% toki pona page 10 - pi and la
% /dev/urandom
% march 2020
The vocabulary for this page:
| word | meaning | derived from |
|-------|----------------------------------|----------------------------------|
| pi | "of" (groups adjectives) | Tok Pisin "bilong" (of) |
| la | "if/when" (introduces context) | Esperanto "la" (definite article)|
| luka | hand, arm | Serbo-Croatian "ruka" (arm) |
| linja | long flexible object, hair | Finnish "linja" (line) |
| palisa| long solid object, branch, stick | Serbo-Croatian "palica" (rod) |
| selo | outer form, shell, skin, boundary| Esperanto "ŝelo" (skin) |
| sijelo| body, physical state, torso | Serbo-Croatian "tijelo" (body) |
| len | cloth, clothes, layer of privacy | Acadian French "linge" (clothing)|
| lete | cold, raw | Acadian French "frette" (cold) |
| musi | entertaining, artistic, fun, game| Esperanto "amuzi" (have fun) |
Time to introduce two another particles in this language: "pi" and "la".
## pi
The word "pi" works by grouping several adjectives together. Normally, all
adjectives in a phrase apply to the first word.
For example:
> jan wawa -- strong person
> jan wawa ala -- no strong people
If you need to say "weak people", you need to negate "wawa", but not "jan".
That's where "pi" comes in handy:
> jan pi wawa ala -- weak person/people ("of no strength")
It is also useful for phrases that use unofficial words.
> ma tomo Wasintan li ma tomo lawa pi ma Mewika. -- (the city of) Washington is
> the capital ("main city") of the United States.
## la
The word "la" allows to combine two sentences to form conditions and introduce
context.
> [sentence A] la [sentence B].
This translates to something like:
> If [sentence A], then [sentence B].
## Dialectal differences
> %info%
> This part of the document describes how certain toki pona courses differ in
> explaining certain ideas.
The official book, the "o kama sona e toki pona!" course and my personal style
differ on how to place punctuation in sentences that use "la".
The official book sometimes uses a comma before "la" and sometimes uses no
punctuation.
The online course doesn't use any punctuation.
I personally prefer using the comma after "la".

later pages.
