I keep laughing all the time when i was watching this video lol. But i must ask, did he really made that many mistakes, or are you exaggerating it? He sounds passionate talking about Toki Pona, so it just feels odd how he got so many mistakes
honestly i do feel like i was kind of going at him for some petty points, like at when 1:20 when he was clearly talking about grammatical gender and number instead of literal genders and numbers
3:34 "this sort of system isn't unheard of" oh ok- he's going to talk about chinese logograms- or egyptian hieroglyphs or- "like arabic" 💀 unbridled silliness. musi a.
I’m genuinely convinced this whole video was a meme. Every other mistake was in true HAI spirit, but I refuse to accept that he pointed to Arabic as an example for a logographic script unironically. ona li ken ala. taso, mi olin e ona.
especially pakola like the sheer fucking irony of mispelling the word used for "mistake" is so fucking funny to me ive been obsessing over it since noticing it oh my god im not well
3:35 I absolutely love the amount of sonic chaos lol Also I was one of the people who on the original video said "ARABIC IS PHONETIC!!" (albeit in a more wordy and informative way, as a student of the language). But yeah he makes so many mistakes and half-truths in this video I've became more skeptical of his overall content. This is the definition of "confidently incorrect".
I wouldn’t judge Him too hard hes clearly outside of his comfort zone of airplanes, airports, and airplains. Also it’s probably hard to fact check consitering it’s a small community
@@stickstories2750 The thing is, writing systems are one of the easier things to fact check. If you typed into google "what kind of writing does Arabic use?" you get an image that shows it clearly is phonetic. It takes 5-10 seconds to type that for most people, even if you're a slow typer. And the toki pona community also really nit-picked his every mistake in toki pona. I know that fact checking can be hard but considering toki pona is simple enough to have the entire language rules and dictionary on a single piece of paper on both sides, the amount of mistakes makes it feel really rushed and it's making a lot of other people wonder how much he sacrifices quality for quantity. Also HAI has plenty of videos about weird legal policies and mildly interesting mysteries and stuff so it's not like HAI can't make a video about airplanes and have it be informative. But it's also important to be informative without spreading misinformation.
A couple more I noticed: 2:12 You can describe complex things, it's just harder and typically takes more words 2:24 There are more than three basic number words
@@stevenlaczko8688 my friends and I count like this: ala (0), wan (1), tu (2), mute (3/+), tupitu (4 from 2-2's), luka (5 from hand), poki (10 from bag), ali (100) We count in senary instead of decimal so we we don't need 7, 8, or 9 since those are written 11, 12, and 13 respectively. Apologies for not saying all this in toki pona it's been a few months since I used it regularly
It’s kinda like if some language directly loaned English “cyan”, which is a borrowing from Ancient Greek “κύανος”, and then STUPID HAI said that it’s from “Greek”. It’s kinda from Greek, but not directly, and it would be a bit misleading to say it is with the fairly different meaning and pronunciation.
"only 120 words" and "if there are more than two, you say mute" are technically true but in the most pointless kind of way; very few people actually speak toki pona that way, and is only seen in some books about toki pona. also kokosila to everyone including me
i can’t wait for the yearly mistakes roundup on the hai channel in 2023. this video will take up like 60% of it, and he might as well just redo the whole video.
1:21 is that what he meant when he said there wasn't genders? In portuguese, for example, aluno & aluna are the same word, and they both mean student portuguese has genders, but english doesn't (even when words like blond/blonde or waiter/waitress exist)
It really isn’t clear in the video whether he is talking about grammatical gender or words for gender since before it he says it doesn’t have tense (something in the grammar) and after it he says it doesn’t have numbers (something that is words). I also feel that with the amount of mistakes that he is making throughout the video, he is thinking of gender an in English context, a language that doesn’t have gender.
@@erisstewart4236 technically speaking by "numbers" he could hav also been referring to the grammar? like singular or plural. though i don't know if that is the correct way to say it in english
Someone do ""HAI's toki pona video but everytime sam makes a mistake a gunshot plays" but everytime a gunshot plays it's always "MY NAME IS SKYLER WHITE, YO!""
2:49 what makes this even worse, is that a correct translation is so much simpler: "mi olin e kiwen". Which translates, word for word, to "I love bricks".
Sam is jan samu samu in toki pona is "want new word" Sini Mi Pakola pokilohelonsinpinlipokitawa new word for box red on new wall is box move that's brick yes He's 100% correct
Ok, some mistakes, but what's wrong about: 0:03 - "sina sona ala sona?" Yeah, the question before wasn't great (the kind of thing I'd mentally skip over and guess from context when I listen to someone), but this phrase serves perfectly fine as a way to say "do you know (it)?" 1:20 - That's just silly. Any person who knows, like, something about languages would know in this context that what is meant is grammatical gender and grammatical number, not any imaginable way of expressing those things. 2:31 - Sam describes a perfectly valid nasin nanpa that, as far as I know, is also the most common nasin to determine number on pronouns (apart from wan) and represents the kon pi toki pona very well. There are other, more effective nasin nanpa, but what's said is reasonable for that video. 3:59 - What the fridge are you tal- I mean gunshotting about? The sitelen pona on screen spell out Sam, and there are many other ways to do that. I guess you're upset that Sam didn't tokiponise his name before writing it in sp. I mean... I suppose... if you're desperate to find something improper... maybe? And finally, what's with the inconsistency of saying 120 words is "wrong" but then there's no problem with "five colour words"? Like, there's your unu, kapesi etc... Either say that talking about toki pona pi nasin pu as "toki pona" is wrong or don't.
@@brightblackhole2442 So you say that you can't write anything but toki pona words using sitelen pona, because it was created for toki pona. Fair enough. I would just say that aequā lege lingua Angla litterīs Latinīs numquam scribatur. Edita: declinātio ablativi casūs

I would say “you made a mistake at 1:21 since they are talking about grammatical gender and not gendered words” but since they talk about it not have numbers after and tense before, there is no way of telling if they mean grammatical gender or words for gender.
Its vowels aren’t “based off the Spanish vowels.” It’s the standard 5-vowel system, the most common arrangement of vowels, also found in Japanese, Hawaiian, Greek, and Hebrew to name a few
@@notwithouttext It does say on the Wiktionary page, Appendix: Toki Pona/toki, "From Tok Pisin tok (“message, word, to speak”), from English talk." So Sam wasn't wrong about that, it seems.

wait what's wrong with "sina sona ala sona?"? also given it was with tenses, I intuitively interpreted "genders" and "numbers" as grammatical gender and number, and... toki pona doesn't have those.
It's so ironic HAI explained the hardest and most complicated language in the world (Ithkuil) almost flawlessly but completely failed to explain even the basics of the easiest language (toki pona) and also completely butchered it and didn't understand any grammar while the Ithkuil grammar was a piece of cake and they did everything correctly
why do you say "maybe tonsi too" at 1:21 but then act like the "wan tu luka mute ale" construction is accepted as fact? if i'm not misremembering, that was created by the community and is a non-pu use of the words. so are we accepting non-pu constructions or not?
2:56 how the heck do you get a translation wrong for a language that you can double-check with a dictionary that literally fits on a single-sided print-out?!
He was right, the language doesn’t have gender. English doesn’t have gender even though we have gender nouns. I feel like you got a little carried away.
i do understand that it's both fun and easy to criticize and dump on other peoples' work with a video like this, but at the very least you should have put what was wrong (reason for each gunshot) in the description. better yet, make a better video! you might learn that when you don't oversimplify some things you end up with a 45min video that nobody watches. best of luck to ya and your channel!
0:34 It's not that hard to complain, ni li ike. 0:50 There are actually 10 consonants, j k l m n p s t w y. 2:45 I know you caught it but wth is "poki loje lon sinpin li poki tawa" bruh just say mi olin e kiwen 3:30 siTElen pona 😔
2:51 “mi pona poki loje a” is at least a closer guess although my grammar is still really weak I literally started learning this week and even I don’t understand what the hell is going on here
okay it turns out am still using pona wrong, but i mean “poki loje li lon la mi pilin pona a” okay it turns out am still using pona wrong, but i mean “poki loje li lon la mi pilin pona a” ~ when the red container exists, then I feel very good poki loje is a weird way of saying bricks but that’s semantics more than grammar
"poki" is for containers and not box-like objects, i'd go for "kiwen loje li pona tawa mi" (red hard-objects are good in my view) you're kind of making it more complicated than it needs to be, you could also just use "olin" (olin is not specifically romantic love)
Asking English speakers to not aspirate plosives or glide vowels is a little much. It's pretty hard, and it goes against the whole reason why Toki Pona has a small phonemic inventory. It's like saying that Ulaanbaatar should be pronounced as [ʊ.ɮä́ːm.päː.ʰtɐ̆r] no matter what your native language is because that's how it's said in Mongolian.

HAI's toki pona video but everytime BEN AND ADAM make a mistake a gunshot plays
0:34 It's not that hard to complain, ni li ike.
0:50 There are actually 10 consonants, j k l m n p s t w y.
2:45 I know you caught it but wth is "poki loje lon sinpin li poki tawa" bruh just say mi olin e kiwen
3:30 siTElen pona 😔
2:51 “mi pona poki loje a” is at least a closer guess although my grammar is still really weak
I literally started learning this week and even I don’t understand what the hell is going on here
okay it turns out am still using pona wrong, but i mean
“poki loje li lon la mi pilin pona a”
okay it turns out am still using pona wrong, but i mean
“poki loje li lon la mi pilin pona a”
~ when the red container exists, then I feel very good
poki loje is a weird way of saying bricks but that’s semantics more than grammar
"poki" is for containers and not box-like objects, i'd go for "kiwen loje li pona tawa mi" (red hard-objects are good in my view)
you're kind of making it more complicated than it needs to be, you could also just use "olin" (olin is not specifically romantic love)
The video was kinda funny.
Can we report the original video for misinformation?
also missed n in interjection list
0:08 he pronounced "toki" wrong (yes I will nitpick pronunciation just because of how much else he messed up lmao) (it's "toki" not "t(h)owki")
toki pona is pronounced like that in English. See the wikipedia page.
Asking English speakers to not aspirate plosives or glide vowels is a little much. It's pretty hard, and it goes against the whole reason why Toki Pona has a small phonemic inventory. It's like saying that Ulaanbaatar should be pronounced as [ʊ.ɮä́ːm.päː.ʰtɐ̆r] no matter what your native language is because that's how it's said in Mongolian.
“sini” means “here” in indonesian
3:36 what the hell was he smoking
sitelen tawa li pona suli a!
