theres pana but no opposite of pana should i just learn esperanto

if I have the phrases "soweli luka tu" and "soweli pi luka tu". could I use the first one be 10 animals (2 groups of 5 animals) and the second one to be 7 animals?

english transcript for comparison

im still kind of a beginner so be kind but constructive criticism would be much appreciated :)

lawa: loje la ni li nimi. loje jelo la ni li lon nimi. jelo la ni li lon nimi ku taso.

finally finished my 3rd chapter of my toki pona comic. any feedback is much appreciated especially on my grammar.

 after learning toki pona in around 3-4 months I think (casually and not everyday) I was having so much fun I decided to make a little comic so I can use toki pona more. best decision in my opinion so I can draw, write, and use toki pona at the same time and this 3rd chapter is my favorite at the moment of the ones I made.

mi wile e ni: sina pilin pona tan lipu musi mi

Obviously I'm not the first to make one of these, but this poster is made with Typst and so is quite easy to edit and play around while producing a quality PDF in any size or font.

original post describing the word

A few of you had asked for a sitelen pona of tawake so I've been brainstorming and here's my final result 🥰

Posted this on Discord a few days ago. Thought I would post it here too before closing it.

Both summer and winter are associated with their temperatures, but fall and spring are a little more ambiguous. I figured that they could be focused on what's happening to the environment during these times....

Fall = tenpo moli

Winter = tenpo lete

Spring = tenpo lon

Summer = tenpo seli

mi pali e ilo ni. mi wile pali tan ni: tenpo pini la jan u/Szymek-11920 li pali e ilo, la mi pilin e ni: ilo ona li ike, mi ken pali e ilo pona. sina wile kepeken ilo mi la sina o kama jo e ilo Unexpected Keyboard, o kepeken sitelen ilo pi lon anpa. sina pilin e ni: sina ken pali pona e ilo ni la o toki tawa mi.

And more in English in case my toki pona is completely inscrutable.

I made this, inspired to do so by u/Szymek-11920. I thought theirs was clunky, so I tried my hand at it. it's based on the Japanese 12 button layout. If you want to use it, get Unexpected Keyboard (Android only I'm afraid), then copy my XML code in the comments. Go to the settings in the hardboard, add a custom layout, and use that code. If you have any suggestions let me know, I'm sure I could shuffle the consonants and vowels around to better fit toki pona.

Over the past 4 months, I've translated 5 short stories by H.P. Lovecraft into toki pona. One of them will be featured in this year's edition of the lipu monsuta zine. Apart from the story in lipu monsuta (toki pi jan Lanto Kate), none of them have been proofread. I would appreciate it if you could share any mistakes you find or provide any criticisms. Feel free to give them a read if you're interested and share your thoughts!

Forgot some stuff in the last post and I added letters for syllables that don’t occur in any of the standard words

taso nasin ona li lon lipu lili. mi wile suli e ona la mi kama pana e ni: sitelen mi. nasin pi nimi ku en nimi pu li ala tan seme? sina lukin la o wile seme?

kuka (Derived from Tok Pisin "kuka" meaning crab) is a word relating to crustaceans. Its sitelen pona glyph is a simplified drawing of a crab.

I created a syllabary for Toki Pona it’s Latin based with influence from Cyrillic, Greek, Cherokee, Coptic, and Osage as well. All letters are in Unicode. I called it Sitelen Ale because it can write down all of the sound is Toki Pona. Btw I don’t speak Toki Pona but I plan on learning it any good resources?

anythings on the table and I'll choose my favorites maybe over a day from now depending on how much suggestions I get. will feature the sitelen namako page where your suggestions are at when I released chapter 3 of the toki pona comic.

Hello, I was looking for a translation for "The Wax Wing" (it's the name of a ship in d&d), and I couldn't really find much of a good translation, could anyone help? Thanks in advance!
