| ==Basic sentence structure==
| | ''toki pona enhanced (aka TPE)'' is a dialect of [[toki pona]] that formalizes the syntax and the lexicon of toki pona employing advances in the science of Lojban. |
| Main toki pona words are verbs like
| |
| :"soweli" = to be an animal
| |
| :"moku" = to eat (something)
| |
| {{mupli|soweli li moku<br>''A mouse eats.''}}
| |
| The verb before the particle "li" becomes a noun. The verb after "li" remains a verb.
| |
|
| |
|
| toki pona enhanced also have words that act only as nouns. Those are pronouns:
| | ==[[Image:tpe.png|36px|link=]] [https://jbotcan.org/tokipona/enhanced/ Read about toki pona enhanced]== |
| :"mi" = I
| |
| :"sina" = you
| |
| :"ona" = he, she, they, it | |
| :"ni" = this
| |
| Thus they don't require "li" to separate them from the forthcoming verb:
| |
| {{mupli|mi moku<br>''I eat.''}}
| |
| | |
| ==Topic and comment==
| |
| A more common sentence have two parts: topc and comment separated with the particle "la":
| |
| {{mupli|soweli li moku la ona kepeken e ijo<br>''When a mouse eats it uses a fork.'' (literally)<br>''A mouse eats using a fork (actual meaning)}}
| |
| :"kepeken" = to use
| |
| "la" is used to express prepositions. In this case the preposition "with" is rephrased in toki pona advanced with the verb.
| |

| |
| The second noun is put after the verb and separated with the particle "e".
| |
| | |
| ==Questions==
| |
| The question verb "seme" is used for asking content questions:
| |
| {{mupli|seme li moku<br>''Who eats?''}}
| |
