<p>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.</p>

<p><span class=sentence>i did this</span> - <span class=sentence>mi ni</span>,<br>

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

<p><span class=subject>subject</span> li <span class=predicate>predicate</span> e <span class=object>direct object</span>

<p><span class=sentence><span class=subject>jan</span> li <span class=predicate>pali</span> e <span class=object>tomo</span></span> - <span class=subject>the people</span> <span class=predicate>are building</span> <span class=object>a house</span></p>

|
<h3 class="title box-title sub-title">~ complex ideas</h3>
|
|
<div class="box box-top">
|
|
<p>when you want to express more complex ideas, you should often split it up into several sentences.</p>
|
|
<p><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.</p>

<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.</p>
