  • Speaking , writing and than reading , listening are indeed not self-evident … Toki Pona has only some 123 words and almost all are polysemic (having different meanings) and plus have different usages (noun, verb, adjective, adverb) … learning the root words is the surest start and can help to get used to circumlocutions as ‘moving house’ “tomo tawa” for ‘car’ … “waso nasa” (stupid bird) for ‘duck’ … “telo nasa” (crazy water) for alcohol [bear/wine/whiskey/cognac/… whatever the context has on disposal ; a bit more difficult if the context is richer on these beverages, but indicating ‘loje’ on top of it when it is red wine you want, can already help you out of most of the potential troubles]
