since there is no /A/, it should just get lowercased

.n brainrot

[mystic moon]

Brainrot is a slang word used to describe mental decline from consuming "low quality" content. It has ableist connotations, such as maintaining stereotypes about the causes of mental illness, so it's better to avoid it. Using "brainrot" to describe modern slang terms like "rizz" and "gyatt" is also problematic in another way, as those words derive from African American Vernacular English.

When discussing language, it's best to analyze how it came about and what it implies. Be kind and compassionate when discussing modern day slang!

luwi (Redefinition of linluwi); While a linluwi refers to a net like the internet or a webpage, the word luwi tries to extend this meaning into something broader. luwi could refer to a pattern, a matrix, a mosaic, a god, a hairdo, the rules of a game, physical laws, style, ideology, any pattern, social structure, organization, stadistics, luck, and much much more.

I don't know, it was just a tiny proposal, do you really find it attractive enough?

I'm surprised

[remote sun]

well i think its extent could be reduced slightly (a god and a hairdo aren't very similar) but if it was so, it would be leaps and bounds ahead of current linluwi

"pattern" and "net" is a good definition

currently it overlaps with nasin quite a lot

but removing the overlap it's not too bad of a word

nobody knows how to pronounce the "_ _"

[heavy wyvern]

maybe it's pronounced like the x in xnopyt

which is pronounced like the y in yupekosi

not in my dialect

[light canyon]

well you just have an accent /j

the proto-it-came-*-with-your-*-*

oh okay

[heavy wyvern]

yeah, the original kinda sucks

[mortal turret]

that means its roughly pronounced as /ʀ̥~χ~x/

[heavy wyvern]

[heavy wyvern]

im choosing to interpret this as <y> being pronounced /y̯u.pe.ko.si/ not the word being pronounced that way.

so it's like, /y̯u.pe.ko.si.u.pe.ko.si/

[remote sun]

yeah exactly, t̼θ̼, or d̼ð̼ (also written as p̺ɸ̺ and b̺β̺)

i intended the unvoiced

[remote sun]

linguolabials may be the only ipa letter than can be written in 2 different ways without implying much about the sound

you can write it as a linguo or a labial

OH WAIT

i forgor

it's meant to be a lateral affricate

t̼l̼

[gilded loom]

does any language in the world have linguolabial sounds

[charred pawn]

yes

[potent ermine]

Huh? Lol it is not. I couldn't express it in English so i used Google Translate for some parts. Also it doesn't have meaning, just a random nonsense.

[light canyon]

oh the Google translate thing explains it

[potent ermine]

lol ☠️🙏 why? Does it sound unnatural?

Yeah it would sound unnatural in my native language tho

[light canyon]

yes a little bit
it just feels like the sort of thing an AI would generate

[charred pawn]

it really just sounds like how an llm would type

[light canyon]

yea exactly
I don't know how to explain it otherwise

[potent ermine]

yeah 🙏 i translated this:

How common are -n ended syllables in TP anyway

[gleaming ravine]

...mute

[light canyon]

in an idealistic mathematical utopia, assuming pi to be 3.14 and e to be 3.2, with no friction, in which air resistance is negligible, 50% of all toki pona syllables end in -n /hj

[wet ibex]

Ok. Now weight them on frequency

[light canyon]

that response was a joke fyi

[wet ibex]

Ok

[fresh wave]

sopo : to hear about toki pona then try to learn it over a weekend, then join a tpt vc in mpptp fully expecting to be fully conversational, but when you try to start talking you realize that you actually aren't fluent in tp (shocker), and you also can't understand anything. so you leave the vc (but not the server) and never touch the language again

-# derived from the english slang term "lameo"

[drowsy gate]

Yeah well, it is the same difference between the "mi tawa tomo" and "mi tawa e tomo" example

Jan Suko was speaking about it yesterday I think

o lukin e mi and o lukin mi have separate meanings

[gilded loom]

jan isnt capitalized because its not a proper name, its just the regular toki pona word jan meaning human (jan Suko is a Suko-ish person)

[shut cargo]

i always have to fix autocorrect when it capitalizes the word jan

[orchid lily]

what is the difference

[drowsy gate]

D: There was a coomand which automaticly showed a cheatnote relating to it

But I don't know how to use it

The difference is this:

[gilded loom]

'look at me' vs 'be my eye' or smth

we got learning in bad nimisin 🔥

[drowsy gate]

Yeah xd

mi tawa tomo ---> I'm going to the house

mi tawa _e_tomo ---> I'm moving the house

It's trichy

[shut cargo]

o lukin mi can also mean try to be me

because lukin is a preverb

[floral bridge]

jan li kama e mi

people have summoned me

[shut cargo]

amisaje - literally the same as jasima

toki!

[floral bridge]

Yeah I agree "look at me" would need something between lukin and mi, could be e, could also be tawa or even lon

Although I feel like in English "look at me!" doesn't usually mean that literally, it means something more like "look at what I am doing!" or "look at what I am interacting with!" or "be surprised at my current unusual appearance!"

[potent ermine]

Why did you even want to change it in the first place?

[charred pawn]

think of what jasima means and look at the word more closely

[potent ermine]

mirror, reflection. But i can not understand what you meant.

[charred pawn]

reverse "amisaje"

[potent ermine]

ejasima

ejasima???

Haaa

I got it ☠️

No

I didnt

Wait

Why

So we mirrored jasima? But why the e

[charred pawn]

so that its a valid tp word

and e is close to ə which is used in unstressed syllables

[shut cargo]

i could have done amisa

but that didn’t seem quite right

[light canyon]

lukin isn't a preposition tho?????

o lukin mi means "try to be me" or "look like me"

[orchid lily]

can o lukin sama mi mean the sam thing?

[light canyon]

yea

[woeful iris]

unpa - to perform an activity that requires a lot of physical effort

• onomatopoeic

eg.

"mi sewi unpa e kiwen" - "I lifted the rock, using a lot of effort"

[orchid lily]

kuwatewipeki ~ quadriplexic

[chrome flame]

siwi - sewi but all the vowels are high

[gilded loom]

anpa - anpa but all the vowels are low

[light canyon]

never unpa'd before does unpa require a lot of physical effort

[woeful iris]

I based it off the sound of lifting a heavy object

But probably

[drowsy gate]

I do not understand the question, to be honest. Of course, has no prepositional use.

I had never heard of lukin to have an imitative meaning

Why do you choose it as the first option? It is just a lot easier to interprehet "lukin" as "to look".

[shut cargo]

“lukin” is a word like “kama” or “wile”, but the same meaning is more common with “ona li alasa ijo” (they try to do something)

[potent ermine]

🚨 tukutukusakulu

Meaning
Tung tung sahur 🗣️🔥🤫

[gilded loom]

why not tunku

[charred pawn]

mi la i would to tuntuntunsaku or something

[potent ermine]

Huh? Can we use two consonant together?

[gilded loom]

yes if the first one is n and the other isn't another nasal

see: sinpin, monsi, kijetesantakalu, unpa etc

[potent ermine]

tunkutunkusaku

[charred pawn]

i dont wanna see unpa 🫣🙈

[gilded loom]

unpa

id do tun tun tun sajun for the syllable amount preservation

actually someone has already done this i think

[charred pawn]

why final -n

[gilded loom]

is alveolar like r

[charred pawn]

of course you made it nasal

[charred pawn]

akesi pi tomo tawa pi ilo pakala

meli pi tawa musi pi telo wawa

[gilded loom]

jaki lawa 😭

[charred pawn]

sitelen ilo

[light canyon]

it's not a question
I just added ????? to represent the tone I said it in

also, yes lukin isn't a preposition
that's why it can't be used like "tawa" when it's a verb

it needs either e or a preposition

[worldly peak]

wajo

[woeful iris]

Why does this look like the kokanu logography glyph for good

tope

[worldly peak]

because it's a good nimisin

[woeful iris]

ne ikama neso le tope

[drowsy gate]

I missunderstood you message, I am sorry. But verbs can also have modifiers, so no preposition nor e is mandatory for the case that we are discussing about

look at this example

of course, you can yet say mi pini e lape. But this option is still correct

Because lape modifies pini, doesn't it?

[shut cargo]

preverb: i finished sleeping
no preverb: i finished sleepily

[remote sun]

well here pini is a preverb

my question is why forward it to bad nimisin
