title_body: What is the meaning of this Toki Pona sentence? I found a sentence written in order to prove that Toki Pona is a complete language. As far as I know it is a foolish nominal sentence.
  
  What is the English translation?
  
  
    pona sona pi (wawa pi ma Lipija) poka toki lawa mute pi jan lawa nanpa tu pi ma Atilanisi.
upvoted_answer: I finally got an answer from the author. The sentence meant:
  
  pona sona pi (wawa pi ma Lipija) poka toki lawa mute pi jan lawa nanpa tu pi ma Atilanisi.
  The influence of Libyan power on the election of Atlantis' vice president.
  
  The closest translation was &quot;The strength of Libya beside many commands of vice president of Atlantis&quot; by jastako.
  Here's a word-for-word translation for what I understand.
  
  pona sona was in fact pana sona: influence (idea sending)
  wawa pi ma Lipija: Libyan power
  poka: on, about
  toki lawa mute: elections
  jan lawa nanpa tu: vice president
  ma Atilanisi: Atlantis
  
  Suggestions
  Feel free to explain how you would have translated that phrase into toki pona.
