[winged goblet]

wallah

and thats. how its written in actual arabic too

[rough anvil]

i know lol its silli

[winged goblet]

oh sorry 😅

[rough anvil]

its the charachter for sewi (allah in arabic) with a thingy added that looks like the numeral 9

[prisma crest]

Indeed.

I even suggested a new article for sona pona about this nimisin, perhaps it is accepted by the mods because they are chill.

[molten eagle]

it needs more usage honestly

[prisma crest]

lon, wala!

[atomic crow]

tanwetuta - to prevent railway fatalities

[prisma crest]

Where did you even get that word from?

[atomic crow]

Etymology:
Australian English - "Dumb Ways To Die"

[prisma crest]

Ah, I see.

[static mirage]

wala – alas
-# from voila

[night nova]

but- voilà doesn't mean alas

[static mirage]

oh

then whatever voila means then

[static mirage]

nute – very much in a negative amount, -20.

probably like “nute nute (-40)” idrk

[ancient pine]

HEY I CAME UP WITH THE MEANING @static mirage

[static mirage]

oh lol

i can add on it like you put very much in a negative amount and i put -20 or something idk

[ancient pine]

ok ig @ancient pine, @static mirage, and @steady sphinx all created it for the spelling, negative, and -20

[steady sphinx]

I came up with the name

[ancient pine]

although -20 is kinda included in negative....

yes i said that

[steady sphinx]

so nute mute would be zero?

or -20 * 20

[ancient pine]

it would be grammaticaly incorrect lolol

[steady sphinx]

ok but nute nute isn't -20*-20 so

[steady sphinx]

!?

in what way??

oh wow I'm speaking so much toki pona that I accidentally said "in what way" as a literaltranslation of "tan seme"

[ancient pine]

or another way to say ala?

[steady sphinx]

mmhm

[ancient pine]

HAHA

or mute nute

well... we kinda have to come up with more to fit the negative side...

or keep it at just that to make it a joke nimisin

which one??

[steady sphinx]

hm

can't we use the existing number system

[steady sphinx]

oooohh

[ancient pine]

ig but this is funnier

[steady sphinx]

lwk keep it as a joke please

[ancient pine]

a

mi wekama

bye for now

[steady sphinx]

oke a

[ancient pine]

I am back also I do think it should be considered grammatically incorrect to say mute nute or nute mute if it's going to be a joke word

@steady sphinx

[steady sphinx]

why??

[ancient pine]

because it's hilarious

[steady sphinx]

let me guess, only because it's a joke word?

[ancient pine]

yeah

[steady sphinx]

what's the reason for it to be a word then??

you gotta put it in a sentence or something??

This is by far and away the most unhinged thread on this server

Tbf in a good way, the stupid jokes are great

[gilded loom]

this reminds me of a certain 2 year old message

[coarse vigil]

I have unfortunately not been here for two years

(In this discord I mean, I have been on this planet for more than two years)

[gilded loom]

it's in a different server anyway

[outer spire]

we;re so alike

[coarse vigil]

OMG NO WAAAYYYYY

tuja - to have been on this planet for more than two years.

[outer spire]

woah

[rancid dew]

you can add more tu to add exactly 2 to the definition
tutuja would be to have been on this planet for more than 4 years
this only works with tu

[coarse vigil]

Remind me in 2 years to post a nimisin saying " tuja - to have been on this planet long enough to understand this reference"

Can you schedule send messages?

[coarse vigil]

Why are we making this word ourselves? We could just get waso Wisi to do it for us

[runic hare]

ai mentality but okay

nah i'm gonna continue the polls

it's pretty definitively i, so should it have a coda n or no

first one to reply gets to decide

[night nova]

no coda n

[runic hare]

so the first syllable is ki

[night nova]

this is shaping up to be a very tinny sort of word

[runic hare]

kili
this isn't a nimisin but a meaning reform. basically no one uses kili on a day to day basis, so i thought of ways to make its meaning also have an abstract form like other words, and i came up with this:

when i think of an example of a random something, i think of apples. usually when people need an object to use as an example, they use an apple
so what if kili also meant example

[rancid dew]

ken la pona

[coarse vigil]

O WUWOJITI

[rancid dew]

we should cram in as much u as possible

[night nova]

given we already started with "ki" i believe we would've already failed at that goal

[night nova]

just as an inocuous question, how long are you planning on making this word?

[rancid dew]

57th times the charm

[runic hare]

that's a good point

i'm not actually sure

i guess 2 syllables since that's where most tp words end

[night nova]

have you considered 7 syllables?

[outer spire]

i think it would be funny if it kept going until a poll gets 0 votes

[night nova]

i think at some point there has to be a [end word here] option for every subsequent syllable

[runic hare]

my tokiponido has two nasins. while this may seem excessive, it has its perks

one of the nasins means "method." the other (talan) means "path"

when you're using nasin in toki pona to talk about metaphorical paths, it may be mistaken for a method. for example, someone's destiny is a type of metaphorical path, but not really a type of method

2 nasins kinda fix this problem

what do you think

[crystal osprey]

I like the idea

Though usually context works to clarify that in my experience

[ancient pine]

is it just going to be kijetesantakalu

[ancient pine]

ok then

NUTE: Negative, -20 !!!JOKE WORD!!! (because im 99% sure theres already a system for that) nute mute or mute nute technically would mean the same as ala but ive decided it's grammatically incorrect because thats funny

[willow cedar]

This is the wrong forum, that's actually a good idea

[prisma crest]

Sounds unironically good.

Though I think I know how one could express the nuances of your nasin and talan without invoking a new word (not saying a new word wasn’t useful though!): ilo nasin (literally tool related to the path, to be red as method) and kule nasin (literally color of the path, to be interpreted as path in its metaphorical meaning) respectively.

For the LITERAL path, one could use just nasin. That’s at least how I’d solve the ambiguity.

[prisma crest]

Now obviously, in the latter substitution, the context would usually make it clear whether it’s the LITERAL color of the path or just the kind of path taken.

In case of a more philosophical path (a.k.a. a way of being, a school of thought or similar), one could just use kule toki (literally color of speech, to be read as way of thought; more explicit and less confusing would be kule pi toki insa translating to *color of internal speech [a.k.a. thought]).

Other similar expressions may exist.

In general, in case you couldn’t already tell, I personally use kule with the extended rough translations type of … and way of … where the ellipses are obviously the continuations of the phrase.

But looking at the substitutions I used here, it is clear just how ambiguous they are, oftentimes even WITH context.

And so is this.

😄

[crystal osprey]

santa - satan
satan - santa

toki pona - English

Now we need sata and santan

[prisma crest]

😭

[prisma crest]

Yeah, especially the latter sounds like the character of a story where a person is both an angel and a demon and people are just confused.

Perhaps something like multiple personality or something?

[winged goblet]

sata - stupid person, foolish
santan - smart person, intelligent

[prisma crest]

Actually, I will borrow this idea, thank you!

mamama
1.5 parents

[flint sage]

synonym of kijetesantakalu

[static mirage]

whats the 0.5

[night nova]

"0.5" in base 10 (ten) represents 1/2, so 1/2 of a parent
hope this helps 👍

[flint sage]

ħow do you get ħalf ã parent

[static mirage]

thats what i was asking

[oak marsh]

you just do

ma is half a parent

mama is 1 parent

so mamama is 1.5 parents

[crystal osprey]

But 10 is four, not 22. (From quaternary user)

[night nova]

quaternary? that's unusual

have you considered just biting the bullet and using binary?

[crystal osprey]

What, just because it's logarithmically in the middle of 2 and 20?

[oak marsh]

is this considered alliteration

biting the bullet and using binary

[night nova]

wow didn't notice

i'm a poet and i didn't even know it

[neon notch]

alternate universe where humans have 4 fingers:

[night nova]

what? no, it's just that if you like the power of 2ness you'd be better off with binary, and if you like intuitiveness and pona-ness (for lack of a better term) then you'd go with base 6

[crystal osprey]

That's true, but I just arbitrarily picked a base to make the joke in

[night nova]

a, pona

[crystal osprey]

Ten is 154 in base -6

That could also have been my pick

Bases are fun

But not relevant enough to this channel to continue talking here I think

i just realized that this translates to "old new" and should actually be "nimimajuna"

[oak marsh]

that's like making pona mean objectively good and then making a new word that means subjectively good

it's not like that, it quite literally is exactly that

[gritty burrow]

aaa toki mi li mi ala

[barren star]

its ma Monkoyo

[remote sun]

that's only in "Monkoyo"

y differs by word

for example, in yutu it's dʒ

[barren star]

no it doesnt

[remote sun]

the creator of yutu said it does and they made yutu so

it was the second y word

[barren star]

i mean y is only defined for mongolians and i choose to pronounce it like all of the others

[remote sun]

that can go for yupekosi and Monkoyo but Sonja (And mongolians) have no authority over yutu it's just personal choice

[oak marsh]

ala
third pronunciational variant of ale but it sucks because it's a homophone AND homogram

[tulip fox]

homograph?

[untold quarry]

al?
infinitely many pronunciation variants of ale. after the a vowel and l consonant, any sound you want can follow and it means ale
doesn't have to be a vowel, can be as long as you want, doesnt even have to be vocal. you can crash your car after saying al and it means that

example sentence

al 🚗 🎆 li pakala a la palisa lon insa sijelo mi

[crystal osprey]

🚨 -

[untold quarry]

o lukin e ala

[crystal osprey]

Would kalama ala count as a kalama for al??

[untold quarry]

sina pilin monsuta ala la lon

[crystal osprey]

In other words, kalama ala li kalama ala kalama

[tulip fox]

[gilded loom]

it was already ruined before this thread

[prisma crest]

😭

[coarse vigil]

Yeah, its kinda in the nature of tp that ppl dont want more words, nimisins only get accepted when there is literally no other way of expressing that concept

[gilded loom]

i mean there were ways of expressing tonsi before tonsi

[desert tapir]

mi la, nanpa 200 li tu ale la nanpa 40 li ken "tu mute":3

kin la, nanpa 60 li ken tu wan mute, + nanpa 80 li ken tu tu mute (sama nasin nanpa pi toki Kanse)

[desert tapir]

sitelen pona la

[coarse vigil]

Like what?

[gilded loom]

"sijelo pi jan ni li mije. taso pilin ona li meli"
"jan ni li meli ala li mije ala"

you know, sentences

[coarse vigil]

Ok but what about without mije/meli?

[gilded loom]

luckily these words exist so we don't need to act as if they didn't

[coarse vigil]

Yeah, but like the reason we accepted mije/meli/tonsi is because we need those terms to express stuff, and it would be an inherent bias in the language if we didnt have tonsi

[gilded loom]

this also applies to soko and n

[coarse vigil]

Yeah true tbf

-# Etymology: From Toki Pona nimi + sona

[night vault]

is there a meaning to fried egg other than an egg that is fried

[outer spire]

scrambled eggs aren't fried eggs despite being eggs that are fried

[flint sage]

amapisa

[oak marsh]

amapisala
to not get into an argument about the definition of a fried egg

[outer spire]

did they claim that any egg that has been fried is a fried egg?

if so i don't really blame them, even though they're wrong
language can be stupid and counter-intuitive sometimes

especially english

[livid shale]

I was the one arguing for that. I mean, it just makes sense

“because you can’t have a chair without a table”

[normal canyon]

r has been a disaster to the nimisin society

[night nova]

honestly the concept of documented humorous nimi sin is pretty funny to me now that i am more immersed in the actual toki pona culture that creates them, it's like, somebody made a random joke a few years ago, but because there were like 1/3 of the tokiponists there are now that joke gets to be enshrined into the linku sanbox and sona pona for the rest of time, even though it's not any funnier or more culturally relevant than the ones people make nowadays
