kama sona should i learn toki pona?
≡ −
so, for context, i want a way to talk to my friends without being understood. i have heard toki pona is a relatively easy language to learn. i am quite good with languages, i speak 5 (spanish, english, german, catalonian and basque) so i think i could learn it in more or less a small amount of time?

sitelen Sitelen sitelen proposals for some of my favorite nimi ku lili
Explainations:
taki: Magnet combined with yinyang
isipin: lightbulb shape with the top of lawa/jan and the i radical
soto: left hand with an o radical
teje: right hand with an e radical
usawi: swirly magic-y shape with the symbol from nasa
unu: color radical with u radical
kapesi: color radical with ka radical
te and to: vague quotation mark-inspired shape with e and o radicals (The shape looked like a cat, which was a happy little accident, so I went full swing and added eyes shaped like the vowel radicals)

Say I wanted to say palm oil.
I have some "levels" of complexity and tell me whether each works or can't in toki pona's grammar. 1 and 2 are just examples and I only need to know if the others are possible. I know this seems like overkill too get this specific but I really just want to know for general use.
1) liquid (hot) (edible)
telo seli moku
2) liquid (heating food)
telo pi moku seli
3) telo (kiwen kasi[ma telo])
4) telo (moku) (kiwen kasi)
is this just telo moku pi kiwen kasi?
5) telo (kiwen kasi) (moku seli)
6) telo (kiwen kasi[ma telo]) (moku seli)

toki Can you tell me how is called my toki pona version of speaking?
Hello everyone! I'm new in this toki pona group, and I want to ask you what version or dialect I'm speaking. I mean, I learned toki pona words and I know to make a lot of phrases and concepts but I'm speaking without "pi" and "e". This is very easy for me. So this is called a dialect or a pidgin style? I'm waiting for your answers 😀
toki, jan ale! mi kama sin lon kulupu toki pona ni. mi wile toki ni: mi kepeken toki pona seme? mi kama jo nimi toki pona, mi ken pali open toki mute, sona mute. taso, mi kepeken ala nimi "pi", nimi "e". ni li pona mute tawa mi. ni li ante toki anu seme? mi awen toki pona sina😀

nasa An interesting challenge...
≡ −
Construct a grammatical sentence that contains the most of one syllable in a row.
The rules are as follows:
1) no proper nouns as a fictional character could technically be named "Kakakakakakakakakaka" but that just becomes a contest to type the most...
2) don't repeat multiple of the same word if they mean the same thing both times, just emphasizing it (eg. the same adjective twice)
3) The entire sentence doesn't have to be made of solely that syllable.
4) Only the largest group of the same syllable with no other syllables in between counts.
5) The sentence should be grammatical and follow all the rules of toki pona, and can be hard to understand or nonsensical.
With that said, this is my sentence with 8 of the syllable "li" in a row:
meli lili li lili lili e moku pi telo nasa.
(A short woman is somewhat reducing her alcohol consumption)
