Toki Pona on Duolingo!

What is toki pona?
Toki Pona is a conlang with only 120 words. It has simple grammar, and is easy to learn. It is based on Taoist principles, and prefers simplicity over clarity. Today, it is the second most spoken conlang, under Esperanto, and with around the same number of speakers as Klingon.

Why on Duolingo?

Какой язык выучить проще всего
13 August 2019
Конечно, тот, в котором всего 100 слов. И такой язык существует!
Изучение иностранного языка — отличная встряска для мозга, привыкшего к родным речевым конструкциям. Но иногда даже освоение относительно простого английского вызывает трудности. В этом случае (если хочется знать ин.яз., но лень тратить килочасы на его освоение) есть обходной путь — язык токипона, в котором чуть больше 100 слов. Серьезно, 100 слов!
Токипона — это искусственный, то есть ненастоящий язык, но у него тоже есть своя интересная история. Он был придуман в 2001 году канадкой Соней Ланг. Во время работы по созданию языка Ланг вдохновлялась учениями дзен-буддистов, которые считают, что все в мире нужно максимально упрощать. Вот он и упростила.
Логотип языка токипона
Логотип языка токипона
Придуманный язык Соня Ланг называет языком бога — из-за его простоты и доходчивости. Токипона устроен таким образом, что его слова, во-первых, многозначны (например, слово «pona» означает одновременно «добрый», «теплый» и «чинить») и понять, в каком значении используется слово, можно лишь по контексту (если человек говорит о погоде, то скорее всего имеется ввиду, что она теплая, а не то, что ее нужно починить), а во-вторых, слова комбинируются друг с другом и образуют интуитивно понятные конструкции: допустим, соединяем «мебель» и «сидеть» — и получается «стул». Название самого языка, кстати, как вы, наверное, догадались, переводится как «добрый язык».
Да, большинство из современных понятий не перевести на язык токипона, но создательница языка считает, что этого и не требуется — зачем говорить о «сложном» финансовом кризисе, если можно говорить о более простых и приятных вещах?
В общем, язык-мечта. Правда, поговорить на нем удастся только в интернете, но большинству и английский-то пригождается только в отпуске, так что почему бы и нет.

Introduction to toki pona
M4rt4a | 2015
Hello,
lately I have seen a lot of posts with introductions of different languages. I find it extremely interesting, as a person who is interested in way more languages than I will ever be able to learn. But since my native language is already in the incubator I guess there is no point in explaining it.
Therefore I've decided to introduce something else, something I found out about two months ago and got into it right away. And that's toki pona.
It's a constructed language which was published online around 2001 by translator and linguist Sonja Lang. It has 120 root words, which you can use to create different ones.
For example:
suno means sun or light, ilo means tool or device
but if you combine it
ilo suno means flashlight
Other interesting thing are color names, there are only five of them: pimeja means black, walo means white, loje means red, jelo means yellow, laso means blue,
So what do you do if you want to get another color? Green, for that matter? You just have to use the same rules you would in art class, combine the colors - simple as that.
So for green you just add yellow and blue: green - jelo laso/ laso jelo
The situation is similar with numbers - in toki pona you have only wan (one), tu (two) and luka (five), the others are created by adding existing ones.
2 + 1 = 3
tu + wan = tu wan
the name 'toki pona' means 'good language' and its roots come from many different languages, like English, Finnish, Esperanto, Chinese etc.
I'm aware that there are people who think that learning new language is meaningful only when it is practical, when you can use it on a daily basis or when it helps you at work but I believe that knowledge alone has a very high value. Not to mention that language is fascinating.
With that being said, I hope you enjoyed it.
Best wishes,
Marta
