monsi - gender dysphoria

[wise perch]

SO REAL nobody ever uses it

honestly I think monsi and selo are only 99% and 98% in linku because they let you skip nimi pu

if you had to pick which nimi pu you didn't use i think selo would no longer be core

maybe a hot take, maybe a cold take

[jolly bramble]

nnn

maybe

but yea those words were some of the last i learned

they're still fairly valuable

just not something we find ourselves talking about on this ma ki pona

[wise perch]

ofc they're valuable

i just have never seen a single usage of selo

in my entire life

[jolly bramble]

really!

i use it

like not often

but i use it

[dusky coral]

extrapolating from last years mije and meli performance, i would expect the skip effect to account for about 5% difference

[wise perch]

ooh thank you for the statistics, it seems very interesting

ni la 5% wouldn't drop them would it

[dusky coral]

it wouldnt

not to mention, if we change polling methods, nothing stops us from also changing the numeric cutoffs

the ultimate goal is less about stable cutoff points and more about helpful clusterisation

and while requiring people to click yes 120 times would likely spread out that core cluster, its unlikely to cause any of the words to drop

i think they’re underused in toki pona spaces, not because people wouldn’t use them if they were making the choice, but because toki pona spaces are online so people spend less time talking about physical objects

other physical words like palisa or sinpin have the advantage of being able to talk about specific objects, but monsi and selo are more abstract

1. 'sen' / 'se' (now i'd prefer 'se' for better contrast with other things) for "life", "living thing", from the Mandarin 生物/生命 - felt like an obvious choice which is absent for some mysterious reason. would allow for toking about any organism using their Latin or any other names as adjectives. would allow for talking easily about archaea and bacteria and all our non-binary tiktaaliks and even aliens. could also be used as a modifier for all sorts of things.

3) apen - from Hegel's aufheben . cuz it's super helpful for more precisely conceptualising change in the world . could also be reanalysed as coming from the Greek a- and English 'up'.

---

again, all that was intended for personal use cuz at some point i wanted a language that could accommodate borrowings from any other languages, to facilitate language exchange and teaching. it was also supposed to tolerate phonology of any natural language, cuz a syntactic classifier system would allow listeners to parse anything into something at least minimally comprehensible.

so, basically a world pidginiser, that could then grow with generations into a nice and dynamic semi-natural auxlang ))) then i thought using Toki Pona words as classifiers could be a nice idea.

then i realised this is kinda what Toki Pona does already, and i got a burst of motivation to binge-finish that "o pilin e toki pona" YouTube series.

and then i discovered that Toki Pona "as is" already uses similar principles of vocab evolution that i wanted in that personal conlang.

and that's what really turbo-fueled my motivation to learn it. which brought me here.

sorry for it being that long 😂

[gleaming thunder]

[hazy summit]

jelato - small grammar particle

musi Ako la, sina ken kepeken jelato li ken kepeken ala sitelen lili - in musi Ako, you can use a small grammar particle without it being counted as using a letter

from spanish “ya me lo ha dado” - they have already given me it

(those aren’t small grammar particles but they’re short two letter words so they’re close enough)

ground floor included?

[sullen bolt]

I guess we'll never know

[sullen bolt]

ask this guy

[junior ice]

which ground floor? the basement or the first floor (as in the one closest to the ground but above the ground)?

[obtuse geyser]

Yes

lijakesi - to turn someone into a frog with magic
< toki pona li akesi

[obtuse geyser]

Ety { Esperanto (ðat one spell from ðe tp cover of ðat Ashly song Misali did)

[night ingot]

can you lijakesi someone who is already akesi

does it stack

[obtuse geyser]

I hope so

[night ingot]

can one become akesi^2

[obtuse geyser]

akesiᵆ

[junior ice]

they become a different akesi

[dusty oracle]

akesi squared

[junior ice]

or akesi², depends on the subject

[night ingot]

this is so awesome

stackable akesi stats

[dusty oracle]

mi jojinke e akesi²

[night ingot]

WOAH

[junior ice]

(and/or whether potions or spoken phrases lijakesi e)

[night ingot]

if u jojinke a stacked akesi do u get all the akesis or just one at a time

[junior ice]

[dusty oracle]

[night ingot]

[night ingot]

jan li ken jojinke akesi mute kepeken jojinke wan

[dusty oracle]

of course you can exercise restraint and delicately jojinke just one, but you have the ability to jojinke them ale

[junior ice]

depends on the subject, maybe specifying with the object? e.g. "mi jojinke e akesi mute ale/wan"

[night ingot]

true

announcing your jojinkes like pokemon moves

[dusty oracle]

mi jojinke e ale akesi⁴

[night ingot]

mi jojinke e akesi wan tan akesi²

ni la akesi² li kama akesi sin

[dusty oracle]

you can also use the power of jojinke to lijakesi. stack multiple akesi² for example

[night ingot]

have we accidentally made maths

mi lijakesi akesi la ona li kama akesi².
mi jojinke akesi wan tan akesi² la ona li kama akesi.

[fleet lily]

akesi - mathematical concept marker

[night ingot]

an akesi is an unknown

multiply should be sike i think

[junior ice]

wait does toki pona have affixes

[night ingot]

no i dont think

[fleet lily]

affixes li seme

[junior ice]

what about nimisin affixes

[night ingot]

none that i can think of

[junior ice]

prefixes, infixes, suffixes, its an umbrella term

[junior ice]

Oh

[night ingot]

maybe im just not thinking hard enough

[fleet lily]

ohhhh yeah no i dont think we do

[night ingot]

multiply sike, divide kipisi?

[violet ether]

when others create bad nimisin it gets on the starboard but us?

[obtuse geyser]

[gleaming thunder]

okay but to be fair papa is super bad

and also this is attached to toki suli and hidden in a thread so

[dusty oracle]

it's bad but in the good ironic way

anyway make jojinke official

[obtuse geyser]

It

Sucks phonetically

It is like

Ðe opposite of phonaesþetically pleasing

[gleaming thunder]

my semi-joke word for explaining a nimi sin using toki pona, mejunko, sounds better than this

oh yeah I never shared mejunko

mejunko - toki e nimi sin kepeken toki pona kepeken ala kokosila

I would put this in the mediocre thread but eh

[fleet lily]

lon.....

[outer talon]

no that’s not the issue, we aren’t allowed to have bad nimisin on the starboard here

[gleaming thunder]

ah

[outer talon]

tan seme a a

[sullen bolt]

that word is useless in my opinion

I don't know

[gleaming thunder]

that’s literally the point

[gleaming thunder]

basically kokosila but for explaining nimi sin

[outer talon]

yeah so why put that in the mediocre thread

[gleaming thunder]

I do feel like a lot of people explain nimi sin in English so mejunko is sort of a nasin

[sullen bolt]

where is the starboard? like, in what channel did you see that?

[gleaming thunder]

I felt like it was better than a “bad nimisin”

[gleaming thunder]

#pona-kulupu

[outer talon]

actually that’s fair

[sullen bolt]

thanks

[outer talon]

it’s not “good” but it’s bit down with these words either

[gleaming thunder]

yeah

I don’t think it’s a good nimisin either I think it’s just mostly more useful

like alente but constructive

since alente was made with the intent of being a joke that shuts down nimi sin

so I want a joke that challenges someone to explain a nimi sin in toki pona without circular reasoning

“sikako li “snail”” li mejunko ala
“sikako li sikako a li sama molusa” li mejunko ala
“sikako li pipi ko kepeken kiwen sike” li mejunko

I miss people coming up with sitelen pona for each of their new nimisin no matter what

[gleaming thunder]

I do that with most of the ones that are not complete shitposts

[steady root]

oh that's awesome

[gleaming thunder]

I too also enjoy making sitelen pona

[gleaming thunder]

plus this one already has a sitelen pona

[sullen bolt]

some sitelen pona for some nimisin

[steady root]

ski ...

[gleaming thunder]

actually that’s not true I have one of my shitpost words which has a sitelen pona

mejunko is missing from here but it’s here #pali-musi message

some of these words were changed to sound slightly better

[sullen bolt]

I love wakosakilakisita

[dusty oracle]

i would say for the promo material like this for kepa it might be good to big up the "organisation, orderly" space too

[gleaming thunder]

tokiponizing keysmashes can be a fun exercise

[gleaming thunder]

oh yeah!

I should just make a little business card for kepa at this point

probably the only nimi sin of mine that I truly enjoy

[obtuse geyser]

Fine one moment

[outer talon]

yeah but this is bad nimisin and they’re made to be total shitposts with as little quality as possible

[dusty oracle]

the best shitposters put effort into their work

[obtuse geyser]

A lot of the defs are too long

I even made ss

My favorite is that on’s ss is a shitty sketch of a themepark ride in 3 point prespect

I have been putting of finishing the og sketch since May or June

“to rip ass” we have different ideas on what ripping ass means

[obtuse geyser]

It means to do well

If someone rips, like wow ðey rip at tennis, it means ðey are good at it right.

And ass is often used an emphasis, like “ðis sucks ass!”

So to rip ass means to be fucking nuts at someþing

[gleaming thunder]

I see

I only think of it as “farting”

it’s the skunk brain in me I think

[obtuse geyser]

Get well soon
