My initial impressions of Toki Pona were that you’d struggle to communicate anything more than basic thoughts but people in the community have told me they’ve had robust philosophical conversations. Seems like a wonderful group of people in my interactions.

- dancemethis 3y agoIn a way, this is pretty amusing. Two people ending up having very different conversations... talking to each other.
- labster 3y agoReminds me of some ex girlfriends.
- kian 3y agoI wonder that about all conversations.
- shadowofneptune 3y agoThat's part of the idea. It's that you slow down, try to figure out what exactly the other person means by what they are saying. In a language with a fixed vocabulary, context becomes even more important than normal.
- grotorea 3y agoSounds like the opposite problem from lojban, where having highly precise conversation is possible (and like most of the point) but effortful to achieve.
