What was the context? Was it like with a friend, or like with a stranger?

Since it's so simple to learn I am thinking about learning it just as a networking activity, since it'll pop up eventually

My toki pona guide:

Learning the language

• jan Lentan's lessons. By far the best guide for learning the language.
• jan Misali's 12 days of toki pona. Not as good as jan Lentan's lessons, but serves as a speedy introduction to the vocab.

Vocabulary

• Download a client for the spaced-repetition software, Anki.
  • AnkiDroid for Android
• Shared Deck of all the current popular words (~137 words as of 2022, known as pu + nimi ku suli).
• Shared Deck of all the phrases from jan Lentan's lessons.
• You can find other shared decks here.

Listening / Fluency

• Youtube channel - ma pi toki pona . Has lots of fluent speakers having conversations about different topics.

Other resources

• ku - the toki pona dictionary
• pu - toki pona: the language of good (first book)

Last month, I set out to collect all of the unique words in the toki pona language, including new words from ku and a few common combination words, with thorough definitions tied to each word into one master list. This deck is compiled from the dictionary section in pu merged with 2 other dictionaries I found online:

• http://tokipona.net/tp/ClassicWordList.aspx
• https://devurandom.xyz/tokipona/dictionary.html
• https://devurandom.xyz/tokipona/13.html

I also pulled a couple definitions from jan Misali's video on ku: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3p4-GFXrkM

Finally, the master list itself is available in text format here if you're interested in that instead of the shared Anki deck:

• toki pona ku.txt direct download

Note that the list and deck do not include country names and other proper nouns that had examples given in pu and ku, only the distinct toki pona words.

(I tried posting this the other day, but the original flashcards service I was using, Flashcards.io, stopped working for sharing decks, so I figured it was high time I just used the correct software—it was much easier than I expected!)

Toki!

I started a chat room for anyone here using XMPP. All of the offical toki pona chats and forums are on platforms I don't care to use, so I thought I would create a room for anyone else in my shoes.

tomo laso

Drop on by! I am new to toki pona myself, and the room is young and quiet. Feel free to come make some noise :)

"A simple dictionary for everyone's favorite conlang ;)

The dictionary is a simple word lookup and does not provide results for compounds. So the word car, in english, will not be found in toki pona because you would be required to speak multiple toki pona words to express the idea. Both searched do support multiple words being searched for: separate the words with spaces."

this browser game has a tool to memorize toki pona words, tools to learn sitelen pona, and a dictionary.

I tried to use Toki Pona and made this phrase:

mi lukin sona toki lon ni ike nasa toki taso ni li ala sama soweli toki

But I think it's missing something, so I'm asking you guys to translate it so I can see if it's understandable.

pipi lili li kama ni

ona li moku e kili

kili li ike

nanpa wan sike

la pipi lili li moli
