mi ken ala toki pona e ijo la mi sona ala e ijo: Difference between revisions

 

The design of Toki Pona encourages you to say what you mean. It can show you when you don't understand something as well as you thought. Maybe you never had to think deeply about that word or idea before. When this happens, you have the chance to learn more and understand the world a bit better!

 

If you have trouble expressing a concept in Toki Pona, try researching it and figuring out how to describe it in [[Multiple sentences|multiple simple sentences]]. Searching for a [[Lexicalization|set-in-stone "translation"]] won't help. Other people probably won't recognize it, and will need you to build more [[context]] or explain the idea in depth. You get to emphasize which of the idea's details are important in the conversation, and important to you.
