>Seems it could take some explanation to ask a guest whether they wanted coffee or tea.

Green or black liquid?

Now we have a word for green too? /s

Looking it up, it seems like there are only five words for colors:

pimeja (black), walo (white), loje (red), jelo (yellow), and laso (blue and green)

Interesting. I asked GPT4 if it can translate and it responded a very confident Yes. Below is the translation.

In Toki Pona, the translation for "Would you like coffee or tea?" would be:

"sina wile e kafe anu telo nasa?"

Here's a breakdown:

"sina" = you

"wile" = want/need

"e" = direct object marker

"kafe" = coffee (borrowed word)

"anu" = or

"telo nasa" = literally "intoxicating liquid", often used to mean "tea" or "alcohol" (there's no specific word for "tea" in Toki Pona, but in some contexts, "telo nasa" can be used to mean tea)

It's worth noting that because Toki Pona has such a limited vocabulary, some words and concepts may be represented differently than in other languages.

Lmao that is awful. Do you want a laso dress or a laso dress?

No, easy! Laso or jelo laso.

Loje laso walo = mauve I guess.

Yes please.
