pali is not a general do like in english. every word in toki pona has

the act of doing built into it when used as a verb.

you use the particle e to indicate who is being affected by the
|
|
subject's action (the predicate)

|

<p>
|
|
when you want to express more complex ideas, you should often split it
|
|
up into several sentences.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="quote">
|
|
<span class="sentence">i saw the person who's building the house</span>
|
|
<br />~ mi lukin e jan. ona li pali e tomo.<br />
|
|
(i saw a person. they were building a house.)
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
you can also use the word ni to refer to an idea from a previous
|
|
sentence, or to indicate you will elaborate on an idea in a future
|
|
sentence. you can also use the word ona similarly, but for words instead
|
|
of ideas.

<h3 class="title box-title sub-title">~ note about punctuation</h3>
|
|
<div class="box">
|
|
<p>toki pona has no defined punctuation. anything is valid</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
often, when using ni to refer to an idea in the next sentence, people
|
|
use a colon, but the colon doesn't add any semantic meaning and it would
|
|
be okay to use a period or a line break or anything else too.
