Toki Pona CMYK palette comic

I drew some kule buddies! They remind me a little of Power Rangers. Kule Pimeja will only show up after the 3 kules gattai’d (let me know how you’d translate “gattai” a a a).

Since there aren’t exactly direct translations of cyan and magenta in toki pona, laso is a close enough grue and loje will have to make-do.

Found this thread as I was drawing this picture as cross reference. Pretty neat.

suno li lon sewi. mi lukin e sewi laso suli, e kasi suli mute, e kasi kule pi pona lukin lon noka mi. mi toki e ni: “ma kasi la tenpo suno ni li pona a! sina pilin sama anu seme, waso Kaka o?”

The sun is in the sky. I see the big blue sky, many tall plants, and beautiful colorful flowers at my feet. I say, "In this garden, it's a wonderful day! Do you feel the same, Kaka bird?"

1. "suno li lon sewi."

- "suno" (sun) is the subject

- "li" is the predicate marker

- "lon" is a preposition meaning "at" or "in"

- "sewi" means "sky" or "above"

- This simple sentence uses the basic structure: [subject] li [predicate]

2. "mi lukin e sewi laso suli, e kasi suli mute, e kasi kule pi pona lukin lon noka mi."

- "mi" (I) is the subject

- "lukin" (see/look) is the verb

- "e" marks the direct objects, which are listed in series

- "sewi laso suli" (big blue sky) uses adjectives after the noun

- "kasi suli mute" (many big plants/trees) shows multiple adjectives

- "kasi kule pi pona lukin" (colorful plants of good appearance) uses the "pi" particle to group the phrase "pona lukin" (good-looking) as a modifier for "kule" (colorful)

- "lon noka mi" (at my feet) is a prepositional phrase at the end

3. "mi toki e ni:"

- "mi" (I) is the subject

- "toki" (speak) is the verb

- "e ni" indicates that what follows is the content of the speech

4. "ma kasi la tenpo suno ni li pona a!"

- "ma kasi la" (in the plant place/garden) is a context-setting phrase using "la"

- "tenpo suno ni" (this sun time/day) is the subject

- "li" is the predicate marker

- "pona" (good) is the predicate

- "a" is an emphasis particle

5. "sina pilin sama anu seme, waso Kaka o?"

- "sina" (you) is the subject

- "pilin sama" (feel same) is the predicate

- "anu seme" is a question-forming phrase meaning "or what?"

- "waso Kaka o" is a vocative phrase addressing "waso Kaka" (bird Kaka)

a toki pona accent

I'd like to know what some people think of a toki pona accent. i think it should be something japanese-esc(or at least i think that's what sonja intended). the word formation of the two languages are similar(even the particles are similar). the full accent explanation is to long for post here, but i'm sure you've probably seen a similar accent laid out online. if you disagree please comment because i'm interested
