<div class="box">
|
|
<p>
|
|
toki pona is a very context-dependent language. one phrase can mean
|
|
many different things in many different contexts.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
in order to communicate properly, you need to think about and break down
|
|
what the thing you're talking about means, and how that can be expressed
|
|
in context.

<div class="quote">

<p class="sentence">jan musi lili</p>

<p>~ young entertainers</p>

<p>~ short clowns</p>

|
<p>~ a few comedians</p>

<p>
|
|
since exercises can't really have as much context as real life
|
|
situations do, the translations you come up with might differ from mine.
|
|
that's okay!
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
think for yourself if your translation might make sense in a given
|
|
context, or feel free to ask me on discord (<a
