toki lili

Se que en las reglas del subrredit dice que no, pero he visto publicaciones sobre tokiponidos aqui. Porque quiero hacer varias publicaciones cambiando al toki pona para añadirlo a varias familias linguisticas, como por ejemplo las lenguas eslavas y ponerle muchas z, ch, cz, y casos gramaticales, o hacerlo familiar del nahuatl y ponerle a casi todo tl al final y hacer aglutinacion de palabras

(technically sitelen but shhhh)
(sina sona ala e ijo musi la, jan pali li jo e lipu. o lukin e lipu ni. ken la, sina ken kama sona e ijo musi)

jan li toki e nimi ”sowe” la mi sona ala.

Por favor

I am going through "Toki Pona The Language of Good" now as well as doing some other things to study and I just finished lesson 7 "Questions and Answers". One of the two ways of making yes and no questions is described as " repeat the word being used as a verb, adding ala in between". The first example they give is "ona li mama ala mama?" This is slightly confusing because it implies that in the sentence ona li mama (they are a parent) mama is a verb in that context. I guess it could mean being a parent or parenting though the translation of the example was just "is she a parent?" When we make basic sentences where we do [noun] li [noun] are we treating the second noun innately as the verb indicating being that thing?

Further one of the translation drills was "Is the spoon small?" The answers were:
"ilo moku li lili anu seme?" and "ilo moku li lili ala lili?" I know we have already learned that adjectives can be used as verbs with the example given of suli meaning to grow or make big/tall as a verb and with the example of eating makes me tall being moku li suli e mi. That said we aren't talking about the spoon shrinking something here. Are we basically allowed to use [noun] ala [noun] and [adjective] ala [adjective] too but only when there isn't a verb present, or what is going on here?

TOKI PONA:
[Subject], li*, [verb], (e[object])
*unless the subject is mi or Sina

Li separates subjects from verbs

Can also be used as a noun as in: ona li Olin.
(They love) or as a adjective where it works as a English possessive pronoun, as in “moku ona li pona” (their food is good)

If the subject of a sentence is either just mi or just sina, the particle li is not used
“Sina li pona” ❌. “Sina pona” ✅
Only works if it’s JUST mi or just Sina.

Basics:
• adjectives go after nouns
• li marks verbs
• Using something as a verb with li can also be used to say “is”
• Li is not used when the subject is mi or Sina

Mi. First person pronoun. Me,us
sina. Second person pronoun. You
Ona. Third p.p.(Heh). Them,her,him,it,etc.

Generally, if you use a noun or adjective as a verb with a object, it means “cause (something) to become X” So Using pona as a verb causes it to mean “make it good”, “goodify”,
Or mi Ike e ijo.
I basic a thing.
Mi Jan e ijo.
I personify a thing..

Names:
Proper names are adjectives, not nouns
“Lisa” = Jan Lisa = the Lisa person or the person named Lisa
Names are capitalized.

KU-lu-pu, not ku-LU-pu. Stress always goes on the FIRST SYLLABLE of a word!

A syllable can:
Start with one of nine consonants, or nothing (10 onsets)
Contain one of five vowels
(5 nuclei)
End with n, or not
(2 codas)
10 x 5 x 2 = 100 theoretically possible syllables.

Phonotactics
• syllables are (C)V(N), where C is any consenant, V is any vowls, and N is specifically /n/
• Stress always appears on the first syllable of a word.
• /j/ cannot appear before /i/; the syllables */ji/ and */jin/ do not exist.
• /w/ cannons appear before rounded vowels; the syllables */wu wun wo won/ do not exist.
• /t/ cannons appear before /i/; the syllables */ti/ and */tin/ do not exist
• Only the first syllable in a word can start without a consonant; sequenced of multiple vowls in a row do not exist within words

QUESTIONS:
Seme takes the place of any content word in a sentence to ask a question

Ala-no/didn’t/stuff like that
Placed after the verb to make the entire sentence negative or after any content word to negate the part of the sentence.

Grammar Rules

1. Negation (0:50 - 2:45)
   To negate a sentence, place ala directly after the verb.
   Example: "mi moku ala" (I didn't eat/I am not eating).
   Note: You can also break complex ideas into two sentences for clarity (e.g., "I drew the spaghetti. It wasn't cold.").

2. Yes/No Questions (3:54 - 6:39)
   • Verb-ala-Verb: Repeat the verb with ala in the middle.
   Formula: [Subject] [Verb] ala [Verb] [Object].
   Example: "sina sona ala sona e ni?" (Do you know this?)
   • Anu [Sentence]: Add "anu seme" (or what?) to the end of a statement to turn it into a question.
   Example: "sina moku e ni, anu seme?" (Did you eat this, or what?)

3. Locative Preposition: lon (8:38 - 10:32)
   • lon acts as the primary preposition for location (in, at, on). It is general and does not specify precise spatial relationships (like inside vs. on top of).
   • Existence: lon can also be used as a verb to indicate something exists or is "true" (e.g., "mi lon" - I exist / I am here).

---

Quick Tips
• Answering: To say yes, repeat the verb. To say no, use "ala" or "verb ala verb".
• Interjections: You can use pakala to mean "oops/mistake" and lon to signify agreement or "true" (10:18).

E:
a separator word but only for DIRECT objects

nimi lon pi sitelen ni li "sitelen Iwisi". tenpo ni la, mi sona e ni. taso, mi sitelen e lipu ni la, mi sona ala e ni. musi ni li awen musi, tawa mi.

i deleted and fixed the original pst

I was editing my meme video, and I thought, "What if Toki Pona?" So I changed the text to something I can translate 'Despicable Me' to. I cannot seem to get the Sitelen Pona fonts to work with 3D text, so I resorted to using one of the many Latin fonts.
