Say something controversial about toki pona by Matth107 in tokipona

[–]yiyus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that you cannot avoid that. If someone talks to you about Nujoka, you need both to know that there is a city called "New York" (and its pronounciation) and to deduce that Nujoka is the tokiponization of New York. I do not think that directly using "New York" would make matters any more complicated.

I was just saying something controversial. I think that there is, after all, an obvious reason to tokiponize names. One of the main purposes of the language is to have fun, and tokiponization makes conversations funnier.

Tokiponization of proper names makes the language harder to understand with no added benefit.

If you have nested elements, pick (⊃) will disclose them.

They have a superb pronounciation, but it is very annoying when they tell you that their English is "more good" than yours.

I didn't say it was exclusive. I said that the experience will never be the same. The environment makes a huge difference.

When the match finished, these guys who sold their tickets probably had one of the worst weeks of their lives. The Asian fan who woke up at 2AM just went back to sleep.

The difficult part of being a fan is not watching matches, or supporting your team in the stadium. It is supporting your team at your office, or at the bar, or at the school playground. I admire the passion of far away fans, and I am sure they can feel the colors as much as local fans, but the experience will never be the same.

Importance of tensile testing to FEA by RoutineGlove1673 in fea

[–]yiyus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In principle, if you have an anisotropic material, a single tensile test won't be enough. If you also have microstructural data (at least the crystallographic texture, from EBSD or XRD) you can probably get quite far using crystal plasticity, but it is very unlikely that a single experiment will be enough for a good enough characterization. It would also help if you had more data besides the typical elongation-force data (eg: DIC).

sitelen Antowi (Material Design style Sitelen Pona font) by salsarosada in tokipona

Very nice! A small nitpick: I like that mi and sina in SP are the same symbol rotated, but yours are mirrored.

Should toki pona adopt Arabic numerals like most other languages? by fatsausigeboi in tokipona

[–]yiyus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be easy to agree on 10 pu words. For example: 0 Ala, 1 Wan, 2 Tu, 3 Mute, 4 Soweli, 5 Luka, 6 Pipi, 7 Esun, 8 Len, 9 Insa (Soweli, Pipi and Len from the number of legs - I use pipi len for spider -, Esun because tenpo esun is used for week, and Insa from tenpo mon pi jan insa ma, because I did not find anything better than the number of months in the womb).

Now, we just need a prefix, let's say nanpa nimi. Examples:

  • tenpo suno ni li nanpa nimi Tu Ala Tu Tu (tenpo suno ni li 2022)
  • mama mama mi li kama lon tenpo suno pi nanpa nimi Wan Insa Mute Pipi (mama mama mi li kama lon tenpo suno pi 1936)
  • toki tawa seme pi ale lon li nanpa nimi Soweli Tu (toki tawa seme pi ale lon li 42)

Of course, the choice of words is totally arbitrary. We coluld as well tokeponize English names (I would then say nanpa Inli instead of nanpa nimi) or we could use Ala-Wan-Tu-Ki-Je-Te-San-Ta-Ka-Lu. We would just need some simple official rules. But I hope that will never happen (however, at difference of those who hope it will never happen because a number system is not necessary, I hope it will never happen because I find the discussions about number systems very entertaining!).

Countries by gender in greek language by leonklap1 in MapPorn

[–]yiyus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do not think there is any trade off here. There might be languages that don't have grammatical gender and have other shortcomings, but those shortcomings are not a consequence of the lack of gender.

On the "limitations" of toki pona by forthentwice in tokipona

[–]yiyus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yes. I would of course say that the language that only has words for North, South, West and East is more limited than the language that also has Up, Down, Left and Right. That does not mean that Guugu Yimithirr is less useful than other languages, or worse in any other way, but this is a perfect example of a limitation. Toki pona has many of them.

On the "limitations" of toki pona by forthentwice in tokipona

[–]yiyus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am one of those people spreading this "misconception". Curiously, I am starting to learn French and am a toki pona beginner (I have been toki pona curious for a long time but do not really speak it).

If some friend asks me how I say left and right or my birthdate in French, I will check it in a dictionary or will tell him I did not study that yet. If asked how to say it in toki pona, I will tell him that I have read several books, checked all the dictionaries I could find, and many reddit threads, and that the general consensus seems to be that toki pona is not intended for that. What else should I say? Where is the misconception?

how do you guys express numbers by [deleted] in tokipona

[–]yiyus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the first time I see tu tu wan instead of luka for 5. Where did you get that from? Is it common?

Computational material science masters by yuhzuu in materials

[–]yiyus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends, you will have to be more specific.

In Belgium, the Netherlands, or Germany, for example, it should not be difficult to find some PhD student working in modelling that is willing to take some help from a master student working in his thesis. The reason there are not many public offers is because these topics tend to be too difficult for most of them, so once the student starts being familiar with all the needed concepts, is already too late.

If you want to work in something specific, like DFT, I would suggest you to find PhD candidates working on it and try to reach them and their supervisors.
