1 as their IPA phonemes. in english uses the phoneme /j/, the same goes for in Toki Pona

really loving the exposure that toki pona is getting as of recently!!! i thought a few things were worth mentioning, though! the word "kijetesantakalu", the one that means raccoon, was actually added by sonja as an april fools joke! it was funny to create an overly long word with an overly specific definition, but people liked it enough that it became official!!! also, the reason why in toki pona is pronounced like english's is to remain consistent with most languages, as most actually do pronounce the letter j that way lol

you have summoned all the tokiponists on the internet, some of them will offer unsolicited corrections, don't be discouraged, you've learnt it really well, I like your translations, like journal as lipu tawa. welcome to the exclusive club of weirdos with intentionally small vocabularies!
haha yes i'm aware, and i welcome all tips and corrections,, i'd love to be totally fluent
Kinda silly language, you remove all offical vocabulary but then have a bunch of unoffical vocabulary. Learning all the ways someone can say various ideas of objects is probably annoying. Besides that, it looks like it would function quite well.
@@Bigzthegreat yea it works the same as any other language if you know it fluently. there's not as much confusion in the ambiguity as you might expect.
also it's not like there aren't agreed upon sets of words, the original 120 words (nimi pu) + 16 or so extras (nimi ku) are 99% of people's vocabulary, and everybody agrees upon what they mean, there's just no officially mandated set because it's creator wants it to belong to the evolving language community and not a single person's judgement, which is how natural languages work anyway
@@beesinpyjamas9617 You misunderstand. When I talk about, "unoffical" words, I mean combinations of existing words to form new ideas. My point being that you have to memorize all these colloquial combinations in order to be understood, or to understand others, which defeats the purpose of having a small amount of words. However, you did say the amount of ambiguity is small, and if it is, I would be pleasantly surprised.
@@Bigzthegreat oh I see, "lexicalisation" of word combinations is often discouraged for this reason, it unfortunately happens a lot anyway but mostly by beginners, like "tomo tawa" (moving structure) as car or vehicle being incredibly ubiqutous, but i strongly reccomend people think about coming up with their own ways of saying these things, especially when something like tomo tawa doesn't make sense for the context (is a vehicle not more of a tool? what if it isn't enclosed? is a motorbike or a racecar a structure? how can something thats moving be parked?)
2:26 mi wile pali e moku* no need for li if mi is the subject and has no modifiers.
Also i’d recommend jan Telakoman’s series “o pilin e toki pona” its great for becoming more fluent as it gives you many hours of comprehensible input so you don’t spend so long working out what people are saying in your head. I found it the most helpful resource out there. You can either use it as a starting point or you can have prior knowledge for it to work
'o pilin e toki pona' is a fantastic resource, definitely +1 for that
I like your attitude towards it, humble, but with really good Toki Pona sentences with only minor mistakes. Sometimes, when someone makes a video about Toki Pona, he'd want to appear knowledgeable, but actually making a lot of mistakes (*cough cough* Half as Interesting). You avoid that. I also like that it's visible that you put a lot of effort into learning the language before making the video.
I agree that the main reason to learn it is that it's just a lot of fun! Especially making notes in sitelen pona :)
tenpo ni la, mi wile sitelen e nimi mute kepeken toki pona tawa ni: jan ante li sona ale e toki mi li pilin e ni: mi jan pi sona mute.
i'm really glad you're all accepting me into the community so nicely haha, much appreciated
Hey, what _doesn't_ HAI get wrong? We viewers practically bully them for it.
I totally agree! Your video is one of the best and most accurate portrails of toki pona on TH-cam from outside the tp-sphere ❤

I saw your video "musi Seta open" (obviously your lessons as well!), you know SO MUCH toki pona,, it's awesome, and it's very motivating for me!
(i know even this sitelen isn't pona ale, taso that's ok!)
@@OatsJenkins ~~o lukin e sitelen Seta mi kin~~
Someone who can translate it should say something along the lines of "Makes sense you liked Toki Pona so much, you fixed the alphabet twice.
sina pona e toki pona tawa sina, la sina pona e sitelen Lasina nanpa tu.
"Simple you like Toki Pona so much, you fixed the Latin writing twice."
i think thats correct, but it could accidentally be translated as:
"Thank you for talking good to yourself, your good two letters in Latin."
ken la, sina pilin pona mute tawa toki pona tan ni: sina pana pona tawa kulupu nimi lon tenpo tu!
[rough translation: maybe you like toki pona so much because you made the alphabet better twice!]
[exact translation: in the context of possibility, you feel good a lot toward the language of good because of this: you gave goodness towards the group of letters in two times!]
Thanks for the kind of blowup?
@@MSK.ofAlexandria Pretty sure that actually means something along the lines of "in the context of you improving toki pona to you, you improve two Latin writings"
@@cm222 I see it as exactly that except for the last bit, which I interpret as "you improve the second Latin alphabet".

@@JonDoh-ve7ecwhat are you on about the only language i know is european
hearing you talking in toki pona reminds me of japanese and the writing just seems like a more simple and understandable kanji
cool
The transliteration of names kind of resembles the way names are transliterated into Chinese, too (not Japanese because they have katakana for that purpose, but still kanji)
PONA AAA thank you so much for making this video! idk where the 30 hour thing comes from it usually takes people longer than that. you could def use more practice but youre so on the path to fluency :> i can send some more high level learning resources if you want. BUT OMG IT WAS SO COOL TO SEE A GOOD REPRESENTATION OF TOKI PONA!!! this video really reminded me of how much fun i had learning toki pona. this inspired me to start using toki pona more. YIPEEE!!! omg your learning resources were super good too. those three are super helpful. definitely some of the best resources. i dont even know what to say im just so happy you made this video. pona tawa sina💗💗 WAWA!!!
I could see 30 hours for memorizing the vocab and getting to a point where you can produce or understand very basic sentences in specific contexts that you're prepared for. It's not what I'd consider "learned" in 30 days but in 30 days you can learn enough that everything else is just practice, I think that's fair to say
crazy how you can see the simplification of thoughts in this comment
your comment is so bonkers in such a silly way, i just had a lot of fun reading it lol.
dude, being a nerd is awesome.
just remember to stay humble, if you can do that then you can be an s-tier nerd. whatever you set your dreams to, sky's the limit.
I'm in the middle of making my own conlang for a comic, and while coming up with the numeric system and the grammar itself has been rather straight-forward, contextualizing the words is just the hardest thing.
This vid' has been quite informative in breaking down how a language is learnt - so I rike it
OATS THIS IS SO GOOD ❤️❤️❤️ im a toki ponist and you did so much better than any other youtuber ive seen. i love you so much thank you for doing this AND actually doing your research. the toki pona community appreciates this more than you know.
Imma learn the language just so I can be called a toki ponist
I actually started learining toki pona from playing minecraft in toki pona, I've heard about that language from a friend of mine and asked him any time I was having problems with certain words but if you know the toki pona dictionary I do recommend playing minecraft in toki pona, it's quiete fun to see their translations
Finally something I can do!
Oats should create Language 2
As a mild conlang enthusiast, I would see that as an absolute win.
Yeah- then Mitch (Misali) could do his "conlang critic" thing again!
Yay! I love toki pona and im so happy you covered it!
Sina pona!
This is the most on brand thing for you to learn ever lol. Also this language has a really nice ring to it/flow to it so I’m kind of interested in checking it out for myself now.
Now i wanna learn Toki Pona, i already have learned a different language from my natural one (specifically the one im writing in right now, as my main language is the famous Spanish) so it would be kinda interesting. I also wanted to learn Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese (ive heard they are quite different), Italian and Japanese.
Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese aren't THAT different (I'm Brazilian), the way the language works is pretty much the same, the only differences are vocab and accents, Portugal has only one (I believe), but Brazil has a bunch of them. The only grammatical difference really is the usage of "Tu" (In Portugal and Rio de Janeiro) and "Você" (Most of Brazil), which is really similar to "Tú" and "Usted" in conjugation, but not in politeness.
o kama sona e wile ale sina.
If u r a Spanish speaker, Italian might be pretty easy 4 u
Those languages are pretty similar
U know, when I went to Mexico I didn't know Spanish and the Mexicans (many of them) didn't know English. But I spoke Italian and we understood each other
@@shurale123 yeah but like some sounds r pretty different like the soft c sounds like a ch and soft g sounds like a dzh but in spanish the soft c is a s and the soft g is a h
the grammar and writing system is very different from the languages you know, but i think you might enjoy japanese. im learning both japanese and spanish and i've found that they feel somewhat similar in how they're pronounced. japanese sounds always come in consonant + vowel pairs, with the vowel sounds always being pronounced the same way. the vowels in spanish are pronounced very similarly to this so alot of the sounds end up sounding like japanese and vice versa. the r sound in both languages are both fairly similar as well. of course there are still some differences, as the languages aren't related, but spanish and japanese sound alot more like each other than either language sounds compared to english.
I’m so happy, I really like your content and I’ve been trying to learn toki pona for a few months now, this was so surprising to see
the fact i tried to create a language when i was younger and i gave up in 3 minutes
same
If everyone just decided to learn this language it would make talking to people who don’t speak your language so much easier. Sure you wouldn’t be able to have in depth conversations, but at least you could communicate more simple things without trouble.

1:27 that’s literally how you transcribe that consonant sound in the international phonetic alphabet. And many Germanic languages too I didn’t know that Slavic languages did that too. So I don’t think it’s a bias.

I kind of been wanting to learn this for a while, I think it would have been best to start into the summer but that has past so maybe on weekends and breaks. I can get the official book though but it would be cool if I could, I mostly want to learn it because it's simplicity among other reasons.
I guess for now though I'll be getting back to attempting to translate the Zonai script.
