Is that toki pona? I have no idea what your saying but i love it.

Rough translation:

Panel 1

Person 1: go to them.

Person 2: my moving house is number 1.

Panel 2

Person 1: what

To further explain, the joke is that "tomo tawa" could mean either "car" or "moving house"

Feels like theres a lot of meme potential for misinterpreted toki pona

[-] nebula42@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

here's a really good example, you do have to know toki pona for it to be funny though.

Less rough translation: 1: My moving house (which ppl often mean as far) is number 1
2: bring it

2: what

I think the order they talk in in panel 1 is inverted actually. More like:

Person 2: My car/moving house is the best.

Person 1: Bring it here

why? i can see why someone would hate a language like esperanto, or perhaps japanese even, but what's so wrong about toki pona that makes it so that you actively hate it, as opposed to simply not liking it?

i hate its history i hate the people ive met that speak it i hate the way it sounds i hate the ideas its based on i hate the way the languags is built the Sapir-whorf hypothesis is stupid and Sonja Lang is like an annoying aunt that talks about some wish wash taoist principals that saved her relationship with her abusive husband
