It’s an experiment to see how minimalist a language can get.  \nThis side describes the entire grammar, the other side contains the entire vocabulary.  \nCheat sheet by blinry, CC0 . [blinry.org/toki-pona-cheat-sheet/](blinry.org/toki-pona-cheat-sheet/)  \nAlphabet  \nToki Pona uses nine consonants (j k l m n p s t w) and five vowels (a e i o u) . Pronounciation doesn’t really matter.  \nBasic sentences  \nThe particle li separates the subject and the verb:  \nsoweli li moku. = The cat is eating.  \njan li lape. = The person is sleeping.  \nThere is no verb “to be”; the part after li can also be a noun or an adjective.  \nkili li moku. = Fruits are food. telo li pona. = Water is good. telo li moku. = Water is a drink. If the subject is mi or sina, the li is always omitted:  \nmi moku. = I eat.  \nsina pona. = You are good.  \nAmbiguity  \nToki Pona has a lot of ambiguity. You’ll often need to know the context to decide what things mean. For example, verbs have no tense:  \nmi moku. = I am eating. / I was eating. / I will be eating.  \nMany words have multiple or general meanings:  \nsoweli = cat / dog / (any land mammal)  \nkili = (any fruit or vegetable)  \nMany words can play the role of a noun, adjective, or verb:  \ntelo = water / wet / to wash pona = good, simple / to fix, to repair  \nNouns have no singular/plural, and no definite/indefinite article:  \nkili = a fruit / the fruit / some fruits / the fruits  \nDirect objects  \nThe particle e separates a direct object from the rest of the sentence:  \nsoweli li moku e telo. = The cat drinks the water.  \nmi telo e soweli. = I’m washing the cat.  \nModifying words  \nWords can be modified by appending other words:  \njan lili = small human = child tomo mi = my house  \npilin pona = to feel good = to be happy  \nNegation  \nTo negate a word, append ala: mi lape ala. = I'm not sleeping. jan ala li toki. = Nobody is talking.  \nQuestions  \nTo ask yes-or-no questions, replace the verb with “(verb) ala (verb)”:  \nsina ken ala ken lape? = Are you able to sleep?  \nsoweli li wile ala wile moku? = Is the cat hungry?  \nAlternatively, append anu seme (”or what”) to the sentence:  \nsina wile uta e mi anu seme? = Do you want to kiss me?  \nTo answer these questions, reply with either “(verb)” or“(verb) ala”.  \nTo ask questions that can’t be answered with yes or no, write a normal sentence and replace the word in question with seme:  \nsina moku e seme? = What are you eating?  \nseme li moku e kili mi? = Who/what ate my fruit?  \nModifying words using pi  \nTo modify an expression with a group of words, separate them with the particle pi. It can often be thought of as “of”. Note the difference:  \ntomo telo nasa = crazy waterhouse = strange bathroom  \ntomo pi telo nasa = house of the crazy water = pub  \njan wawa ala = no strong people jan pi wawa ala = people of notstrong = weak people  \nProviding context using la  \nTo add a context to a sentence, prepend another sentence or expression, followed by la. This often results in a structure like“If (part 1), then (part 2)” or “In the context of (part 1), (part2) .”  \nmi lape la ale li pona. = When I’m asleep, everything is okay.  \nTime  \nYou can use a la-clause to add a temporal context to a sentence:  \ntenpo ni la mi lape. = I am sleeping right now.  \ntenpo kama la mi lape. = I will be sleeping in the future.  \ntenpo pini la mi lape. = I slept in the past.  \nCompound sentences  \nSeparate multiple subjects in a sentence using en:  \nlape en moku li suli. = Sleep and food are important.  \nTo say that the subject does more than one thing, you can use multiple li-clauses:  \npipi li moku li pakala. = The bug eats and destroys.  \nIf there are several direct objects of the same verb, you can use multiple e-clauses:  \nmi moku e kili e telo. = I consume fruit and water.  \nUnofficial words  \nUnofficial words (like names of countries, languages, or people) are capitalized and trea","cbCaiog4hDATi328","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiog4hDATi328","pdf",42999,"English","# Alphabet\n# Basic sentences\n## li particle and \"to be\" omission\n## e particle for direct objects\n# Modifiers and context\n## pi for grouped modifiers\n## la for context and time\n# Negation and questions\n## Negation with ala\n## Yes-or-no questions with ala\n## Open questions with seme\n# Compound sentences and extra word rules\n## en for multiple subjects\n## Capitalization of unofficial words\n# Prepositions and commands","[{\"question\":\"What does the particle li do in Toki Pona sentences?\",\"answer\":\"It separates the subject and the verb.
