teto
verb:
to think Kasane Teto is a vocaloid
etymology: that day when I first found "te" and "to", I thought of the common misconception that Teto is a vocaloid

sitelen pona would be: 「」

[native zodiac]

this is funny because i remember te and to by thinking of teto

[proper totem]

I remember because tote sounds like quoté which is quotes

[unique cloud]

tote - quote

--> "jan mute ala li kepeken e 'te-to'. ni li ike." (a small number of people uses the te-to. this is bad.)

ka - living being, to live, alive, existing, person, animal, animate
<- tuki tiki ka of the same meaning

kepekene - good practice, to recommend

[timber pulsar]

i think the original ka was much worse

[mystic moon]

ka - ~toki sapin~ particle
← toki pona, kama
It is the same as "li" but has the meaning of "tenpo kama" built into it.
So, "akesi ka moku" is the same as "tenpo kama la akesi li moku"

#066500 ka

[gleaming thunder]

I beg your pardon, toki sapin?

[timber pulsar]

i don’t know what it means

[gleaming thunder]

saying "Authoritarian" as the definition is more politically charged than it is a silly joke. saying "this is literally 1984 george orwell" is more of a joke than politically charged

all my owe nimisin are ironic, i know nothing about politics and have no opinion

you should read the book anyway its fun

you should read the book and critically analyze it, because it's a shit book

[unborn jackal]

i've heard it's a fun book to read though, i may if i can find the time

[spare star]

idk how people can take 1984 at face value and find it fun

[astral valve]

I agree with you. The author is a hypocrite of the first order

[spare star]

its like no one actually thinks anymore about

[violet jungle]

ive read through the book and thought a lot about it and i dont see why you would call it shit

[spare star]

anything

ever

[violet jungle]

that has nothing to do with the value of the book itself tho

[spare star]

yes it does

[gilded loom]

why shouldn’t i read lipu owe? that seems rather orwellian to me

[spare star]

you can't separate political works from the context of the author

it's my favorite book and would make me happy~~ and you can join my army of conquest~~

[spare star]

and the author was a staunch anti-communist who believed that the bolsheviks were the greatest evil and collaborated with police to catch communists and send them to prison

[violet jungle]

i can, if you cant then thats a you problem i guess
especially considering how this is an entirely fictional work

[nova lake]

i don't consider orwell's books to be 'political' at first

sure the topics are political but the important part is the argument

the story

[astral valve]

Calling his books "entirely fictional" is kinda inaccurate. It's pretty clear that he is referring to the soviet union and CPSU

[nova lake]

mi la a political book wouldn't may attention to the development of the characters

[nova lake]

i respectfully disagree

[violet jungle]

in animal farm, yes. in 1984? not really

[spare star]

fiction can carry political messages giys

[nova lake]

anyway why are we suddenly discussing political fiction in bad nimisin?????

[dusky coral]

this is such a bad nimisin discussion

[spare star]

1984 is inherently making a political statement about "authoritarianism"

[fleet lily]

worlds most toki ike

[violet jungle]

yes
why did you put it in quotes

[spare star]

because its not a concept that should be taken seriously

[violet jungle]

what

[astral valve]

Read "On Authority" by Friedrich Engels

[violet jungle]

nah engels is cringe

[unborn jackal]

akamenta - when an argument breaks out and you dont know anything about the topic so you just sit there confused awkwardly wondering if this is partially your fault

[fleet lily]

i think owe is the butt of people joking about any mild kind of authority and making a bad nimisin joking about the book 1984 by george orwell is satirizing it

[astral valve]

It explains why the concept of Authoritarianism is useless. Any reasonable societal change requires imposition of authority

[spare star]

saying "read x theory" is never conducive for any conversation even if i agree with you sorry

[violet jungle]

sounds like something an authoritarian would say

(engels)

[astral valve]

I agree but its barely 2 pages

[night vault]

ok so i split the sike kule into sectors of loje laso and jelo. if a color is in a sector, that means i would understand if you called it that color (i.e. i would understand if you called magenta as either laso or loje)
see the intersections? this is where 3 bad nimisin come in
masen ← magenta, from Italian magenta
poto ← orange, from Greek πορτοκαλί (portokalí) and πορτοκάλι (portokáli). one is the fruit, the other is the color. guess which one is which.
kimi ← lime, from japanese 黄緑 (ki+midori)
these colors replace loje laso and jelo as the new triad of colors. (e.g. cyan is either masen or kimi).
as you can see, the sitelen pona for these nimi are based on kule. masen has the right end point down, kimi has it straight, and poto has it point up. this will be confusing.

new sike kule with masen, kimi, and poto

i spent too much time on this nonsense

[crystal socket]

masenta encompassing both red and blue is so bad (so it is actually good because it is in this channel)

[night vault]

masen*, i ate the ta

[crystal socket]

EATED !!!

[night vault]

accidentally made a more balanced triad lmao

[crystal socket]

Why did you make laso go 3/4 on the color wheel on ur original image though fkjnhdjhbv

[night vault]

because it does

jelo is worthless

just use loje or laso

the poto section goes hard

wait a second, did you painstakingly edit my picture to do that? you could've just asked for a blank template lmao

[unborn jackal]

i did manually edit your picture
(it was not painstaking though i spent approximately 30 seconds and you can see a bunch of places where i accidentally nicked a bit out of the wheel or left too much lmao)

it just adds to the bad-ness of the picture and nimisin

[night vault]

any bad sitelen pona ideas for lejo and losa?

[steady root]

all of the os at the end of words should be loaned into toki pona as u

and verde should be loaned as wesi, and "turquese" should be loaned as "tukesi"

i would also loan água-marinha as akuwamalinja

[stark iris]

Are there like specific rules for how to loan words into Toki Pona apart from 'Use valid syllables and don't use any 'nn's or 'nm's' or is this just how you would make this

[steady root]

there are! you loan based on the pronounced sounds in the native language

right so this doesn't sound like "wete"

it sounds much closer to "wesi"

even if it's spelled with an e

[stark iris]

Ohhh right I see

[night vault]

i dont know that much about Portuguese, but why loan agua as akuwa instead of just awa? is that g that prominent?

[steady root]

ni li faz ala faz sentido

[stark iris]

akuwamalina was too long

[steady root]

yeah, in spanish it's a fricative but in portuguese it's pronounced very clearly as a plosive

[stark iris]

Thanks for clarifying

[steady root]

as opposed to in spanish

[night vault]

ah makes sense then

[steady root]

well in any case this is #1181641057985908797

if you want to make it shorter i'd preserve the g instead of the u

so akamalinja

[night vault]

[night vault]

chromatic spaces of loje, jelo, laso, and then poto, kimi, masen, lejo, losa, and kule

[stark iris]

Hold on a minute

[stark iris]

All the colors minus leto and lanko because those are self-explanatory

[stark iris]

You should add kapesi and unu (They're ku lili)

[night vault]

sure, where do you think they would fall under? (here's a blank template so you can edit)

[stark iris]

Kapesi means Gray and Brown but there aren't any Grays or Browns in the image so I settled for the next best thing

@night vault

[steady root]

using kapesi for orange is so weird I love it

this is so #1181641057985908797 core

[gilded loom]

brown is literally not on this color circle

[uncut pasture]

reject any color words just slap anything after kule /j
(ok i might actually do this idk)

[stark iris]

My reasoning is that 'brown is just dark orange, and dark red and darrk yellow are similar to brown'

[dusty oracle]

kule Piton li kule pi kule laso

[night vault]

if i used kapesi, i would totally use it for orange

[gleaming thunder]

me using kapesi for gray

[steady root]

brown is just some sort of gray that biases orange, red, or yellow

[gilded loom]

lo
je
— orange

[steady root]

gray is when the shade doesn't bias any color

so yes, you're correct

[steady root]

however, this points at some reasons to not use kapesi, because grays and browns are inherently dark in context, and we have pimeja and other words to describe the hues a given gray or brown or other dark color could bias

i have an idea for a bad nimisin

"isipin"

it means "think"

the joke is that that's just obviously a bad idea

[fleet lily]

no way

[stark iris]

???

[rocky thunder]

isipin is a kind of toki and sometimes pilin

[fleet lily]

a sona even tbh

[crystal socket]

Okay but like for real can someone give me a like good definition or usage of isipin. I hjave never understood the proper use for it other than like brainstorm ig

[rocky thunder]

isipin kind of gives people an escape hatch with a catch-all word about internal communication

mi pilin e ni - i feel this, i experience this; this is my opinion; it's a feeling but not necessarily knowledge or even knowable
mi toki e ni (tawa mi) / mi toki insa e ni - i communicate this with myself, i internally communicate this - i'm contemplating something, i'm reasoning
mi sona e ni - i know this, this is an understanding of mine

isipin takes away from all of these uses that are actually more specific and help understanding

[rocky thunder]

i believe a big thing that people changed it for was being more contemplative and like internal reasoning and stuff

but that's still toki to me

[crystal socket]

Yeah that just seems like toki

[crystal socket]

Also I heavy agree with this kind of distinction because like

[fleet lily]

isipin could probably be like logic or reasoning but that's also mildly sona

[rocky thunder]

logic and reasoning is also a type of nasin

[crystal socket]

mi toki insa feels more cemented than pilin in regards to how you treat the knowledge tawa mi

[fleet lily]

lon...

[crystal socket]

pilin i use it mostly for opinions

(in the context of like pilin vs sona)

[fleet lily]

nasin mi la i very rarely use toki insa because it's neither through a medium or between multiple entities i have no idea why it caught on as The One

[rocky thunder]

me neither tbh

i just thought it was common so i said it

[fleet lily]

i only use it when it's specifically internal monologue (there's a medium/language)

[crystal socket]

sama

Like you are literaly toki ing

[rocky thunder]

in my opinion, even if isipin is unique in like talking about contemplating and brainstorming and whatnot, it feels niche enough then that it's still better to take your time with multiple sentences and descriptions for the process of thinking

[crystal socket]

yea

The only time I have actually ever used it was like as a joke

[rocky thunder]

since toki pona is about being able to break down those ideas
