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!"

I wrote a scene for my game in Toki Pona! I find that it's easier for me to write stuff like this when I do it in this language, because I don't fret too much about things like word choice. I have an English translation of it for my friends, but I'm going to post it without that here because I want to see how TOK speakers interpret it! Click the Read More if you want to see it all!

Here we go again with my Toki Pona translations of Finnish literature that absolutely no one asked for. This time it's the uncensored version of Lahtinen's toboggan monologue from Sotaromaani.

If anyone came here just for Toki Pona and is not familiar with this novel:

It's about the Continuation War between Finland and the Soviet Union from an ordinary soldier's POV. In this excerpt Lahtinen, a communist, lashes out at Finnish military leadership and rants about the war and capitalism.

jan Lasinen/Mata/Salo/Siponen = Lahtinen, Määttä, Salo and Sihvonen, soldiers

jan Sumi/Lusi/Nijon = Finns, Russians and Japanese people

jan Lapuwa = supporters of the fascist and anticommunist Lapua movement

Even as a native Finnish speaker, I have no idea what "kyllä hän touhua on" means. "ona li jo e pali mute kin" is an educated guess.

Edit:

It's probably the "warlords" that are getting paid a lot from the people's money and not the journalists. So I changed "jan sitelen li kama jo e mani suli tan jan pali" to "jan lawa li kama jo - - ".

Corrected some punctuation that felt off

Broke apart a sentence to avoid la-stacking. Aforementioned part about the people's money was part of the previous sentence

Deleted a useless sentence that I added for no reason ("mi sona ala e ni" after "sike moli ni li kama tan ma seme")

jan Lasinen en jan Mata en jan Salo li tawa e supa tawa lon ko walo mute. jan Siponen li lon monsi li tawa e linja pini li tawa e supa kepeken palisa tawa pi ko walo. tenpo pini la, ona mute li lon poka kulupu wan pi palisa moli. taso tenpo ni la, ona li jo e supa ni la kulupu li weka. supa li jo e ijo mute mute la, ona li lon ma lon insa ko. tenpo wan la, mije li tawa kepeken palisa tawa pi ko walo, taso ona li ken ala pali ni tan ijo mute lon supa. ona li pana e palisa tawa lon supa li tawa kepeken noka. kon li lete, taso ona li pilin seli li pana e telo mute mute. ona li kon wawa li pana e nimi ike li tawa lon nasin pi kulupu ona. ona li wile lape mute mute la, lawa ona li pilin kon. kalama utala li kute lili nasa. ona li ken ala kute e ni: kalama seme li kama tan jan pona tan jan ike.

Hello Glycerin Adhdo5 please share your Spore lore. I am intriqued by the spore lore. Hi.

OK so the first thing you gotta know is that all three of these are the daughters of the Unreaper, the save I had that I have apparently completely lost in the reset and had never published to Sporepedia. I am still pondering what this means diegetically for all of them but it's relevant

The Unreaper were my first experiment into the Murder Herbivore – they were a Harmony empire but a completely unearned one. They also had the traits of strangely oriented arms, deer antlers, and their starfarer foremost the Omnipotent had a strong penchant for throwing herself repeatedly into war, forgoing assembling a fleet and abusing her respawn mechanic to one-man terrorize worlds

The Harp is a Zealot empire of antlered, winged pack hunters. The Harpy have gone red-red-green-green and as a species have had a long, long history of being fucking annoying. The mechanics of their pack dynamics are not well understood and the Harp is not forthcoming, but those packs/flocks/swarms have uncanny capability to coordinate (especially for the sake of mobbing some motherfucker), and no individual Harpy has been documented very extensively – their recording of history is deeply collectivist, and individual Harpy do not usually have names or stable epithets. They are somewhat oddballs among the Way of Spode – they lack many of the hardliner tendencies and have only erratically and mostly superficially adopted the Galactic standard practices of Spode, even having different practices around prosletyzation, as enthusiastic as they are about it – the Harp places almost no value on prosletyzation as beneficial to the recipient but instead treats convincing and being convinced as a ritual act in and of itself.

Some of the Harp's oddnesses are best exemplified in the Taking, the intervention that ended the Amahani-Aepox war. The Amahani Empire was the Harp's first interstellar contact, and was also a theocracy under Spode – the Amahani Empire and the Harp were close allies for a long time, and when the Amahani began to lose the conflict with the Aepox, the Harp was a frontline negotiator, and freely welcomed refugees. Eventually, though, the Amahani were pushed back to their home world, and followed there. The Harp officially annexed the remains of the Amahani rather than let them be destroyed – via induction of planet-wide religious frenzy by way of the Zealot superweapon.

In the time since, Harpy delegations sent to mend relations after that breach of the Galactic code have integrated extremely effectively, especially in Chance empires.

The Ikka'vetu, the First Step Unto the Land, are omnivores with much less pack definition than the New Transcendent and certainly than the Harp. I am going to say more about them later but basically they are also a Harmony empire which annoys me bc I wanted them to be Life rn I am going to TTRPG

The Empire of New Transcendence are my longest save and a weird one. They didn't come from one guy but two – after meeting a hostile creature, my herbivorous guys developed a symbiotic bond with an in-game Maxis-created creature that was much more statted for attack. The Senta (me-created) and the Kakuta (this is derived from "Kowkutter" which is the name of the Spore creatures in question but that isn't a diegetic name in The Lore) proceeded to develop side by side as a societal unit under the banner of New Transcendence. They r for all intents and purposes one society. New Transcendence is a Harmony empire, and does as such very much value The Significance Of All Life In The Universe, but being a Spore empire, they are not, despite this, antiviolent.

The infrastructure this society does build produces the crew of the Great Star of New Transcendence. They are a very expected bunch, consisting of the commonplace unit of Senta and Kakuta and also coming very much From Power. Releasing a bunch of very questionable graduates into space proceeds to cause several problems as pride and greed immediately show themselves as core motivators with more than one fatal result. But their pride too is affected by the Harmony philosophy – they dabble eventually in uplifting the Flowerdrifter Fairies... who come into their own as a Force empire and proceed to demand the eradication of another empire. The Great Star, which is functionally a warlord merc, initially accepts the bribe – but the reason is a new low of petty and unjustifiable, and the rush of completion immediately gives way to horror not just at this but at all the terrorism and murder they'd committed before. Shaken, the Great Star commits to a vow of peace.
