Learn Toki Pona: Compound Words and much more on Memrise

Here's a brief course on useful combinations of the classic Toki Pona words; some are canon, and some are my own that work in theory. If you have any to add, do please message me! jan li ken kepeken e kulupu nimi lon toki pona. mi pana e sona pi kulupu nimi ni tawa sina. sina sona e kulupu nimi ante la, o pana e ona tawa mi! nimi suli ante.

Spices in standard Toki Pona

if you don't use namako for spices, there is still a way of expressing it in Toki Pona, namely: kasi wawa

"ilo sona" could be called a transparant compound, but I would argue that "tenpo sike" and "jan sama" aren't transparant ...

"tenpo sike" is short for "tenpo ni : ma sike e suno"
"jan sama" is short for "jan pi mama sama"

If my analysis is right.

Esperanto: some observations of a speaker-linguist

History and Philosophy of the Language Sciences

[...]
In addition to making Toki Pona simple to learn, the language’s minimalist approach is also designed to change how its speakers think. The paucity of terms provokes a kind of creative circumlocution that requires careful attention to detail. An avoidance of set phrases keeps the process fluid. The result, according to Lang, is to immerse the speaker in the moment, in a state reminiscent of what Zen Buddhists call mindfulness.

The world's smallest language has only 100 words — and you can say almost anything - Nova Languages

In Chinese, the word computer translates directly as electric brain. In Icelandic, a compass is a direction-shower, and a microscope a small-watcher. In Lakota, horse is literally dog of wonder. These neologisms demonstrate the cumulative quality of language, in which we use the known to describe the unknown. “It is by metaphor that language grows,” …

Toki Pona and Minimal Vocabulary

Someone who has never studied Mandarin before and picks up a book on beginning to write the language could be forgiven for thinking all words are one syllable and represented by one character. But take the word for train, "huoche." It means "fire-car". Fine, you say, it's a nice little word that does the job. But here's the thing: If you look at someone and say "hen duo ren de che" - many-people-car - instead, people aren't going to nod in recognition. They're going to stare at you a little wide-eyed, then assume you're a simpleton who hasn't yet learned the word - and it's one word, thank you - huoche. That is, huo, che and huoche are three distinct words, just as surely as are rail, way and railway.

In Toki Pona, we are told, there is no word for friend. Rather, you say "jan pona" - good person. But say you want to mention your friend's house. The word for house is "tomo." To say "my house," you say "tomo mi." But to say "friend's house," it's "tomo pi jan pona" - with the "pi" to show that the "jan pona" goes together. Otherwise, someone might decide, eg, that "tomo jan" means people house, decide that can stand for hotel, and then mistakenly think that "tomo jan pona" means "good people house" or "nice hotel." These examples are, of course, conjecture. Being new to Toki Pona, I'm unaware of a compound, "tomo jan," but one might exist. The point is that once these compounds start to standardize, we find that Toki Pona may have 118 words on its own terms, but it's got a lot more lexical items. And once people start automatically putting things together, the game's up on simplicity because all new speakers then have to learn that of course "jan pona" means "friend" and not just, eg, nice person.
