Prononciation et ordre des mots
Toki pona utilise 120 mots et 92 syllabes. Les syllabes, formées à partir de 14 lettres de l'alphabet (j, k, l, m, n, p, s, t, w et a, e, i, o, u), sont faciles à prononcer pour un francophone. Tous les mots de la langue s’écrivent en lettres minuscules, même en début de phrase. Les lettres se prononcent comme en français avec quelques différences : le j se prononce comme le y dans « yoyo »; le e se prononce « é » ou « è » mais pas « euh »; u se prononce « ou ». L’accent est toujours sur la première syllabe du mot.
Comme il y a très peu de mots en toki pona, la plupart des mots ont plusieurs sens. Leur fonction (sujet, verbe, complément, …) est définie par leur position dans la phrase et leur signification est précisée par le contexte.
Pas d'accords ni de temps
toki pona ne marque pas le temps, le genre ni le nombre. On ne fait donc jamais de fautes d'accords !
Particules simples
"li" introduit le(s) prédicat(s)
Quand le sujet de la phrase n'est ni mi ni sina, on intercale la particule li entre sujet et le verbe.
- ona li pona. = C’est bon.
- mi tawa. = Je vais.
- soweli li moku li lape. = Les animaux mangent et dorment / l'animal mange et dort
"e" marque les compléments d'objets directs
- mi moku e telo. = Je bois de l'eau.
- ona li lukin e mi e sina. = Ils nous regardent, toi et moi.
"en" introduit de nouveaux sujets
- mi en sina li toki. = Toi et moi parlons.
"taso" est utilisé au début de la phrase pour signifier "Mais..."
- mi wile e moku. taso sina jo e ona. = Je veux la nourriture, mais tu l'as.
Les prépositions viennent avant les compléments
- mi lon tomo. = Je suis à la maison.
- mi toki kepeken ilo. = Je parle en utilisant l’outil.
- ona li pana e moku tawa soweli. = Elle a donné de la nourriture à l’animal.
- sina sama mama sina. = Tu es comme tes parents.
- mi pilin pona tan ni. = Je me sens bien pour ça.
Les propositions ne s'emboîtent pas
ni: peut être utilisé pour les connecter.
- mi wile e ni: sina pana e sona tawa mi. = Je veux que tu m’apprennes. (Je veux ça: tu m’apprends.)
- ona li kute tan ni: sina toki. = Ils écoutent parce que tu parles. (Ils écoutent à cause de ça: tu parles.)
Tous les modificateurs viennent après ce qu'ils modifient
- tomo tawa = bâtiment mobile (une automobile)
- soweli lili = petit animal
- ona li sitelen pona. = Il écrit bien.
- ma tomo = terre de maisons (ville)
- tomo jan = la maison d'une personne
- nimi mi (li Walé) = mon nom (est Walé)
"pi" regroupe les modificateurs
- tomo telo nasa = une salle étrange d’eau (une étrange salle de bain)
- tomo pi telo nasa = une salle d'eau étrange (un bar)
Les verbes auxiliaires viennent avant le verbe
- mi ken toki. = Je peux parler.
- mi wile lape. = Je veux/J’ai besoin de dormir.
- ona li awen tawa. = Il continue.
- mi kama sona toki pona. = J’apprends à parler bien/simplement. (J’apprends à parler toki pona.)
- ona li lukin kama jo e ona. = Il essaie de l’obtenir.
"seme" remplace l'information inconnue dans une question
- ni li seme? = Qu'est-ce que c'est?
- toki! sina pilin seme? = Salut! Comment vous sentez-vous? (Comment allez-vous?)
- jan seme li lon? = Qui est là?
- sina tan ma seme? = D'où êtes-vous?
- sina kama sona kepeken nasin seme? = Comment as tu appris? (…avec quelle méthode?)
Les questions Oui / non se forment avec ...[verbe] "ala" [verbe]? ...
- sina sona ala sona e toki pona? = Connaissez-vous le toki pona?
Répète le verbe pour dire oui ou ala pour non:
- sona = oui (Je le connais);
- ala = non
... ou avec "anu seme?"
- sina sona e toki Kanse anu seme? = Connaissez-vous le français?
"ala" est utilisé pour nier les phrases
- ona li suli ala. = Ce n'est pas grand/important
- mi sona ala. = Je ne sais/comprends pas
"o" indique le vocatif, les souhaits les ordres.
Les ordres :
- o kama sona e toki pona. = Apprends toki pona.
- mi o tawa. = Allons-y.
- jan ale o kute! = Tout le monde, écoutez!
Le vocatif:
- jan Sonja o, sina pona. = Sonja, t’es bonne.
Les souhaits:
- ale o pona. = Que tout soit bon.
"la" ajoute un contexte
Heure ou lieu
- tenpo suno ni la mi pali = Aujourd'hui, je travaille.
- tomo mi la mi lape = Dans ma chambre, je dors.
Conditionnel
- sina pali la sina kama jo e mani. = Si vous travaillez, vous obtenez de l'argent.
- telo li kama tan sewi la mi tawa ala. = Si l'eau vient du ciel (il pleut), je ne vais pas.

Tokipona permet de s’exprimer à l’oral comme à l’écrit, mais aussi en utilisant le langage des signes. J’ai tout de suite été séduit par son approche minimaliste : 120 mots, 14 consonnes et voyelles. La prononciation est très simple, similaire à l’espagnol, bien moins compliquée que celle de l’anglais ou du français.
Les neuf consonnes, dures : j · k · l · m · n · p · s · t · w, seule la première ne se prononce pas comme en français, j valant la semi-consonne y comme dans «yeux».
Les cinq voyelles: a · e · i · o · u, la voyelle e se prononce è, et u se prononce comme le “ou” français.
Certaines combinaisons, ji, ju, ti, wo et wu, ne sont pas utilisées.
Au fil des années, ils s’est développé une communauté très active autour de cette langue construite qu’il me tarde de continuer à découvrir. J’apprécie particulièrement le caractère ambiguë de la langue qui lui confère une dimension poétique que l’on peut retrouver par exemple dans la composition de haïkus.
A l’écrit, au delà de l’utilisation des consonnes et voyelles, il est possible d’utiliser des hiéroglyphes. Plusieurs familles sont disponibles, dont celle créée par l’inventeur de la langue dont voici la table officielle (sitelen pona

Que la force soit avec toi.
J'hésite sur la traduction et pose la question sur le canal Discord: faut-il utiliser wawa o poka sina
ou o wawa poka sina
?
- wawa → force
- o → (forme de l'impératif, le souhait)
- poka → à coté
- sina → toi / vous / tu
Selon Discord, la forme o wawa poka sina
est incorrecte, car pour exprimer le souhait ou la volonté, on emploie bien o
, mais selon la forme : (sujet) o (prédicat) et poka
ne peut être utilisé car n’est pas une préposition.
On préféra utiliser :
wawa o lon sina.
/ lon → situé à, présent at, existant à, réel, vrai, existant.wawa o insa sina.
/ insa → centre, contenant, à l'intérieur, entre, organe interne, estomac.mi wile e ni: wawa li lon sina.
/ mi→ je, moi, nous / wile → devoir, avoir besoin, exiger, vouloir, souhaiter / e → (introduit le COD) / ni → ceci, cela / li → (conteneur de parenthèse, lie lon+sina)
