@Tepan @hecko
Toki Pona translation by a redditor:
jan li jo e tomo la, ma sama tomo ni li lon ala.

that feels awkward and long-winded to me
i'd do something like `ma (ante?) ala li pona sama tomo [mi / jan tawa ona]` but more correct

What hecko said.

Plus, more in detail: "ma" for "place" is "Ku", as well as using a preposition ("sama") in a subject ("ma sama tomo ni"). The sentence reads as "If someone has a home, a place like this home doesn't exist." I'd rather try "nothing is like (a) home". In fact, I'm adding it now.

Side note: The funny thing about "ma" being used as "place" is that "ma"'s most general (original, non-Ku) translation can be thought of as "outdoor location", in contrast to "tomo", which is then an "indoor location". With this in mind, "there is no outdoor location like an indoor location" makes me giggle. :)
