Toki Pona Dictionary: 2 (Official Toki Pona)

Having an updated and extensive dictionary is necessary for any language learner, and especially for any jan pi toki pona! Can't wait to get additional books to help me learning the language of good!

A present - unseen at this time.

With 3.5 the size of pu, this book is surprisingly chonky!What to expect: A ton of translated English terms, a reflection of how toki pona is currently usedWhat not to expect: An overhaul of the language, toki pona 2.0This book is mostly really what it claims to be: a dictionary, meant to facilitate both understanding word combinations that others use if you don't understand them and using the language *practically* if you want inspiration or struggle with going beyond learning the basics with pu.Yes, there are extra words in there. No, not all of them are considered important - in fact, the frequency index will give you an indication of how much something is used. And even with the 17 "nimi ku suli" that are considered important enough, it's entirely up to the individual person - but you will most likely meet those in the wild, so now you can look them up.Ok, but also, there is extra stuff in there! Let me go through them!- Some relatively minor corrections to pu. Most of them are more like clarifications that people have asked about over the years- Some discussion about the different ways people use toki pona now. ku is not meant to supersede pu, so while ku upholds some core pu philosophical principles, the one core concept that seems to permeate ku is: many ways are valid, play with the language, pu is not the end-all-be-all (and neither is ku)- Some of jan Sonja's tongue-in-cheek humour. Look out for how seriously you take her.- 3 pages of creations by other people: 2 poems, 1 new number system that jan Sonja recommends (see previous point)- sitelen pi suwi mute: The illustrations by Vacon Sartirani are both cute and funny. I would have liked about 10 times more of them =)- Some hilarious entries in the dictionary. Best one I've seen so far: "jan kalamARR" for pirateOverall, I really like going through the book and see what possible translations for different words are. As someone who likes both using toki pona as close to pu as I feel is reasonable and seeing other people having fun with the language in a different way than I use, I was really, really concerned when I heard rumours about a new book. But now that it's here, I think this is handled really well and the book will be a positive experience in the coming years!

El diccionario inglés - tokipona es muy útil para aquellos que quiera dominar el leguaje y ya eran años en los que lo esperábamos.Sin embargo, las decisiones tomadas dependen mucho del inglés ¡una lástima para un idioma que quiere ser universal!

After a quick introduction, the dictionary has two parts: English to Toki Pona (example) and Toki Pona to English. Superscripts above the words give the frequency index (1/2 = <11%, 1 = 11 to 20%, 2 = 21-40% ...). A must have!Après une brève introduction, le dictionnaire comporte deux parties : de l'anglais vers le toki pona (exemple) et du toki pona vers l'anglais. Les exposants au dessus des mots donnent l'indice de fréquence (1/2 = <11%, 1 = 11 à 20%, 2 = 21-40%...).Un indispensable!o ku :-)
