lo/n is two morae long so I like to pronounce them separately when convenient :^) Japanese songs do this too, so sometimes you'll hear "konna" as two syllables, and sometimes as three!

(To the tune of Happy Birthday)

suno lon pona!
suno lon pona!
suno pi kama lon sina!
suno lon pona!

Yesterday, I learned about @kaikalii.bsky.social's uiua.org programming language. Very lovely and original.

suno pini la, mi kama sona e lon pi toki ilo Wiwa lon uiua.org. mama @kaikalii.bsky.social li lon e toki sin suwi a.

lon tenpo mute la sijelo mi lon ilo Sewi Laso li weka tan lawa mi 😔

jan poka mi li kama sona e toki pona >:) kepeken ken pali ona la mi tu ni li ken pali e ijo sin a... mi pilin pona!

It would certainly be interesting to a certain kind of nerd as well—I've always told myself that if I ever made a conlang, I would make sure to slip in some weird irregulars because I love chaos :^)

Indomie rasa kari ayam! :D

And in the toki pona learning communities I've been in, they tend to correct them when they do so, so I think it's more commonly not used. Could be wrong though! I'm not in too many toki pona communities :')

mi lukin e kepeken mute pi toki pona li kama sona e ni: jan mute li kepeken ala nimi "e" lon pini pi nimi "kepeken" :p

Based on my observation of toki pona usage, most people don't use "e" after "kepeken". Of course it's never zero, but those that do tack an "e" afterwards are usually new learners.

Yep! "kepeken e" is usually treated as a beginner's mistake since it only exists as a preposition, but I sometimes like to play around with my "mistakes" and see what weird stuff I come up with in my own defense :^)

nnn mi ken open toki kepeken nasin ni. ala li ken pini e mi

sqrt(2) but with eyes

waso nanpa

mi toki kepeken uta. → I speak with my mouth.

mi kepeken e uta mi. → I use my mouth.

"I am not using the"

I feel like putting "e" would solve some of my gripes with it. Also I think it'd be interesting if we had "kepeken e [ijo]" for "use [something]" in general but just "kepeken [ijo]" for "via [thing]" specifically

Using "kepeken" is hard because whenever I put an "ala" after it I also end up putting "e" by force of habit. I am a fake fluent toki pona speaker /j

a, jan mute li kepeken ala e nimi tu ni (mi kin li kepeken ala e ona). lon toki Inli: soto li "left". teje li "right".

toki lili lon sitelen pona: "lon ijo", "lon sewi ijo", "lon anpa ijo", "lon sinpin ijo", "lon monsi ijo", "lon selo ijo", "lon insa ijo", "lon poka ijo", "lon teje ijo", en "lon soto ijo". sike lili lon nimi lon ijo li kama sike pi nimi "lon" (la ona tu li kama wan).

sitelen pona mi

sina pona tawa lukin mi a :D

A toki pona word proposal:

masa en mini

Derived from English "max" and "min", these (or a more interestont pair not derived from English perhaps) could facilitate superlatives and easier comparisons.

ni li suli masa tawa ni => this is bigger than that

ni li masa suli => this is the biggest

Was no one going to tell me I misspelled "musi" as "mudi" in my bio 😔

wawa... nimi "wawa" li musi suli a
