<p>
|
|
in toki pona, proper names are treated as adjectives, with a capitalized
|
|
first letter. this means that you have to pick a word which describes
|
|
what the thing is, and then modify that word with the name.

<p>
|
|
names in toki pona are "tokiponized," which means fitting the name into
|
|
toki pona phonotactics. the general guidelines to tokiponization are the
|
|
following:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>use the local name and pronounciation</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
syllables consist of a consonant, then a vowel, then an optional n.
|
|
the first consonant may be omitted.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>d->t, b->p, r->w/l/k</li>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>tapped or trilled r becomes l</li>
|
|
<li>french/german r turns to k</li>
|
|
<li>english r turns to w</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
preserving syllable count is more important than preserving consonants
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>wu, wo, ji, and ti are illegal</li>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>wu becomes u, wo becomes o, ji becomes i, and ti becomes si</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
if you're tokiponizing your own name - don't be scared to break a rule
|
|
or two if the resulting name makes you happier! it's your name and you
|
|
can do whatever you want with it
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>

people use lots of different headnouns in toki pona, depending on what
|
|
word(s) they identify with more. for example, i use soweli as my
|
|
headnoun!
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
keep this in mind when speaking toki pona! <br />
|
|
for example, since not everyone is a jan, it doesn't make sense to
|
|
translate "everyone" as "jan ale", instead you should translate it as
|
|
something like "ijo ale" or just "ale"
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
basically - don't use jan if you're not actually sure you're referring
|
|
to a jan!

my name, tess, turns into
|
|
<span class="sentence">soweli Tesa</span>!<br />
|
|
technically, my name should be <span class="sentence">Te</span>, but the
|
|
s in my name felt important to include, so it's
|
|
<span class="sentence">Tesa</span> instead!
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
my cat, tiara, is soweli Sijala!<br />
|
|
the r in her name turns into an l because i tap my r's, and the ti turns
|
|
into si.
|
|
</p>
|

|
|
a person named Elizabeth could be

<span class="sentence">jan Elisape</span>
