minus-squareShadow Glider@piefed.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·9 days agoI use li after mi and sina in compound sentences to make it clear that it’s a compound sentence. I have so many opinions, I should make a toki pona com and put them there.
minus-squareOf the Air (cele/celes)@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 days agoAh, we guess we find that confusing, heh. We have opinions too, heh. Btw, we use kulupu for a headnoun, not jan.

minus-squareShadow Glider@piefed.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·9 days agobtw you don’t use e after tawa if you have it mean “to” (which seems to be what you planned based on the meanings mi wile musi tawa sina - I want to be fun to you mi wile musi tawa e sina - I want to make you movement-fun Though I think it’s more likely you wanted to say something that would be better written as “mi wile e mi en sina li musi”)
