so this is just an ace attorney version of jan Kekan San's comic which you can watch here, it is very musi with the voices i recommend

if you're unaware, toki pona is a conlang with less than 200 words. this comic specifically uses the writing system "sitelen pona" (but if you want to learn toki pona, its mostly written in latin characters so you don't need to learn the writing system)

the dialogue in toki pona is as follows:

trucy: toki apollo: toki. sina seme? trucy: mi lon e ma apollo: seme a?! sina lon ma anu seme? trucy: ni ala. mi lon e ma

now time to try and explain this... i'll be using jan Kekan San's explanation to help out.

this comic is based on a common grammatical mistake in toki pona. the word "lon" has meanings as a noun, verb, and preposition. as a preposition it is most commonly used to mean "at" or "in". when used as a transitive verb it means "to make exist"

so someone may say "mi lon e ma" to mean they are at a place, when really they are saying they make a place exist. what they mean to say is "mi lon ma"

with this i will now try to translate the dialogue into english, though it will be a little awkward

trucy: hello apollo: hello. what are you doing? trucy: i am making a planet exist apollo: what?! are you on a planet? trucy: not that. i am making a planet exist

ok i hope you enjoyed my toki pona lesson and maybe this comic is at least a tiny bit funny
