This was recently on a textbin, glad I backed it up: A More Refined Minimal Language Inspired by Toki Pona & SpamTec & Ytcracker

Basic Vocabulary:

suno - sun, light, day moku - food, eat tomo - shelter, place, structure telo - drink, water, fluid jan - individual, person soweli - creature, animal kama - future, approach, event tawa - move, direction, towards ni - this, present mi - self, I sina - other, you ona - they, he, she, it Grammar:

Basic Structure: Subject + Verb (or Predicate)

mi moku. - I eat. sina suno. - You shine or You are sunny. Direct Objects are introduced with "e":

mi moku e telo. - I consume water. (I drink water.) sina tawa e tomo. - You move towards the shelter. (You go to the house.) Questions:

For yes/no questions, use "seme" after the verb. mi moku seme? - Do I eat? sina tawa seme? - Are you moving? For open-ended questions, place "seme" where the unknown is. seme li moku? - Who eats? sina tawa e seme? - Where are you going? Tense Indication:

Past: Use pini before the verb. Future: Use kama before the verb. mi pini moku. - I previously ate. (I ate.) mi kama moku. - I will eat soon. (I will eat.) Negation: Use ala after the verb.

mi moku ala. - I don't eat. Possession: Use pi between the possessor and the thing possessed.
