Hello foreighnfag!

Let's take a trip to the magcal world of Toki Pona!

toki pona is a minimalist conlang with a vocabulary of around 120 words and roughly a dozen of grammar rules. It takes about an hour to start swearing and about a week to start swearing well in toki pona.

ITT, let's see if it is useable as a pidgin (one of the reasons it was invented for), excercise in semantical deconstruction (that's another reason) and translate boardspeak in toki pona!

Have conlangs ever been useful? They're just a hobby.

>>51864116
define 'useful'
would you actually be able to communicate with people with it? You guys said it only has 120 words right?
How is that a meaningful vocabulary at all?
>>
>>51864062
>>51864116
I would say that Esperanto is useful, but Toki Pona is just for fun.

>>51864128
Esperanto is the most useful invented language outside of Modern Hebrew.
>>
>>51864062
It's good enought for unpa e mama sina, but it's more meme than usefull. It's kind of philosophical lang, using it, you try to look simplier on the world and events, and try to say a general about anything. It's qt a good game.


long story short: it's a meme.

Well.. i can. Wut do?
mi = mi in lojban
sina - you/y'all
ona - he/she/it/ an pl.
ni - this/that +(pl)
li - kinda 'cu'-separator, but we can use ig to add another verb~predicate to the general arguement. but we omitt it after mi and sina for the fist time.
> mi moku li tawa li olin e sina
I eat (and I) go (and I) love you
we put 'e' between predicate and argument/s, that is/are an object/s of the predicate. i.e. in case of transitive verbs.
>ona li moku e telo e moku.
he eats water (and) food.

e also acts as li in meaning of adding objects.

Ummm... you know, there are good lessons written by jan Pije.
You need to know vocabulary.
there are somehow 125(?) word in dictionary, look for it.
Next we've got 'en'. It's for connecting words that are subject.
>meli en mije li olin e ona sama.
woman and man love their same (litteraly)
Difinition words (adverbs/adjectives/'modificators') are to be added after general word.
>soweli tomo ni li pona mute tawa mi mute!
(lit.) animal homestic this (li) good very for I many
When we want to separate them, as in
> tomo telo nasa
(is it a mad bathroom or a bar?)
we use 'pi' separator. It's like 'bo' in lojban.

there are word 'tawa' : to go (intr), to move smth (tr, with e), 'to', 'for:'

Hey guys, linguist here.
I've heard of this language before and did some reading on it. I have never tried learning it, but perhaps in a few weeks I will start.
One thing I'm particularly interested in is the Sapir-Whorf Theory. For those who don't know about it, it's a linguistic theory that looks at the ability of language to change how we think. There are two forms, "strong" and "weak" theories. The weak theory states that language 'influences' how we think, the strong theory states that language 'dictates' how we think (meaning that if you speak Japanese, you can only comprehend 'Japanese' things.

To the speakers of Toki Pona, what do you think of this? Do you feel that when you think in Toki Pona that your thinking is controlled or hindered? Do you think it influences your ideas?
Also, when I start learning this, where is a good place to find you speakers to practice?

you can use IRC and official forun of TP, sites of those are at Wikipedia page of the language.
if you want to talk with russian anon, you can ask a question here -> html https://2ch.pm/fl/res/167116.html
We've just started a new meta-thread for rus-anon-tokiponsts. Usually there's a everyday thread in /b/ of 2ch.hk.
As myself, I say that tp a lil change my way of speaking russian, my native lang. (it turns to toki pona style sometimes, lol, and its for a month of talking), but... well, when try to think in toki pona, I still use russian or english, but nowadays i fluently speaking it :D
>>
>>51868288
*sorry for my english*
>>
>>51868337
it's okay :) I understand everything you wrote
>>51868288
I've just opened up the thread on /b/. I look forward to reading into this more and hopefully being one of the few hundred that can speak it in a few months
>>
>>51868374
Good luck and tawa pona! :^)
>>
>>51868448
just wondering if you could also tell me why Russians seem to be a large group learning this?
>>
>>51868484
It's just interesting for russian anon
>>
>>51868484
Speaking of /b/.. well, I jusf don't really know. I think there are some aspects:
1) It's fun to play a game, it's kind of art
2) No one understands you (especially mods :D)
3) Anons who speak are ones who are not schoolboys or other mentally ill humans (lol), the language is also an "Iron Curtain" that saves from cancer, that kills imageboards. And chatting is qt interesting to me.

Aw shite. Time to wake up and go yo uni :/

why its in Russia? Coz all the problems, also in internet, here is so fucked up and grotesque.

Also the OP, who almost all the time is the same person, says that he "just" loves the language.
Maybe the reason also was sort of escapistic feels that led russian in internet culture? Just saying.

As a linguist, you'll have to realize that the layman's experience and definition of language is much broader than what your profession allows.

For example, linguists tend to eschew the importance of the written word when it comes to language. As a lover of postmodern literature and of visual/concrete poetry, I find this asinine.

How is this relevant to you questions? Allow me to explain.

Many fans of invented languages are interested in a foreign, artistic/artificial *mindset* or worldview.

In most cases of conversational spoken language, one speaks without thinking due to force of habit rather than intentional, conscious *expression*.

So, even if one can successfully-- and even fluently-- reproduce the sounds and grammar of the language, violating the aesthetic and philosophical spirit of the language means you aren't *truly* speaking it. You haven't internalized the worldview the creator intended (or unintentionally implied).

So, no; no language hinders or helps if you treat it as a mere interchangeable veil/gloss over nonverbal thoughts.

Can complicated and esoteric subjects like astrophysics be discussed in Toki Pona?

Perhaps. (Just as with any other language.)

However it would require long chains of contorted phrases which would quickly confuse even the most fluent reader/listener(s). And more importantly, it wouldn't be very Pona.

I understand what you're coming from, however what do you think of it being a language learned from birth.
As far as I know, everyone that speaks it knows it as an L2. So if someone were to learn it as an L1 (native language), do you think it would then impact the ability to discuss quadratic formula?
Also, the author herself stated that it was designed to limit speech to the "simple life". That's why there's specific words which translate roughly to hunt/gather/forage

Word that defines follows the defined word, just as in french.
>>
>>51869355
>do you think it would then impact the ability to discuss quadratic formula?

That depends on who and how the child is raised, doesn't it?

If the child is raised with the focus on simplicity and everyday pleasures so often mentioned about Toki Pona, then no.

If you wish to speak in long-winded phrases describing math, then probably yes.

Technically, you can describe everything in binary code but it isn't efficient.

We've been fooling around in toki pona thread at Russian AIB for a month or so. Then, as OP says, we got curious if it can be used as pidgin. Hence /int. I figure we're dozen or so, we just stop by to say hello and it looks like Russian invasion.

There was that Esperanto guy from Denmark though, can't see him here.

Wouldn't take that long.

If we take care of this thread and it doesn't sink we can speak here.

This time I see more people are interested, so there would be more threads right here probably. The captcha is killing half of the fun though.

Anyway. In that Russian thread of ours, we just recommend the guys to figure out the basics (which takes couple of hours) and start fooling around. Works great. We mostly exercise in offending each other's parents, have small talk and translating macros/pasta.

As for SW hypothesis, this guy >>51869226

Studying this language, I'm starting to grasp the nature of it. It's interesting, because out of the other languages I speak, it borrows many elements either from the grammar or lexicon.
