toki pona is so. good. I’m in love with toki pona, guys.
For those who don’t know, toki pona is an artlang with only 120 words. In order to express a concept which is not limited to these words, you have to think of clever ways to say it using existing words.
Not forest, but kasi mute (many trees)
Not music, but kalama musi (playful sound)
Not blood, but telo sijelo loje (red bodily liquid)
And so on. The same concept can be described differently in different contexts: when you mean “coffee”, you may say, for example, telo pimeja pona (good black liquid) or telo pi lape lili (liquid of little sleep) or even telo pimeja pi pilin iki (black liquid that tastes bad). You get the idea.
Also, it only has 14 letters and, aside from Latin writing and adaptations for many other wriiting systems, its own adorable pictographs:
