Non-official Toki Pona:

sina kama tawa suno lon tenpo Sekulo nanpa tewani anu seme?

tewani = 20 [twenty]

I'm not sure how to express "to be born" yet...

But about "Sekulo":
tenpo Sekulo -> sike suno ale

to be born ➜ kama lon ale (come to life) [?]

"kama lon ale" is on defenitely on my personal list. :) Together with "sike e suno" (or "tawa lon (poka) sike suno"?) and "kama lon ma", "kama lon", "kama".

OK. I"ll "adopt" kama lon ale. :-)

Tepan Tepan April 17, 2021 April 17, 2021 at 4:13:46 PM UTC flag Report link Permalink

At this point, I wonder if "lon ale" might be used in order to express "alive", too? ...

Why not?

I'm trying to be cautious, that's all. It's easy to be a victim of one's own calque in Toki Pona...

In any language. :-)
