 Hey guys, welcome to week 2 of my Tokipona update. Now, if you watched my first video, you are already aware of the fact that I have done a total of 4 hours Tokipona study. Now, for this week I've done an additional 4 hours, therefore I'm now at a total, I guess, of 8 hours. Maths for the wind. Okay, so what have I done? Well, I've primarily been watching the videos from Jan Telekomar, so I am about halfway or just under halfway through his series of videos and I'm quite enjoying those videos. Apart from that, I've also been using your comments on my last video as a means to improve my Tokipona, because his videos are primarily about like short stories and yours are primarily just about like my videos and actual, I'd say, everyday conversations in a way. So I'm getting like different flavors of Tokipona in there. Finally, I've also jumped into the Kamasana Tokipona channel and Discord. However, I haven't really engaged in anyone there. I've been just lurking in the shadows, reading the comments and the threads and kind of just picking up little bits and pieces here and there. I don't want to jump into any like active conversations and I specifically don't want to get into the voice chats just as of yet, because I am very fearful of my current level of Tokipona. Now, I know all the science says that you should get out there, like start speaking. Well, I actually do, but I primarily do with my cat, my pillow, myself, and people who aren't going to critique me on the fly. So I'm more than happy to do like a video like this, get it all out of my head, and then get critiqued and sit down and study those critiques after the fact, but I don't like to be in a conversation with someone who will be like critique, critique, critique, like every single thing, specifically when I'm making lots of little mistakes here and there. So I feel like I kind of I'm not at that stage yet where I want to engage in conversations. Anyway, I wanted to tell you guys a story in Tokipona using my current ability to give you an idea of where I am at. So I guess we shall begin. Let me just get a drink. Tempo sono Luca Pinilla. Mi lukne sielo mi. Mi lukne sielo mi? Hmm, evil deer. Sielo mi li lukne pona alla. Sielo mi li wawa alla. Sielo mi li suli lili. Mi wille wawa esielo mi. Mi toki inse ni mi ken palie seme.

Mi kame yo e ilotoki mi tawa mi tawa kepeken tempo lili mi tawa tomosuli wawa. Mi kamatawa tomosuli wawa la. Mi lukne maale mi toki inse ni mi ken palie seme. Ilosuli mi lukne ilosuli. Mi ken wawa esielo mi kepeken ilosuli mi tawa ilosuli mi kamayoe ilosuli. Mi ken palie seme. Mi ken anpa e lukne mi. Mi ken sewi e lukne mi. Mi ken anpa e lukne mi. Mi ken sewi e lukne mi.

Ah, mi pakla anpa pi palie seme li pilin ike. Tempo sono nila. Mi wile toki muse ala tawa sina. Mi, mi ken, mi ken, tawa kepeken tempo mute. Taso mi ken ala sewi e sielo mi. Mi ken ala sewi e sielo mi. Tani mi pakla e anpa pi palie seme li. Mi ken tawa. Taso mi ken tawa kepeken tempo mute. Mi ken ala sewi e sielo mi. Nili toki muse ala. Mi wile e ni toki muse ala mi. Li panna tawa sina. Ni li pi ni toki muse mi li pi ni. Okay. There was a few spots in there where I was telling the story and I wasn't actually sure how I wanted to express certain concepts because to give you guys an idea, I learned like a couple of things that I thought I might need to know and then I just kind of randomly told the story to myself a few times but there was like certain things where I wanted to say like, for example, something bad happened to me. Like would that be Iopona ala kama tawa mi? I'm not sure if that's like correct grammar or if that's just me like applying English thinking upon toki panna. I'm not sure. There was a few other things like I wanted to say I think I hurt my back because of this. So I think mi toki inse ni I hurt my back. Mi pakala e monsi mi. Now because of this tani because of like the heavy weights would I say like ilosulili sulimute? I'm not sure. Like now that I think about it, that probably makes sense but like in the moment it just didn't come to me. So that's my progress so far. Feel free in the comments below to correct me and give me better suggestions of how to say things and I will totally take all that on board and use that like to expand my capacity in this language moving forward. Remember my end goal is to eventually probably become one of the best toki panna speakers out there and make videos once a week about random stories. Okay, see yous.
