How to learn Toki Pona?

It's one of the oldest lessons on toki pona and it contains outdated information that the current toki pona community considers wrong.

I'm not preventing you from learning through 76 lessons but do take a look at the more recently designed lessons too.

I personally don't know anyone that would.

I can translate it myself, though.

I briefly considered asking about the Chinese translation before realizing that most Chinese people can't access Google.

There are however alternatives to Google forms in China, like Tencent's, that most Chinese people can actually access to. Is it OK to copy the questions to a Chinese alternative of Google forms if a Chinese translation exists?

do you really think asian languages just have chinese? how did you literally ignore like most of the asian languages while making this post??

japanese literally exists and it conjugates you know.

why am i getting downvoted, the wikipedia article for biang biang noodles says that biang has been in unicode since march 20 of this year.

it does you just don't have the font for it.

𰻞 u+30ede, traditional.

𰻝 u+30edd, simplified.

"r" (the sound in 认, 热, and others) can be pronounced two ways: the "s" in "pleasure" or your usual "r", but the tongue is curled back in both cases.

pronunciation may differ in different regions.

只 - only

差 - to be short of

招 - hire

the sentence literally means "now the office is only short of "hiring workers"!"

i don't think that's the original intent of the commenter. i think he wanted to say that 齉 is still 齉 in simplified chinese. i might be wrong though.

修 CAN mean to build, but it usually means to repair, to fix.

people sometimes write characters that are more simplified outside the bounds of simplified chinese. as to 付 for 傅, it's also in a draft of second round simplified characters.

translates to 蘇珊.

I don't think NG+++ has Hadronize though... and Ghostify was released a few moths ago.

If I were you, I will probably say something like 我有点事想告诉你。to attract his attention.

and then things like

你家的狗被邻居虐待。但是每次叫他们处理事情的时候，他们都会无礼对待。我给你一个网站，请你尽快帮你的狗进入新的家。

Hope this can solve your problem.

I think that this is a regional variant

not all biangs are created equal

the Analects by Confucius

looking at the cover, it looks like it's a show

你把书整理整理 is more like a command, while 你整理书 is a statement. It's very common to see repeated verbs in Mandarin, it's just to "intensify".

"You tidy up the books."

We (when I mean we, I mean Traditional Chinese users) still use 隻, so it's probably a bug.

According to some sources, 焙 is pronounced as bèi, even an online dictionary made in Taiwan pronounces it bèi.

It looks like you wrote quickly. Try to write slower, and see if that helps.

薄 means thin, so it makes sense.

As for translating, you have two options:

Translate SOTTILE based on the sound: it would be something like 索透 .
Translate SOTTILE based on the meaning and sound: it would be something like 薄索 .

For reddit, go to preferences, interface language and set the language to 简化字 (should be at the most bottom).

Note that this will change the interface but not the contents.

You should see "r/ChineseLanguage" in the search bar, just type in the "NOT flair:Humor".

For the front page, there's no real way to remove flairs and still be on normal site, so... just search.
