Toki Pona is an extremely small artlang - it has less than 150 words and simple structure. It's a bit ambiguous, but that's where we come in.
If we spend a few threads learning this language (which shouldn't take more than a week or so if we put our minds to it,) then we can begin using our own vocabulary and legitimately communicating in a dialect of it! You might even call it our own language...!
So, let's get started! I haven't attempted to learn this before either, so we'll do this together.

From the last thread, we added a bit more potential vocabulary. I'll list it here (as time goes on, it might move to a pastebin): komo (gay) opi (OP, gay) haha (bear) keji (gay) amerimuto (mutt/american/amerimutt) muto (mutt/american/amerimutt) pato (fat) ma mongo (finland) ifu (if) kili/jan kili (gay/gay person) jan pana (OP) postos (posts) kulupu (board) lipu kasi (board) linja (thread) jan tan (thread) palisa toki (thread) len (board) kulupu linja (board)
can we get a pastebin for vocab instead of the crappy wordlist website

Noah Murphy
o = "ooh" "oh" "ah" e = "introduces a direct object" (idk)
Gavin Foster
This ought to be good Fuck off...
Jacob Evans
e introduces a direct object o + verb = imperative o + noun = vocative

apparently toki pona does not allow the syllable "ji", so keji would not be a possible combination of syllables jan kili or komo would be better words for gay
Nathaniel Baker
I thought we already decided that since we're adapting it to Jow Forums's needs that we'd ignore that. I mean, Toki pona has a very limited number of syllables allowed anyway, I think it's too restrictive. We eere just going to use it as a base anyway.
Ryder Murphy
i think we should still use toki pona's phonotactics but add words or new grammar rules
Kevin Parker
Well we'll see how it goes as we continue. I just don't want people to get annoyed by everyone correcting them as they go. If it gets big enough that we have to worry about hard phonotactical rules then we can then, imo. Either way I can ignore my opinion rn because there is no other contradiction than keji.
Matthew Hughes
alri but keji should be kewi imo

I will give a bump for originality. We really need more of it on bant
