In toki pona, every phrase has to rely on implied or situational meaning, just because of how restricted the lexicon is. The space for double meanings and other word play should be quite large, and the barrier to entry low. Perfect.

[@janNowa]

I remember an outline for a style of poem in toki pona where you repeat sentences that contain the same content words but have their meanings change significantly based on their order and where the grammatical particles are. It was pretty cool but I doubt I could find it again

[@tissuepaper9962]

@@janNowa it's like that "Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo." sentence but it's the whole language.

imo toki pona should not be a first language, you do need the rigor and specificity from english but if you don’t need to describe something specific toki pona works great

[@komarunaegi7460]

This is amazing! I love how much thought was put into this. I haven’t heard of Toki Pona until literally today, and found this cover in the process! The vocalist did a really good job, too! It really goes to show how fluid translation can be across multiple languages-the English, Japanese, Spanish, and even this version all word their lyrics differently yet still convey the same general themes and subject matter of the song, and do so well, in ways that sound natural and flow well with the meter. It sucks that the Internet normally gets angry or toxic whenever anything translation or localization-related is brought up, you know? There’s this mentality that if something isn’t worded exactly the way it is in Japanese, or the original language, it’s automatically bad or wrong or was a mistake of some kind, but that’s not always the case-and a lot of the time it’s just how translation of any kind works. And that’s not even taking into account localization at all. Also, agreed. Penny is certified best girl.
