Same as pu, except &#x22quot;luka,<span>"</span>&quot; <span>"</span>&quot;mute<span>"</span>&quot; and &#x22quot;ale&#x22quot; are only used to refer to numbers when they are elements of an addition, never on their own.

<p>notes:</p>
* Pu Advanced is the defacto standard; however, using &quot;mute&quot; and &quot;ale&quot; as numbers can be quite confusing. &quot;luka&quot; as a number word is much less likely to be ambiguous and is pretty widely accepted as meaning 5, even outside of pu advanced. Using &quot;sijelo&quot; for 20 extends the metaphor; your body has 2 hands and 2 feet, for a total of 20 digits (fingers + toes). Sijelo is also unlikely to be as confusing as &quot;mute&quot; and &quot;ale&quot; in context.

=== [vigesimal] [humorous] [pu words] &#x22quot;jan tan telo<span />"&quot;, tan kulupu Eki ===
 
<p />(2020-04-06, revised 2021-07-21)<br />
inspired by the north england sheep-counting rhyme <span />"&quot;[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yan_tan_tethera Yan Tan Tethera]<span />"&quot;. the only nimi sin it uses is that you need to have a <b />'''stick''' and a <b />'''pointy rock''' handy, or perhaps a ready supply of pebbles and a garment with a pocket
 
<p />while counting your sheep (or knitting stitches) you simply recite this 20 word semi-nonsensical poem. whenever you get to <span />"&quot;ma&#x22quot; you just score a stick with a sharp rock and start over. then each literal score represents a numerical score, a group of 20. its so easy! be sure to count heads frequently and not overgraze the commons!

<p>I like kijetesantakalu, but I find the idea of repetition and stress marking to be nasa mute. This is my solution, kijetesantakalu epiku or shorter nanpa ki.</p>
 
==== How it works? ====
Line 434:
Just like kijetesantakalu, the word is divided into segments representing numbers in seximal:
 
<blockquote />
<p />ki-je(5)-te(4)-san(3)-ka(2)-ta(1)-lu(0)
</blockquote>
As you can see, the syllable ki is ommited and plays no role in defining a number. Let's give it one!
 
In nanpa ki, ki- is used as the beginning of a number (think of it as 0x in base hex). The syllables after ki- are the numerals of the number. Simple, isn't?

</blockquote>
==== Arithmetic ====
 
<p>Equations are structured like basic sentences.</p>
 
<p>The use of <code >sama</code>sama is optional. All examples are in base-6.</p>
 
<p><b>'''Addition:</b>''' Use <code>en</code> between addends.</p>
 
<p>Examples:</p>
 
<blockquote>
<p>1 + 1 = 2 – wan en wan li (sama) tu.<br />
3 + 3 = 10 – san en san li (sama) kulu.<br />
5.3 + 3.3 = 13 – luka lili san en san lili san li wan san.<br />
10 + -3 = 3 – kulu en san weka li san.<br />
1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4 – wan lon po en tu lon po li san lon po.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><b />'''Subtraction:''' Separate the minuend from the subtrahend with <code>weka</code> (alternative to using the addition structure with negatives).</p>
 
Examples:
Line 572:
2 - 1 = 1 – tu weka wan li wan.<br />
10 - 3 = 3 – kulu weka san li san.<br />
13 - 3.3 = 5.3 – wan san weka san lili san li luka lili san.<br />
3 - -3 = 10 – san weka san weka li kulu.<br />
2 - 3 = -1 – tu weka san li wan weka.
</blockquote>
<b />'''Multiplication:''' Use <code >mute</code>mute between factors.
 
<p>Examples:</p>
 
<blockquote>
3 * 2 = 10 – san mute tu li kulu.<br />
5 * -2 = -14 – luka mute tu weka li wan po weka.
</blockquote>
<b>'''Division:</b>''' Separate the dividend from the divisor with <code>kipisi</code> (alternative to using rational <code>lon</code>).
 
<p>Examples:</p>
 
<blockquote>
<p>10 ÷ 2 = 3 – kulu kipisi tu li san.<br />
-14 ÷ 5 = -2 – wan po weka kipisi luka li tu weka.</p>
</blockquote>
<p /><b />'''Exponentiation:''' Separate the base from the exponent with <code >sewi</code>sewi.
 
<p />Examples:
 
<blockquote>
2<sup>3</sup> = 12 – tu sewi san li wan tu.<br />
3<sup>2</sup> = 13 – san sewi tu li wan san.<br />
10<sup />2</sup> = 100 – kulu sewi tu li kulu kulu.<br />
5<sup />0</sup> = 1 – luka sewi ala li wan.<br />
4.3 * 10<sup>4</sup> = 43 000 – po lili san mute kulu sewi po li po san kulu kulu kulu.
</blockquote>
<b>'''Root extraction:</b>''' Separate the radicand from the index with <code>noka</code>.
 
<p>Examples:</p>
 
<blockquote>
<p />cbrt(12) = 2 – wan tu noka san li tu.<br />
sqrt(13) = 3 – wan san noka tu li san.<br />
sqrt(100) = 10 – kulu kulu noka tu li kulu.<br />
4thrt(213) = 3 – tu wan san noka po li san.
</blockquote>
<p>'''Logarithms:''' To express a logarithm in an equation, use the following structure:</p>
 
<blockquote>
sewi tan [argument] pi anpa [base] li (sama) [exponent].
</blockquote>
<p />Examples:
 
<blockquote>
log<sub>2</sub>(12) = 3 – sewi tan wan tu pi anpa tu li san.<br />
log<sub>3</sub>(13) = 2 – sewi tan wan san pi anpa san li tu.<br />
log<sub>10</sub>(100) = 2 – sewi tan kulu kulu pi anpa kulu li tu.
</blockquote>
<p /><b>'''Order of operations:</b>''' Some operations may share arguments. To reduce ambiguity, evaluate operations in the following order:
 
<ol# /><li>Rationals</li>
<li# />Logarithms
<li># Exponentiation / root extraction (left to right)</li>
<li# />Multiplication / division (left to right)
<li># Addition / subtraction (left to right)</li>
 
To alter the order of operations, use <code>ni</code> in place of an argument. If <code>ni</code> occupies the first argument of an operation, then the value of the previous operation becomes the first argument. If <code>ni</code> occupies the second argument of an operation, then the value of the following operation becomes the second argument. Follow <code>ni</code> with <code>ale / ali</code> to make the value of all previous / following operations the argument in an operation.
 
<p />Examples:
 
<blockquote />
<p />13 + (2 * 2) = 21 – wan san en tu mute tu li tu wan.<br />
(13 + 2) * 2 = 34 – wan san en tu, ni mute tu li san po.<br />
(30 ÷ 3) - 1 = 5 – san kulu kipisi san weka wan li luka.<br />
30 ÷ (3 - 1) = 13 – san kulu kipisi ni: san weka wan, li wan san.<br />
1/4 + 3 – wan lon po en san<br />
1/(4 + 3) – wan lon ni: po en san
</blockquote>
 
==== Comparisons ====
 
<p>Use these structures to compare the values of real numbers:</p>
 
<blockquote>
<p>x <span />>&gt; y – y la x li mute.<br />
x <span />>&gt;= y – y la x li mute anu sama.<br />
x = y – y la x li sama.<br />
x &#x3Clt; y – y la x li lili.<br />
x &#x3Clt;= y – y la x li lili anu sama.</p>
</blockquote>
Examples:
 
<blockquote>
3 &#x3Clt; 4 – po la san li lili.<br />
1/3 <span>></span>&gt; 1/4 – wan lon po la wan lon san li mute.<br />
1/2 = 3/10 – san lon kulu la wan lon tu li sama. / won lon tu li (sama) san lon kulu.<br />
x <span>></span>&gt;= 14 – wan po la seme li mute anu sama?
</blockquote>
==== Complex Numbers ====
 
<p>To indicate an imaginary value, follow the number with <code>poka</code>. To specify a real value (if necessary), follow the number with <code>nasin</code>. In the standard form of a complex number, the real part should precede the imaginary part. Any part of a complex number with a value of zero should be omitted.</p>
 
Examples:
 
<blockquote />
<p />i – (wan) poka<br />
2i – tu poka<br />
3 + 5i – san (nasin) en luka poka<br />
2 - 3i – tu (nasin) en san weka poka / tu (nasin) weka san poka
</blockquote>
 
notes:
 
<li>* Originally conceived for a fictional society that communicates solely through toki pona</li>
* Yeah, it’s a lot, but compared to the entire field of mathematics, this numeral / mathematical system is as limited as toki pona compared to any natural language, if not more so.
* Originally used <code />ku</code> instead of <code>kulu</code> before the release of Toki Pona Dictionary, known as ku.

Line 1,591 ⟶ 1,590:
This is a mixed radix multiplicative numbering system for toki pona made by me, jan Lomu (Rome#3129). I've made a google doc of it, that is essentially the below: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wESh0MnyUlVXQj8TiuxdW5PT68WBJgMe2bAYB-VJPJQ/edit?usp=sharing gdoc]
 
The crux of this system is that, when a lesser numeral precedes a greater numeral, or if two of the same numeral concatenate, they are multiplied. If the inverse occurs, they are simply added. This employs order of operations, multiplication is first, so “ali tu luka” is not 100 + 2 + 5, rather 100 + (2 * 5). This system is a mixed radix, so the different positions, rather than being powers of one base, are actually three distinct numbers: 5, 20, and 100. Any number in this system could potentially be represented in the style of [ale : mute<span> </span> : luka : wan].
 
<p />It utilizes two non-pu words, san (three), and po (four). This is included for the sake of brevity, however these can certainly be replaced with tuwan and tutu for recognizability.

* uses purely pu words and a (mostly) familiar additive system with <code>sin</code> representing a clear purpose
* adaptable to any base even though decimal is used for the examples
<li* />allows for representation of extremely large numbers in a concise format like <code>nanpa luka lon mute wan sin</code> = 5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
 
<p />'''cons'''
 
<ul* /><li>specific numbers are <i />''extremely verbose''. this may be a feature and not a bug to some</li>
<li>* representation of numbers of this size are very likely not necessary for a language like toki pona</li>
<li* />potentially still ambiguous? including <code>nanpa</code> before all numbers helps but the end of the number is still weird.
<li>* it's yet another number system with specific quirks</li>

<ul* /><li>no 'ala' in the middle of numbers. 'ala' means none, always.</li>
<li>* fits existing vocab</li>
<li* />compressible by stacking digits in sitelen pona
 
'''cons:'''
 
* not backwards compatible
* no way to talk about orders of magnitude, stuck at maximum precision since digits (quigits?) are just listed in order

(place section)place number(li)digit(repeat)<br />
''e.g. 525,600 is written as kile sepe li luka. kile ten li tu. kile wan li luka. sepe li si.''
 
To make a number negative add the phrase &#x22quot;pini nun la<span />"&quot; to the beginning of the number.<br />
''e.g. -525,600 is written as pini nun la kili sepe li luka. kili ten li tu. kili wan li luka. sepe li si''
 
<p />If a digit is repeated a multitude of times you can write that it repeats from the higher place number to the smaller place number using tawa.<br />
<i />''(Larger Place Number-<span />"&quot;tawa<span />"&quot;-Smaller Place Number-<span />"&quot;li<span />"&quot;-Digit)''<br />
<i />''e.g. 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 is written <span />"&quot;tensile tawa wan li nin<span />"&quot;''<br />
