jaki is a core content word relating to dirty and disgusting things.

Etymology[edit | edit source]

The word jaki is derived from English yucky.[1]

Semantic space[edit | edit source]

Under construction This section needs work. If you know about this topic, you can help us by editing it. (See all)

The semantic space of jaki covers disease, disgust, and mess; anything liable to cause it; and the illness, or other often negative experiences, that result from it.

jaki includes things that are dirty, toxic, and infected. Various forms of waste are prototypical examples of jaki, from garbage to metabolic waste.

Bacteria and viruses themselves may be called jaki, especially those harmful to other creatures.

jaki also encompasses "unpleasant sensory experiences"; lipamanka claims that this is the core of the word's semantic space.[2] When analyzed this way, it is an antonym of suwi ("sweet, pleasant").

Another subjective facet of jaki is obscenity, as the resulting feeling of offense is often experienced as disgust.

jaki may refer to things that are not necessarily bad but still contribute to a messy feeling, such as drawn squiggles and messy lines, an unorganised room, or glitching effects on a visual medium that may be appealing in some contexts.

pu[edit | edit source]

In the "Official Toki Pona Dictionary" section, the book Toki Pona: The Language of Good defines jaki as:[3]

ADJECTIVE  disgusting, obscene, sickly, toxic, unclean, unsanitary

ku[edit | edit source]

For Toki Pona Dictionary, respondents in ma pona pi toki pona translated these English words as jaki:

dirty5, trash5, gross5, garbage5, mess5, disgusting4, junk4, bacteria4, nasty4, crap3, toxic3, waste3, infection3, disease2, shit2, virus2, pollution2, bullshit2, illness1

sitelen pona[edit | edit source]

Alternative versions of jaki shown in the Esperanto translation of pu

The sitelen pona glyph for jaki (󱤐) is a scribble, and it may be drawn in any way as long as it is recognizable. It tends to be drawn as a single stroke dense with overlaps, (mostly) curvy lines, and loops, tight corners, or zigzags. Several fonts have support for multiple alternative versions of the glyph, as well as a randomized selection.[4][5] The following is an example from linja lipamanka:

jaki1 jaki2 jaki3 jaki4 jaki5 jaki6 jaki7 jaki8 jaki9 jaki10 jaki11

However, most fonts lack the randomization feature, and thus, because of how influential they were, a few common versions have emerged. These include the pu style () and linja pona style (jaki).[a] An alternative glyph designed by jan Lentan is likely derived from a JK ligature.[6]

sitelen sitelen[edit | edit source]

The sitelen sitelen word glyph for jaki (jaki) depicts a bug and is a corrupted fusion of the sitelen sitelen syllable glyphs for "jaki" (JA KI).

Notes[edit | edit source]

  1. The linja pona style is colloquially known as "dickbutt jaki", due to a rough visual resemblance to the memetic character.[citation needed]
