How do you say “Free Palestine” in Toki Pona?

Toki Pona is a 140-word minimalist constructed language created by Sonja Lang. Because of the extreme paucity of words, you have to really think about what you mean when you translate something. This makes it a great tool for clarifying your own thoughts.

There is no single word for “free” in Toki Pona. The community-sourced Toki Pona dictionary lists pona, meaning “good,” as the top translation. The other relevant translation is ken, meaning “can.” The latter better represents what I mean by “free,” but is it enough?

Right now, Palestinians aren’t free to move around their own country. They aren’t free to go back to their homes that they still hold the keys to, to determine their own fate, or even to go to school in many cases. They aren’t free from bombings, or from collective punishment, and they aren’t free to exist in their own land free of suspicion and hate.

Many conlang-speaking groups happen organically, and high school students and teachers often send me examples. Here, the Toki Pona club had a booth at an end-of-year carnival event. pakala Mapuju en sakawi li pana e sona pona! #tokipona

So, an #introduction post:

- We're a #plural system, collectively #genderfluid
- We use they/them, ze/zir, she/her, and occasianally he/him
- We spend a lot of our time lost in a good #book , most of the rest goes to #f1
- We love #sciencefiction and #horror in just about any medium.
- Big #metalcore fan, though we do listen to a large variety of music.

I've got a #tokipona question. I'm considering giving some characters in my game toki pona names. Is… that a thing? I don't know if it has a system for making names, I don't really know much about it in general, I just think it's neat and might fit these extradimensional beings

The #tokiPona community has really been active on here lately. I really need to get back to that.

I should build myself a toki pona flashcard program using the dictd implementation I made for it:

Surely yet another side project will make me learn the thing.

if i made a video, whats the best way to get a video captioned in #tokipona? i know id never finish doing it myself but accessibility matters a lot
