changelog

20/11/2024

course was moved to lipu-sona.comforttiger.space
my name has been soweli Sika for a while now, now its finally soweli Sika in here also
also made a small change to the introduction

added a little special thanks section to the frontpage. i thank all the people that made this course and its translations possible!
changed toki Wensa to toki Sensa
- multiple swedes have said that toki Sensa makes more sense to them
- i still wanted the example to highlight how there are always multiple possibilites, so i mention that it could be toki Wensa instead.
changed "obey me - o kute e mi" example to "listen to me - o kute e mi"
- it doesn't really make sense to teach that kute = obey. it's more nuanced than that.
added some extra little lessons. these aren't part of the main course, they're just little lessons i wanted to write about different topics that don't fit in the main course.
- for now there is one about nasin nanpa pona, and one about nasin sitelen kalama and nasin sitelen kalama pi linja lili. i'd like to add more later.
i added little disclaimers to a few different pages of the course, that cover ways in which the style i teach differs from many others' style. for now, i have the following disclaimers:
- different ways to think about modifiers (lesson 3)
- i turned the note about punctuation into a disclaimer (lesson 4)
- preverbs i dont teach about - alasa, open, pini (lesson 5)
- transitive verb kepeken (lesson 7)
- sentence inital kin (lesson 14)
- words i've not covered in this course (lesson 20)

did some small formatting changes to how example sentences are formatted
- i also made it easier for me to make small formatting changes to example sentences in the future
- every translation received this change too
i now introduce and explain ijo much earlier, in lesson 2
- there's now a note about ijo in lesson 2 instead. this note is similar to but a little shorter than the previous note about inclusivity in lesson 9. i'd like to make it even shorter at some point
updated a lot of vocabulary definitions
- new definitions are based on linku's ongoing definition rework, with slight changes to some definitions by me.

added definitions from lipamanka's toki pona dictionary to the vocab sections. click the words to see a more detailed explanation of the words!
added a small clarification about prepositions being stackable to lesson 7 - prepositions
made a changelog so i can keep track of things that have changed

made the vocab section look a little nicer. this is just a formatting change, so all translations received this change too.
changed "word ala word" to "ijo ala ijo"

the course now features sitelen pona next to pretty much every toki pona sentence
explanations for how sitelen pona works have been added
the website looks nicer
the extra page was removed, hints were removed, and the exercises in lesson 0 were removed.
course was moved to https://lipu-sona.kittycat.homes/ and is now hosted w/ github pages (more stable!)
