i've been learning and speaking toki pona for over a year now and while i personally think as fun as "la" is, it doesn't really need to be in english, but i totally get it. HOWEVER the word "o" is legitimately incredibly helpful and should be in english i cannot tell you how many times people will tell me something and i can't figure out if it's a statement or a command due to The Tism™ so "o" legitimately helps
mi kama sona e toki pona lon tenpo sike wan la mi pilin e ni: nimi 「la」 li musi mute. taso toki Inli li wile ala e nimi 「la」. TASO nimi 「o」 li pona mute a. ona o lon toki Inli. tenpo mute la jan li toki e ijo tawa mi la mi ken ala sona e kon pi toki ona tan sipije mi. ni la nimi 「o」 li wawa e mi
