First Look at the New Toki Pona Book 

Oats you always pass the vibe check.

jan Sonja referencing "show me the bibliography" is not something i realised i needed in my life

thank u for dealing with my even more mistakes i made in this video haha,, i'm still on the learning journey and it's all very fun :)

4:55 giving sonjalang her own chair is such a cute detail

Fun Fact: In Minecraft, if you go to options, and then language, toki pona is actually one of the languages!

I hope some time in the future that the Egyptian bird glyph would be added to toki pona

lipu su li lon a! IAs you highlight, most conlangs are used to talk about the conlang itself, and it is awesome that su ain't like that and brings more toki pona content to the world. It's fantastic that there's more and more stories in toki pona and content which doesn't just focus on the mechanics of the language itself (selfish plug: I myself run a toki pona VLog here). I 100% agree that The Wizard of Oz is an absolutely perfect story to kick start a book series. So, everyone, go and get your copy of the book! o su!

Can't wait for more toki pona videos! It's so nice to have a youtuber in the community who actually does the research and participates, but also isn't just a learning resource, like you were saying

Today is day 10 of my Toki Pona journey. Two days ago, I received my copies of pu and ku from Amazon. Your 1st video was amazingly helpful. My attempts at Journaling mirror yours. Journaling with the glyphs really struck a cord with me! I have already purchased my journal. Since 2nd grade, I have been a fan of the Oz books. L. Frank Baum wrote 14 before he passed. Ruth Plumly Thompson wrote an additional 14 before she passed. And I have read all of them! So when you said that su is The Wizard of Oz written in glyphs, you just sent my motivation through the roof! Thank you so very much for both of your videos!!!

SUPER EXCITED for this new book!

I feel like a neat book idea that could utilize toki pona for its narrative would be for a pseudo dairy, where the narrator is intentionally narrating their life in toki pona as a means of privacy, or in a story where two characters who are super close use the language for personal communication. Idk, the use of such an obscure language makes me think of themes regarding privacy, deep bonds, and opening up to new people.

"tawa pona" is a response to "mi tawa" and not standalone "Goodbye", but only if the other says "mi tawa" (I am going) you say "tawa pona" (go good).

One of the best ways to learn a language is to practice by consuming media! More toki pona books would be a great way to help and expand the community!

1:04 I know it’s jokes but the little HAI jab is kinda funny

OH I just realized you’re ðe “I fixed ðe Alphabet” guy, also stellar video

To be honest the language sounds like newspeak form 1984 but not used to suppress people speech and thoughts

6:30 “Like they say, ‘show me the bibliography’” The scream I scrame.

in the past, ku suli has shaped what words have gotten more or less prevalent based on what was categorized as "ku suli", establishing the 137 core words, so mi la, there's 139 core words in toki pona now! (+ su and majuna) as nimi su

Because of this video i'm gonna start to learn toki pona this week

sina wile pali e toki pona tu tenpo ni Also I am SO EXCITED for su! Now I'm wondering what all the other titles will be used for... (ju, lu, nu, u) I hope you have a fun time reading the book Oats!

the biggest thing i got out of this is that jan Sonja knows about anthony mccarthy's comment thread edit: oh my bazinga she likes majuna

Under 8352 years gang👇

Oats always passes the vibe check of my heart ❤

I just watched the first Toki Pona video :D I'm sure this vid is also going to be super great and well made, like all of your vids :)

I started learning toki pona about ten days ago. Very satisfying. And it's changing the way I think about English.

I had heard about Toki Pona a really long time ago and since then I were interested in it. But I never really tried to learn it and I think that after watching your videos I will

(Bc en is not and, you can't use it to link concepts - "su ni en tenpo kama la su ante" would be interpreted as "with regards to this su and the coming time, different su", which also works!) Thank you for this one too :D yayyyyyy su yippee friends mentioned Yayyy

REALEST VID!! 0:45 TRUEST WORDS!!! i literally screamed multiple times during this video out of excitement

So, the book titles, pu ku su...that makes up tokiponafication of the word 'books', right? I remember reading rice boy when it was first coming out, so cool that he's illustrating this too! mi wili lukin e su!

I’m subscribing in the hope of future Toki Pona:)

Omg, i love your videos

i remember 1 or 2 videos ago, you mentioned fixing football. i know you are a busy man, but i would like to recommend the web series 17776 for that, it makes a lot of modifications to american football that you might want to look at.

New book 🤔🧐

lipu su li epiku :D

tawa pona! 🎉

By now we could say that "oto jenkins"(Toki pona but with english souds) editor or he(if he doesn't have an editor) is a one piece fan or just a watcher

4:37 “e” marks the object of a sentence. You might want to say “nasin pali su” instead.

Why didn’t you credit toby fox for the music??

jan ale o su!!!

Toki Pona should be the official language for whatever unclaimed lands there are (there’s one in Africa one somewhere else)

6:30 WAS THAT A NEW RADIO SHOWS REFERENCE

So, what happed to the old versions of ur vids? It used to be online pictures and all in photoshop a lot more in fact the whole video! What happed to that? I want it back :(

When will this be on duolingo

Facilish when (it’s a language with two words)

Wait why do i kinda wanna learn it…

4:24 you mean su ni en su ante pi tempo kama?
