Such drive! Such tenacity! All to come to such a lonely forsaken place! Was it all to find me, or did the idea of such a journey itself spark the fire within you? Such enthusiasm should be rewarded! What an amazing little beast you are!

(mi lon kulupu taso mi kepeken “ona” tan ni: mi wile ala toki tan kulupu.)

a group is working to get sitelen pona in unicode!

a group has recently come together to figure out what sitelen pona in Unicode would look like.

they are figuring out how people use sitelen pona and are working very hard to figure out what words and glyphs people are using.

when this is done, they’re going to work on the proposal. it’s probably going to need a lot of revisions, and this will take a lot of time. probably years!

i feel great for the future. use sitelen pona!

(i am in this group but i’m using they because i do not want to speak on behalf of it.)

practicing some sitelen sitelen by translating alice in wonderland quotes

ik the grammar probably isnt great. corrections are welcome!

translations below cut

1: lon ni la mi ale li nasa - "we're all mad here"

2: open lon open. tawa lon pini. pini lon pini. - "begin at the beginning. and go on till you come to the end. then stop."

3: jan alisa li toki insa e ni: ona li jo ala e sitelen e toki la, lukin e lipu tan seme? - "'and what is the use of a book,' thought alice, 'without pictures or conversation?'"

4: o pakala e lawa ona! - "off with their heads!"

5: tenpo lili la, tenpo moku pi nanpa wan li open ala la, mi sona e ijo pi luka wan pi ken lon ala. (yes, ik multiple la and pi phrases isnt very pona) - "why, sometimes i've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

6: ona li jan pi ike lukin, taso ona li soweli pi pona lukin. - "it would have made a dreadfully ugly child; but it makes a rather handsome pig."

7: 'mi toki insa ala...' 'lon la sina o toki ala.' - "'i don't think-' 'then you shouldn't talk.'"

8: mi seme? a, ona li musi sona suli! - "'who in the world am i?' ah, that's the great puzzle!"

English to Furbish to toki pona ““dictionary””

today, i learned that Furbish is actually kinda a language?? after reading this post by @favoriteanimal and skimming this wiki page, i naturally decided to try to translate all the Furbish words and phrases into my beloved toki pona. oh boy was it a journey!

overall, i feel like toki pona is a much more flexible + efficient little language in comparison to Furbish. the main issue that irked me was the amount of unnecessary variations of the same concept, but made into 3 or more words! (i think this may just be the toki ponist in me.) i’m also not certain, but it seems like Furbish may be a relex?? someone please let me know, if ya know!

however, Furbish still succeeds in what (i believe) it sets out to do: to be a very cute, baby-sounding language that can be used to express many interactions between pet + owner / baby + guardian.

please note:

i was quite tired + made this in the span of about 3 hours!

i am not a toki pona expert and have little experience with Furbies

toki pona is best expressed in context and sometimes requires multiple sentences to convey an idea, so many of these don’t work well to be translated as abstract concepts.

i used some non-standard words (both non-pu and non-ku suli)

if i’ve made any mistakes, please kindly correct me! if you think a phrase could be better expressed a different way, feel free to share!

Language Self Studying 12/01/22

Hello! I’m studying Spanish, Toki Pona, Arabic, and ASL this coming month, so I’d like to share what resources I’ll be using and what goals I have :)

also this is a long post, so I’ll add my requests for info here too:

If you have suggestions on how to use the Toki Pona Dictionary, I would like to hear them! I know the point of Toki Pona is to come up with ways of saying things on your own, and I’m not really interested in... studying a dictionary... but it is a resource I have, and I would like to know some good ways to use it!

Also, I’m lacking in resources for ASL. There are a lot of ASL resources, especially on YouTube, however I’m having trouble finding ones from Deaf teachers / creators. Language is inextricably tied to culture, and that definitely applies to signed languages and Deaf culture! So if you know of Deaf ASL teachers / creators, or ASL resources created by Deaf people, please let me know!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

español

Estoy estudiando español en escuela, y porque es el término del semestre tengo algunos exámenes - en concreto tengo un examen escrito, un examen oral, y una presentación. Por eso voy a concentrarme primero en ellos. Después, voy a leer Short Stories in Spanish de Olly Richards:

Siento que mis habilidades de hablar y de escuchar son mejores que mi habilidad de leer. Aunque creo que el nivel es bastante fácil para mí, de verdad encuentro la lectura difícil.

Al tiempo que quiero mejorar mi habilidad de leer, ¡otras habilidades también son importantes! Me gusta mucho el canal Hola Spanish con Brenda Romaniello:

la enlace: https://www.youtube.com/@HolaSpanish

Estos vídeos me gustan porque son completamente en el español. Para practicar el discurso, posiblemente voy a hablar con mis amigas de El Salvador.  No hemos hablado en un rato, entonces espero que charlemos pronto :)

العربية

I’m a bit excited because I’ve have inherited a lot of resources for learning Arabic - textbooks, reference books, children’s books, and a book of Arabic stories with a CD! However because I’m a beginner, I’m just starting with these pamphlets from BarCharts Inc:

They are very neatly organized and chockfull of information. Because I also want to learn how to read and write in Arabic, I don’t believe I’ll get very far in either of these pamphlets this month. But that’s ok! The rest of the language will still be there when I’m ready!

I also want to focus on the Egyptian dialect, and for that I’ll be using the Egyptian Arabic for beginners course playlist on YouTube from the channel Speak Like an Egyptian:

link: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ9CWldzdmFU-rtgJPdO_cg_IwZFS5SO7

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ASL

Unlike Arabic, I do not have a lot of resources for this language. I really want to learn from Deaf teachers, but I’m having trouble finding resources (at least, ones that are free / cheap enough for a broke college student). I’m considering getting The ASL App:

It is made by Deaf people, so that’s a plus, but there are some reviews that have me skeptical and I would prefer to not learn on my phone. However, I will take what I can get!

If you have any opinions on this app or recommendations for ASL resources (especially by Deaf people!), please let me know!

... and that’s it! Wow, you made it all the way to the bottom! Congrats!

Thanks for reading, I hope you have a nice day :)
