A partial wordlist. I'm still not ready to do this properly, but I'll start.


ním ákulkót nát biggest diff from tp notes
li (introduces a verb phrase and asserts that it's being done by the subject) tok li
"S is done by something that also does O" tok li it can be used as a content word this way
"S is me (at/to O)" tok mi You still have to say li when you use mi as the subject. e.g. li li dòk as rather than mi toki
e (introduces an object of a verb just said) tok e e is not needed if you're using an immediate object.
è "S happens to O" tok e it can be used as a content word
dòk "S says O" tok toki
"S does this to O", "S is this to O" tok ni
bòn "S is good to O" tok pona no need for tawa for O
à "S is special (about O)" tok a a general-purpose end-of-sentence particle, that can describe content-words the way it describes sentences
jàn "S is human (to O)" tok jan
zìna "S is you (to O)" tok sina
la in the context of S, O happens
in the context of S, O happens
lòn S is at/in/on O
zòn S knows O
mùt S is many things (that do O)
dàu S goes to O
pi a word that groups together the words after it. The whole group is treated like a single word grammatically. The group runs until the end of the sentence, or the next "li", "e", "unu" or connective.
ip a word that closes off a noun phrase or verb phrase. "pi" opens them and "ip" closes them.
ìke S is bad to O, S is complicated, S makes complications for O
dèm S is a time, a time for O
zèm What is S doing to O? this word is used to make questions
wìl S wants O, S wants to do O
nɒ̀ S is that to O
o a vocative particle. e.g. "kál o!" can be used to call to a fish
ò S is you to O, and I want S's attention
os o and os are separate words in kót wàwa gentle imperative. os gàmní = please come here
òs I want S to do O; S should do O
gàm S comes to O, S begins to do O, S increasingly does O
dàs S is everything, despite O
S is a land, the homeland of O
