O live journal. What accounts for your drop off in popularity?

pi-predicates.
The stuff after a li is usual an noun phrase, a verb phrase (transitive or intransitive) or a prepositional phrase. And then there is the pi-predicate. The pi-predicate doesn't act like a pi-chain in a noun phrase. It is a predicate that is a sort of transformation of li jo e.

Y li jo e X ==> X li pi Y

These are all examples from the community corpus

len ni li pi mi ala. tenpo ali la ma en ken en pona li pi sina. tenpo ale la ma la ken la nimi li pi sina. kili ni li pi mi. toki Epelanto li pi jan ali. tomo li pi mi insa ma tomo Kelejo, mi somo ma tomo. ilo ni li pi sina. ona li pi jan lawa pona.

What is unelegant about li pi is that to write a machine parser, I have to introduce a datastructure just for this, or treat li pi as a syntax error.

The main toki pona forum has gone down. 

Here are some options the community can use while waiting for the forums to go back up:

jan Kute's forum - discussions are in toki pona, french and Esperanto.

jan Mato's forum - discussions in toki pona and English, and a section on other small languages.

I want to add to the Wahawafe project. 

To translate: We are humans and we are from Earth. 
I have: mi mute jan. mi mute lon ma. 

Is this correct?
