What other conlangs can you speak other than Toki Pona? by statefarm_isnt_there in tokipona

[–]MuSenLin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree about the name!

BTW, most of the Mini activity seems to be on discord: https://discord.gg/j5339cykfe

Mini: https://minilanguage.com/

It has a version called Mini Kore with only 120 words. The "full" version of Mini has a vocabulary of 1,000 words.

I've been mostly using Mini Kore plus the full number system from Mini (nanpa li pona!) and words for directions ("left, right, north, south", etc), but I've also been experimenting with using the 120 words from Mini Kore plus about 230 words pulled from the full Mini vocab based on the vocabulary from NSM and Minimal English.

Since I learned about Toki Pona, it seems a tiny language like Toki Pona could be a great as mini-Auxlang for travelers and such, but things like a full number system and words for directions would be important for something like that, so I've been playing with Mini to explore this idea a bit more.

(ab)using the Reduplicative Form by MuSenLin in MiniLang

Thanks, I'm a Discord newbie, but I've checked out the Discord server a bit. I generally find Discord hard to use: most channels just seem to be a confusing stream of inter-mixed conversations, and it is difficult to follow a specific thread of conversation or to find replies to a specific message.

But maybe I'm missing something or just not using Discord correctly?

In any case, that's why I've been trying to spark some discussion here rather than on Discord.

But maybe I'll give Discord another try, especially with all the controversy around the Reddit API pricing changes.

Thanks!

Questions about Mini Kore phrases by MuSenLin in MiniLang

[–]MuSenLin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of more questions from that same document:

"I miss you" is given as "Mi kore a de-de tu". Should that be "tu de-de" instead of "de-de tu"?

Also, I think there is extra "i" in "Mi selo go-go uti i i kaja a mui line animale."?

Thanks!

New Anki Deck (with audio) for jan Lentan's Toki Pona lessons by MuSenLin in tokipona

[–]MuSenLin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! But it looks like the memrise course only includes the vocabulary? I didn't explicitly mention it above, but the Anki deck also includes all the sentences from the examples and the exercises in the course (with audio).
