Since you asked for it, here's some critiques of that _final test_ you gave yourself: - "mi sona ni" should be "mi sona e ni" - using "kin la" as a conjunction, as in joining two sentences together with it into one larger sentence, isn't something you can do in the same way you would with English words like 'and.' It can be used to start a new sentence if you want, but conjunctions don't really exist in TP with the possible exception of anu. Also, I'm not entirely sure what the word 'also' would actually mean in this context. I would just remove the word 'kin' and make it "o kama sona e toki pona la ..." or maybe "sina kama sona e toki pona la..." - the word 'jo' can mean 'have', but only in the sense of having or owning something, such as "I have an apple". The English word 'have' is weird and can mean about a dozen different things. In the case of "have a good time," which I assume you tried to translate, the word 'have' doesn't actually convey ownership, so 'jo' isn't a great fit. I would probably just phrase that part of the sentence completely differently, such as "sina ken pilin pona" or "ona li ken pona tawa sina." Everything else seems good though. I'm honestly quite impressed. The toki pona cult continues to grow!

really loving the exposure that toki pona is getting as of recently!!! i thought a few things were worth mentioning, though! the word "kijetesantakalu", the one that means raccoon, was actually added by sonja as an april fools joke! it was funny to create an overly long word with an overly specific definition, but people liked it enough that it became official!!! also, the reason why in toki pona is pronounced like english's is to remain consistent with most languages, as most actually do pronounce the letter j that way lol

I also like that it's visible that you put a lot of effort into learning the language before making the video. I agree that the main reason to learn it is that it's just a lot of fun!

for those attempting to learn toki pona, try Jan Telekoman's 30 days of toki pona story series. Because the vocabulary is so small, you don't need to do any kind of studying to jump in and have some understanding of what is being said. sitelen tawa pi jan Telekoman li pali e toki pona mi !

I kind of been wanting to learn this for a while, I think it would have been best to start into the summer but that has past so maybe on weekends and breaks. I can get the official book though but it would be cool if I could, I mostly want to learn it because it's simplicity among other reasons. I guess for now though I'll be getting back to attempting to translate the Zonai script.

There is still room for optimization. For example, instead of color names we can use the corresponding RGB values. This will let us strike 6 words off the dictionary while making toki pona a lot more precise in this particualr aspect.
