farewells; tawa pona

The jan culture has some fixed formulae for farewells, but a common practice is just providing a heartfelt, small advice. It doesn't need to be specifically related to the person or the situation at had. Each jan builds a library of personal farewells that use with different people and in different circumstances, and it is generally considered kind and nice to provide this kind of advice. Some examples are:

  • o moku e kala pona!

  • o lon poka seli! (in the cold season)

  • o noka ala e pipi!

  • o moku e telo!
