GRAMMAR TIP


The use of li
Phrases such as mi moku can have two potential meanings:
I'm eating or I am food.
There is one way to specify that you want to say I'm eating versus I am food.
Observe:
kili = fruit
mi moku = I am eating - I eat
mi moku e kili = I eat fruit.

Sentences with mi or sina as the subject
In Toki Pona there is no form of the verb to be, so, the basic sentence is:
mi pona = I am good
sina suli = You are tall
Simply mi or sina and complete the sentence with a verb or adjective.

Sentences without mi or sina as the subject use LI to separate a 3rd person subject from its verb

mi moku > I drink
sina suli > You are tall
ona li suli -> She is tall
ona li moku -> He drinks


ona li lukin = He watchs - He is watching
ona li lukin e pipi = He's watching the spider.
ona moku e kili = He eats fruit





PROVERB
ale li jo e tenpo There is a time for everything
