Toki Pona is a philosophical artistic constructed language known for its small vocabulary. It was created by Canadian linguist and translator Sonja Lang for the purpose of simplifying thoughts and communication. It was first published online in 2001 as a draft, and later in complete form in the book Toki Pona: The Language of Good in 2014. A small community of speakers developed in the early 2000s. While activity mostly takes place online in chat rooms, on social media, and in other groups, there were a few organized in-person meetings during the 2000s and 2010s.

toki pona @lemmy.ml sascuach @lemmy.ml Have you ever had a conversation in real life in Toki pona?
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

- Shared Deck of all the current popular words (~137 words as of 2022, known as pu + nimi ku suli).

toki pona @lemmy.ml Alamantus @lemmy.ml I compiled a master dictionary of all the unique words from pu and ku and made an Anki deck to use!
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:
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.

toki pona @lemmy.ml phthalo @lemmy.ml XMPP Toki Pona Chat Room
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.
Drop on by! I am new to toki pona myself, and the room is young and quiet. Feel free to come make some noise :)

toki pona @lemmy.ml vimino @lemmy.ml Translation Request
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.
