Translation Question (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

mi open toki pona.

So I ask in english, would “sijelo ike tenpo ale” be a working translation for “lifelong illness”?

Pona! I have a doubt. the word for nature (plants+animals+humans+rocks) could be ale?

Do you want to try a Lemmy client which has a toki pona translation for its user interface?

Posting this here semi-exclusively (after putting it out on Soundcloud and shown to a few friends), "wide" release will be after video's done (that's been put on hold 4 months ago).

Not the best, said some things I wouldn't, broke grammar, but it's something.

Originally published on twitter between 2022-12-15 and 2023-07-25, it is an 11 part serial, each part fitting into a single tweet (280 characters at the time of writing). The main influence should be reasonably clear.

Just managed to push it out before midnight, now it's 0:04.

Audio-only and instrumental versions are available on my soundcloud, all under CC-BY.

~~technically there's also an a capella version, but that's privated~~

Video is "low effort", but still took almost 7 hours to make (starting with writing out the lyrics on paper, scanning the papers, editing and cutting up the images, yada-yada-yada, rendering the video, and finally running through ffmpeg again because I changed my mind on one thing and using an ffmpeg filter was faster then re-rendering).

I know of lipu Linku. However, it doesn't have the names for all the ma and toki (e.g. toki Inli, ma Mewika, etc.), and I do not know all the endonyms so that I can tokiponize as needed. Is there a site with those? I know Wiktionary has some, but only in an appendix and it's inconvenient to access.
