“This is the way I use Toki Pona.” The first book serves as a snapshot and reference point of one key person’s way of using Toki Pona at one key moment in time. This foundation is paired with the invitation on page 62. “Now the rest depends on you. Go enjoy yourself. Create, play, and be pona!” ”

“ Many people also use prepositions as nouns. For example:
p. 35
I personally use the preposition lon with a very wide meaning. The example mi toki lon toki pona could also be expressed as mi toki kepeken toki pona, and many Toki Pona speakers prefer this way. I also personally use lon when talking ‘about’ something: mi toki lon kili. I'm talking about turnips.
p. 38
For ‘Chinese lady’ (meli Sonko) , many people find it clearer to say meli pi ma Sonko or meli tan ma Sonko or meli pi kulupu Sonko. ”

“ In pu style, the particle li can introduce a new verb for a third person subject, but in the case of mi or sina, one starts a new sentence. This reflects li’s origins as a third person marker. Many people have expanded the use of li to introduce a new verb, even when the subject is mi or sina. ”
