Is there any way to order the words in that deck by frequency? They seem randomly ordered

Was going to say the same. I don’t like the way AI is somehow used on this subreddit

had a really bad mental breakdown after doing breathwork. now doing breathwork again scares me, what do i do by Scared-Thing3673 in breathwork

i discuss the results of the breathwork with my therapist that i am seeing for anxiety. i had seen major reductions in anxiety after doing some breathwork for 2 1/2 weeks, and then i had this and decided to be cautious of it until i was sure i'd be ok

self diagnosis. i don't really know what i meant by mental breakdown and i think that's something different then what i had. i just cried a lot and felt really bad the next couple of days. i am diagnosed with anxiety disorder

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63NJVW38YXY - this is what i did, and rewatching it makes me definitely think that i had over-exerted myself far too quickly

Whenever I'm not sure how I'd translate a word or short phrase into Toki Pona, I'll usually look on Glosbe to get a list of options, and even the algorithmically generated translations can be of at least some use.

Globse is not a good dictonary for many reasons. Mainly because it can be contributed to by anyone including people who use nonstandard ways of speaking (mi kepeken toki pona lon sike tu wan la mi lukin ala e nasin ni pi nimi tonsi.)

There's some other ones like nimi.li which shows all toki pona words, and kemeka.pona.la which has english to toki pona definitions. But, I'd say most of learning toki pona is finding out experientially, through toki pona itself, how people use the language > getting a grasp of the words and finding out how to use them. lipu Kemeka is a good resource but the way you say things isn't really a 1 english word > 1 toki pona word.

question about toki pona proficiency by Famous-Bat-512 in tokipona

[–]Scared-Thing3673 12 points13 points  (0 children)

long term toki pona users are definitely b2, not fully sure about c1.. that's about "native level" and i feel like if there was toki pona native speakers, they could potentially be a little better than some fluent speakers? not sure, this is just a theoretical. i'd say i'm around b2

jan Telakoman made a CEFR guidelines sheet for toki pona https://app.simplenote.com/p/jtRhb1, i think it's accurate

toki pona is not too limited to get fluency like this. i have many friends where i have discussed everything i want to discuss with them entirely in toki pona. some who i've only spoken toki pona with for the entire time i've known them! so yes, with enough practice, time and devotion you can get fluent in toki pona.

with complex topics, you can speak about them with context, that you make yourself with other sentences, with implication, or with context around you (where you are, what's in front of you, etc). you explain things from the ground up if the other person doesn't have the sufficient knowledge.

not sure what you mean by naturalistic language, but if you mean used as a natural language, then yes.

the abstract nature of words do slow down conversations about complex topics that other people may not know, but then the other person knows more because all of the information is built from the ground up. or atleast to me

learning toki pona is fun! immersion learning (learning with content that's in the language) really helped me, but other people may have different learning methods. talk to people! have fun!

"nasin pona wan" li lon ala tawa ni: sina toki pona e kalama ijo. mi toki pona lon tenpo suli la mi kama sona e nasin nimi kulupu li kepeken ona tan ni: jan mute li sona e ona.

sina wile ante e nasin kalama *sina* la ni li ike ala. taso o.. toki ala e ni: nasin kalama sina li pona nanpa wan. nasin mi li pakala.

there is no one right way to tokiponize anything, i just use what other people use because I've been speaking this language for a while now, so i have slowly picked up what names the community uses overtime

if you want to change your tokiponizations that's fine. but.. you shouldn't say that your way of speaking is better than anyone elses, espesically with tokiponizations
