What was the context? Was it like with a friend, or like with a stranger?
Since it’s so simple to learn I am thinking about learning it just as a networking activity, since it’ll pop up eventually
ike la mi pali ala e ni. ilo Siko en ilo Ekenpipi la mii toki e toki pona. toki pona pi lon taso la.
Not yet, sadly. Just on Discord, XMPP, etc., and only in tp-situations.
I don’t speak it, but given how popular it is, I imagine someone on Earth has already run into another speaker randomly in person.
If you’re talking online, then yeah it happens all the time.
for online people that you’ve spoken to, have you not shared any other language with them, aside from toki pona?
I don’t know Toki Poki myself, but probably 99% of people who know it also know English or Esperanto, so it’s likely not to be the sole shared language between me and another person, but it could happen
mi sona e toki pona lon jan pona
But after a year of not speaking it I’m very rusty, and the fact that I’ve been learning madarin doesn’t help, because I think I’m transposing chinese grammar onto toki pona
