Ah, can't do so apparently. (I don't have a clue how Bsky decides who you can DM.)
But if there's another way for me to send it, lmk!

This is intentional, because otherwise Google has absolutely no defense against spamming the survey, which is an issue we've seen before.
But I'll send you a DM with the alt link shortly!

No, this is still an error. Whether ni refers to the weeds or the issue of weeding, the verb indicates that they/it is "not newly coming"; the appropriate reading would either convey that you don't need to weed again, or that the weeds won't grow back, both pragmatically meaning the same thing.

The listener has made an error, then. This interpretation is not correct, and that isn't the fault of the language. The word "kama" there clarifies the function of the sentence, describing a change of state.

- All of the examples you gave share the ambiguating property of the original, being short
- But all of them are also instantly distinguished by the circumstances in which they are spoken, unless the speaker is being intentionally vague (which is fine lol)

This is ambiguous, but this sentence is one of very few where this matters. For all the rest, you can determine when a word is a prep by how large the prior part of speech would be if it were *not* a prep- because then the sentence would be nonsense. And otherwise, this is just how languages are?

It's curious to hear this- the community tried mass lexicalization ~20yrs ago; the community was much smaller then, but it didn't work out because it defeats the purpose of the small lexicon!
I'd say the original complaint is accurate though- the difficulty of toki pona is long term, not short term!

It's not required! I believe most speakers don't know it, and those that do mostly use it for art pieces. But it is extremely pretty!
