'''{{tp|isipin epiku}}''' is a humorous [[style of Toki Pona]] in which no {{tp|[[pu]]}} words may be used. The term was coined in 2022 by {{tok|jan Kita}}.<ref>{{cite Discord|username=.hecko|server={{tp|ma pona pi toki pona}}|channel={{tok|sona-kulupu}}|thread={{tok|toki-pi-sona-kulupu}}|url=https://discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/912286596517220363/1025495025091620986|quote={{tok|toki pona}}? i only speak {{tok|isipin epiku}}|author={{tok|jan Kita}}|access-date=2024-01-16}}</ref> The name comes from a replacement of the words in "{{tp|toki pona}}" with their closest non-{{tp|pu}} equivalents, {{tp|[[isipin]]}} (here "thought") and {{tp|[[epiku]]}} ("epic").
==Usage==
Some words can be easily replaced with direct synonyms, e.g. {{tp|[[ona]]}} with its predecessor {{tp|[[iki]]}} or {{tp|[[tenpo]]}} with the abbreviation {{tp|[[ten]]}}. Particles are harder to replace, which makes constructing sentences difficult. {{tp|[[li]]}} can be swapped out for the {{tp|[[toki ma]]}} word {{tp|le}}<ref>{{cite Discord|username=.hecko|server={{tp|ma pona pi toki pona}}|channel={{tok|sona-musi}}|url=https://discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/375591429608570881/1031382426590654514|quote=anyway i think {{tok|toki ma}} either has or used to have <code>{{tok|le}}</code> for (im)perfect sentences / so we can yoink that|author={{tok|jan Kita}}|access-date=2024-01-16}}</ref>, the question particle {{tp|[[su]]}}<ref>{{cite Discord|username=.hecko|server={{tp|ma pona pi toki pona}}|channel={{tok|toki-pona-kin}}|url=https://discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/875761526642978897/1057341388498407514|quote=,,realization // <code>{{tp|toki li pona}}</code> → <code>{{tp|isipin su epiku · je}}</code>|author={{tok|jan Kita}}|access-date=2024-01-16}}</ref>, the relative clause marker {{tp|[[ki]]}}, or obviated with the {{tp|[[kisiwi]]}} pronoun system. {{tp|[[la]]}} can be replaced cleanly with {{tp|[[alu]]}}, as can prepositions and {{tp|[[e]]}} in some cases.<ref>{{cite Discord|username=notwithouttext|server={{tp|ma pona pi toki pona}}|channel={{tok|toki-suli}}|thread={{tok|o toki e sina}}|url=https://discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/1055371916464107561/1055510378886467624|author={{tok|nimi "lon ala weka nimi"}}|access-date=2024-01-16}}▼
