twentytokithree...2!

this is my second day of learning toki pona! i watched the first 2 jan misali lessons and read lessons 3 and 4 in the toki pona book. i think once i've finished the book and jan misali videos i'll have a look at the writing systems

the appealing thing about toki pona for me is the creativity involved in making up phrases. breaking down what ou want to say and building it up with a few little blocks so other people can understand. this is similar to one of the appealing aspects of esperanto: the flexibility with which nouns can be turned into verbs and vice versa

toki pona li musi :)

It says:

NOTE: There is a new toki pona course by jan Misali currently in the works. These corrections apply to the old course, and I highly recommend you watch the new one, which is here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuYLhuXt4HrQwIDV7FBkA8zApw0pnEJrX

These are corrections for jan Misali's 12 days of sona pi toki pona made by ijo Son.

day 2: sentence structure

  • "jan ike" doesn't always mean "enemy", and only means "enemy" if it's a person (because of the "jan").
  • "li" does not mean "is". {see ... li}

day 3: e

  • "mi wile e moku" is not incorrect. "moku" can be a direct object in this sentence. "mi wile moku" means "i want to eat", but "mi wile e moku" means "i want food". {see ... e}
  • "nasa" is not generally accepted to mean "stupid", because the word "stupid" is discouraged from being used due to ableism. "nasa" commonly means "unusual, strange, silly, drunk, intoxicated".

day 4: adjectives

  • "pi" does not mean "of". it just rebrackets adjectives. {see ... pi}

day 5: la "A la B", in general, means "in the context of A, B". this can be used for if-then statements, time-marking, and more, as discussed in the video. {see ... la}

day 8: on addressing

  • you don't have to avoid having your name sounding like an official word if you don't want to.
  • "akesi" really means "reptile" or "amphibian"

day 9: adpositions/day 10: a lot, multiple, at least three, or exactly twenty

  • "anpa" can also mean "bottom" or "area below", and "lon anpa" is used much more commonly than "lon noka" for below.

day 11: full of eels

  • "a" does not mean "so". it is just a particle used for emphasis. it can be used in a similar way to "so", but it has no meaning; it's just emphasis.
  • jan Misali repeated "len" here. replace "len" with "supa", meaning "flat (horizontal) surface" (e.g. furniture)

day 12: final day

  • "kin", "oko", and "namako" are usually not the exact same as "a", "lukin", and "sin" respectively. you don't have to know the exact differences between them, but know that they are often not interchangeable. when in doubt, use "a", "lukin", and "sin".
