toki pona update, according to linku's new word usage survey, the usage of the toki pona word "pu" went down from 94% to 56%, which is insane. it went down two full categories. I think that's pretty interesting! Read the analysis for more info: github.com/lipu-linku/i...

Please share this around! so far I only have ~21 chapters with proofreaders and I need 50. (you can volunteer to do more than one!)
PROOFREADERS NEEDED for my Toki Pona translation of Genesis

Details: 
I will send you one chapter. Translate it into natural English (do not preserve any Toki Pona-isms, fully translate.) I will compare you rEnglish translation to the original Biblical Hebrew and make any necessary changes to my Toki Pona version. Contact me on discord at lipamanka or via email lipamanka at gmail dot com. 

In order to participate, you must be a proficient toki pona speaker. That means more than just one month of learning. You should not be overly familiar with the text. Knowledge of the stories is fine. Please let me know if you have questions!

Come watch me complete the first full toki pona translation of genesis live on youtube! I'm going live in 15.5 hours at this link: www.youtube.com/live/6pbH76B... I would love it if as many people as possible were there to cheer me past the finish line :) almost one full year of work.

here are the most common words in june 2025. I think I was wrong, it's just kinda what you'd expect. like duh most toki pona words aren't among the top most used, and if they're not, they're probably used as rarely as unpopular nimisin.

I feel like there is a huge bias towards the words found in phatic phrases. I could be wrong though

maybe it was a mistake to commit to putting a footnote describing the etymological meaning of every single name of a person in the torah. This is ONE CHAPTER and I'm already down to 50 footnotes. maybe I should make the actually important or interesting footnotes be letters instead of numbers? idk..

someone said this about me and I'd like to publicly agree with it. I know my shit, other people know their shit, there's no objective toki pona truth. I'm a good source, but other good sources do disagree with me, and that's explicitly GOOD.
Lipamanka my goat IS a proficient toki ponist and DOES know what it's talking about
However if you are ALSO a proficient toki ponist and know what you are talking about it doesn't mean you are wrong if you don't agree with it

google images review: 6/10 three of them were pretty hyperbolic around the edges yeah, but the other two are just fractals. not actually hyperbole.

from tokipona.org really makes you think
Lower-quality Toki Pona resources 🤦‍♀️
Because Toki Pona is freely accessible, anyone can create materials in or about the language. While there are many excellent learning resources and other resources created by the community, there are also quite a few easy-to-find materials that contain misunderstandings or significant errors. 

highlighted by lipamanka: In some cases, they may have been made quickly to earn money, highlighting by lipamanka ends,

but more often, the creators had good intentions. They might be less active in the broader community of fluent speakers who use Toki Pona in advanced conversations every day. Because the content creator hasn’t had a chance to receive regular feedback from very experienced and active speakers over a long enough period of time, they can easily overestimate their skill level or familiarity with Toki Pona compared to the people around them who don’t speak it at all.
