Do you pronounce "tenpo" like "tempo" or it just seems to me? It's more natural and I don't know why cluster "mp" is not allowed in toki pona's writing...

[@mi8628]

It is usually pronounced 'tempo' but it is written 'tenpo'

[@maluviam]

I tried to say "tenpo" but the result became "tempo" anyway. I am so used to the word in forms as temporal/tempo/tiempo/tempore that I spoke that way automatically.

[@_skysick_]

The cluster "mp" is not allowed in toki pona to eliminate any ambiguity between mp and np, which means you can freely (allophonically) pronounce np as mp.

[@topazbutterfly1853]

It's "tenpo". In Toki Pona syllables end in vowels or "N". It's impossible to be "tempo" considering this rule.

[@wagonrestorant8032]

@@topazbutterfly1853 It's impossible to write it so. Not pronounce. This rule seems weird for me because the cluster "mp" is more natural. That's why I asked.

Is this song referring to any specific country?

Thank you for your comment! I tried different colors, but the multicolored pictures blurred the letters, no matter the color. I have now added the Toki Pona text beside the English translation, in the comments box.
