it works!!! I can now use toki pona to write in nodecore :D

how would you write "nodecore" in toki pona? here I've written "musi pi leko insa" which is literally "inside-blocks game" I think?

@nycki where does one learn this conlang??

@RedtailWorks there's a really good lesson plan here: https://mun.la/sona/

but to be honest, most of what I know comes from reading jan Misali's translation notes on videos like this: https://youtu.be/fWHZz7ZCXqw

mun! - Learn Toki Pona!

Learn Toki Pona, because it's fun and free!

mun!
@nycki I might get into this. I never finished my Esperanto lessons but this seems simpler

@RedtailWorks the best part about toki pona is that its so small! there's about 100,000 words in english and only about 100 words in toki pona.

this does have a lot of limitations, making it less practical, but at the same time more fun. it's very similar to the simple english challenge posed by xkcd, "using only the ten hundred words people use the most often", and running into situations where you can't say "cabin" so you substitute a phrase like "people box".

@nycki You made me search "What the heck is Toki Pona" ... but .. after reading about it .. "doesn't look any simpler" to me 😐 Artistic yes .. "someone reinvented Mayan script" but it doesn't really look simpler to learn ..

@gilesgoat that's "sitelen sitelen" most likely, the "picture shapes" writing system. I'm using "sitelen pona", the "easy shapes" writing system. it's easier to learn, in my opinion :3

regardless, when people say toki pona is "simple" they typically mean learning the *dictionary* is simple. the reason each word can get away with having its own symbol is because there are *less than 200 words, total.* For comparison, english has about 100,000 words.
