i didn't know til last night that toki pona is supposed to be like this super positive thing that helps rewire your brain to see things more happily or whatevs
that's really cool, i can get behind that, good vibes are good
and hacking your brain to be happy is even better
like apparently there's not really a way to describe things negatively in that language lol
420, toki pona question
i'm super curious
since it's supposed to be this super positive language and everything
how do you say "smoke weed every day" in toki pona?
i couldn't find like an auto-translator for it anywhere so i've cracked open this page
https://tokiponadictionary.herokuapp.com/
i wrote down a list of words that could relate
kon - breathe
sewi - high
pona - positive
kasi - herb
laso - green (but also blue)
tenpo - time
ale - everything
so "kon kasi" would be "breathe herb" i think
but how would you say "every day"?
would it be like... "kon pona kasi ale tenpo?"
"breathe positive herb all the time?"
re: 420, toki pona question
@vantablack "la" is called a "context marker" and is usually used to set off things like that
so you could start the sentence with "tenpo ale la" (adjectives come after nouns in toki pona)
"tenpo ale la kon e kasi pona" would be a simple translation - "breathe the good herb every day"
re: 420, toki pona question
@vantablack oh wait, "o" is used for imperatives
so it'd be more like "tenpo ale la o kon e kasi pona"
