minus-squareClbull@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 days agoNah, they’d learn Toki Pona, because it’s an amazing interlanguage.
minus-squaredaggermoon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 days agoBecause it’s a W language meant to foster international communication and understanding.
minus-squareblindbunny@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoSorry for my ignorance, what’s a W language??
minus-squaredaggermoon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 days agoW, like winner. It’s internet slang. It’s a winning language.
minus-squareblindbunny@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-22 days agoYou sent me down this rabbit hole, you meanie.

minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoJes. Mi lernis paroli Esperanton antaŭ kelkaj jaroj. Estas amuze, sed neniu parolas ĝin.
