Notes:
li is used before the subject if it is not mi ("Me/I") or sina ("you")
The descriptors goes after the word, so ma suli ("Place good") NOT suli ma ("Good place")
e is used only for objects the sentence is directly affecting, mi wile e moku ("I want the food") is incorrect, the e isn't needed for
"A B" means "A of type B", and "A B C" means "(A of type B) of type C.". The parenthesis are redrawn using the word pi meaning "of".
pi means of, it's used to distict word like "The important book of large"
A la B means B happens when A happens. Cause and affect. La is also used sometimes as [context] la [main clause] or "In the context of A, B"
Yes/no questions are formed by doubling the sentence's verb, with the word ala in the middle. To respond "yes", you repeat the verb, and to respond "no", you repear the verb followed by ala.
To make a command replace li with o.
Use en in the case of multiple subjects.
FINAL RULE OF TOKI PONA: If you don't know how to say something just make something up and hope the person knows what you're trying to convey.

Synonyms:
ale : ali
a : kin
lukin : oko
namako : sin
