Etymology Edit

The word jume is derived from Japanese (Hepburn: yume), meaning "dream". It was coined in 2021 by jan Seli in the ma pona pi toki pona community, as a criticism to the word isipin, which she deemed "poorly thought out and not useful".[1][2]

Semantic space Edit

The semantic space of jume includes dreams, imagination, and hope. By extension, it may refer to fantasy and falsehood without a negative connotation, unlike the word powe.[3]

The words pilin ("to feel"), powe ("false"), and wile ("to want") have similar but, according to jan Seli, not identical semantic spaces to jume.
