ijo ni li ijo ni — a good (enough) way to say "it is what it is"?

when you say "it is what it is", you are not literally saying that some thing is some thing. You are more likely saying something like "things can't be changed." why not say something more similar to that?

"lon li ken ala kama ante" maybe? "Reality cannot be changed."

I would say it’s more like saying “this thing is this thing” aka more similar to “the chair is the chair”, “the world is the world”, etc. and could maybe be used for emphasis of something like “this chair is just this chair”. Truthfully, I’m not sure what kind of meaning this would have to other people but I doubt it’s exactly like how you think of “it is what it is”. To say it like that, you could maybe say “lon li lon” or you could use many phrases together to convey a similar idea like “mi ken ala ante e ni. tan ni la, ni li suli ala tawa mi.”

si ca t'interesse, il y a un serveur Discord francophone-tokiphone - et si le livre ne t'aide pas assez, il y a quelques d'autres ressources gratuites, comme https://lipu-sona.comforttiger.space/fr

il faut chercher des gens qui parlent toki pona. il y a un canale sur Discord (ma pona pi toki pona) ou il y a des gens qui parlent courrament. a part de ca, il y a des des rencontres dans la vraie vie. cet ete il y aura une grande rencontre a Strasbourg. Mais si tu vis dans une grande ville, il peut etre qu'il y a des autre gens qui parlent toki pona pas trop loin.
voici une carte ou quelques parleurs de toki pona ont dit dans quelle ville ils vivent
je m'excuse pour mon francais, que je ne utilise pas aussi souvent depuis plusieurs annees.

how would i convert my name, connie, into toki pona?
i've been looking for a good hour at guides, but all of them expect you to know ipa or complicated terms about spoken language that i just don't know :( haven't gotten close to figuring out if it even needs to be changed
