'''''12 Days of sona pi toki pona''''' is a series of {{w|YouTube}} videos made to teach the basics of [[Toki Pona]], created by {{tok|[[jan Misali]]}} in 2015. The series consists of 12 episodes, each introducing one or more grammar concepts (except for days 1 and 12), as well as 10 words from the {{tp|[[pu]]}} vocabulary (day 12 also introduces the "[[synonym]]s").
Each episode was created in one day<ref>{{tok|[[jan Misali]]}} [{{tok|janmisali}}] (4 November 2016). [//janmisali.tumblr.com/post/152749125712/i-already-said-a-lot-of-this-stuff-on-twitter-but "I already said a lot of this stuff on Twitter but it’s important that people who care about Conlang Critic know this so whatever."]. "a lot of people don’t know this about 12 Days of sona pi toki pona, but I actually wrote, recorded, and edited every video the same day it was uploaded, and I did this for twelve consecutive days." ''Tumblr''.</ref>, resulting in some minor mistakes. Despite this, 61% of respondents in the [[Toki Pona census|2022 census]] used it to learn the language, almost twice as many as for {{tp|[[pu]]}}<ref>{{tok|jan Tamalu}} (3 November 2022).

As of 2023, {{tok|jan Misali}} is in the process of creating a new series as a replacement, named [[toki pona lessons (jan Misali)|''toki pona lessons'']].

▲Many of these corrections have been collected by ijo Son - thanks!
*
* While {{tp|nasa}} is [[Dictionary (pu)|defined]] in ''[[Toki Pona: The Language of Good]]'' as "stupid", that meaning is currently considered by the community to be {{wp|ableist}} and no longer accepted or understood, and has been replaced with "silly" as of ''[[Toki Pona Dictionary]]'' for this reason.{{cite ku|13}}

===Day 5 – {{tok|la}}===
▲* "jan ike" doesn't always mean "enemy", and only means "enemy" if it's a person (because of the "jan").

===
* Only using {{tp|[[anu]]}} to form questions is debated.
▲* "mi wile e moku" is not incorrect. "moku" can be a direct object in this sentence. "mi wile moku" means "i want to eat", but "mi wile e moku" means "i want food".
*
* {{tp|akesi}} means "reptile" or "amphibian", which is reflected in the ''[[Toki Pona Dictionary]]''.

If {{tp|lon anpa}} is contrasted, it would mean "completely underneath the lowest part".
▲* "pi" does not mean "of". It only rebrackets adjectives. See [[pi]]

▲* you don't have to avoid having your name sounding like an official word if you don't want to.
▲=== '''Day 11: Full of eels''' ===
▲* "a" does not mean "so". it is just a particle used for emphasis. it can be used in a similar way to "so", but it has no meaning; it's just emphasis.
▲* jan Misali repeated "len" here. replace "len" with "supa", meaning "flat (horizontal) surface" (e.g. furniture)
▲* "kin", "oko", and "namako" are usually not the exact same as "a", "lukin", and "sin" respectively. You don't have to know the exact differences between them, but know that they are often not interchangeable. when in doubt, use "a", "lukin", and "sin".
