Example Sentences
- "I know of lipu Linku. However, it doesn’t have the names for all the ma and toki (e.g. toki Inli, ma Mewika, etc.), and I do not know all the endonyms so that I can tokiponize as needed. Is there a site with those? I know Wiktionary has some, but only in an appendix and it’s inconvenient to access."
- "About the last translation, some would deem necessary to tokiponize names, i.e. turning all the sounds not present in toki pona into their closest toki pona equivalent."
- "I live in the U.S. state of Arizona, and most people who speak Toki Pona would tokiponize this place as "ma Awisona pi ma Mewika." However, I will maintain that this is not correct; the correct tokiponization is "ma Alisona pi ma Mewika." There is a very good reason for changing the "w" to an "l": the English name "Arizona" comes from the O'odham name "alĭ ṣonak," which tokiponizes to "ma Alisona." […] However, somewhere like, say, New Mexico would be tokiponized as "ma Jotojajoso" (based off of the Navajo name "Yootó Hahoodzo")."
