These are the final 10 official words in toki pona. They all function in the
|
||
|
|
same way as other words mentioned before, with one exception.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## taso
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The word "taso" can be used as a regular adjective to mean "only" or "just":
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> mi li lon tomo ni. -- I'm in this house.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> mi taso li lon tomo ni. -- Only I'm in this house.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> kulupu ona li jo e jan tu taso. -- Their community only has two people.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> mi pali taso. -- I was only working.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But, when added at the beginning of a sentence, it means "but" or "however":
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> taso, tenpo kama li wile ala ante. -- But, the future refused to change.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
