Many of these corrections have been collected bythanks to {{tok|ijo Son - thanks!}}.▼
 
===Day 2 – Sentence structure===
▲== Corrections and commentary ==
* ''{{tp|jan ike''}} doesn't always mean "enemy". It can also only mean "enemy" if it's a person, because of the ''{{tp|jan''}}. See [[Lexicalization]].▼
▲Many of these corrections have been collected by ijo Son - thanks!
* ''{{tp|[[li]]''}} does not mean "is". ''{{tp|li''}} is a particle that comes before a [[predicate]] in a [[sentence]].▼
 
=== Day 2 - Sentence3 structure– {{tok|e}}===
* ''{{tp|mi wile e moku''}} is not incorrect. ''{{tp|moku''}} can be a direct object in this sentence. ''{{tp|mi wile moku''}} means "I want to eat", but ''{{tp|mi wile e moku''}} means "I want food". They are roughly the same. There could be a distinction if you want food for some other purpose than to eat it.▼
▲* ''jan ike'' doesn't always mean "enemy". It can also only mean "enemy" if it's a person, because of the ''jan''. See [[Lexicalization]].
* While ''{{tp|nasa''}} is [[Toki Pona Dictionary (pu)|defined]] in ''[[Toki Pona: The Language of Good]]'' as "stupid", that meaning is nocurrently longer accepted or understoodconsidered by the community due to be {{wp|ableismableist}} and no longer accepted or understood, and has been replaced with "silly" as of ''[[Toki Pona Dictionary]]'' for this reason.{{cite See [//linku.la/?q=nasa ''nasa''] on [[lipu Linku]].ku|13}}▼
▲* ''[[li]]'' does not mean "is". ''li'' is a particle that comes before a [[predicate]] in a [[sentence]].
 
=== Day 3 -4 e– Adjectives===
* ''{{tp|[[pi]]''}} does not mean "of". It only rebrackets adjective phrases. See ''{{tp|[[pi]]''}}.▼
▲* ''mi wile e moku'' is not incorrect. ''moku'' can be a direct object in this sentence. ''mi wile moku'' means "I want to eat", but ''mi wile e moku'' means "I want food". They are roughly the same. There could be a distinction if you want food for some other purpose than to eat it.
▲* While ''nasa'' is [[Toki Pona Dictionary (pu)|defined]] in ''[[Toki Pona: The Language of Good]]'' as "stupid", that meaning is no longer accepted or understood by the community due to {{wp|ableism}}, and has been replaced as of ''[[Toki Pona Dictionary]]'' for this reason. See [//linku.la/?q=nasa ''nasa''] on [[lipu Linku]].
 
=== Day 4 -5 Adjectives– {{tok|la}}===
* In general, <var>A</var> ''{{tp|[[la]]''}} <var>B</var> means "in the context of A, B". This can be used for if-then statements, time-marking, and more, as discussed in the video.▼
▲* ''[[pi]]'' does not mean "of". It only rebrackets adjective phrases. See ''[[pi]]''.
 
=== Day 57 – You -know lanot know===
* Only using {{tp|[[anu]]}} to form questions is debated.
▲* In general, A ''[[la]]'' B means "in the context of A, B". This can be used for if-then statements, time-marking, and more, as discussed in the video.
 
=== Day 8 -– On addressing ===
* You don't have to avoid having your name sounding like an official word if you don't want to. Some speakers' names are completely made of common (non-proper) nouns, anyway.
* ''{{tp|akesi'' really only}} means "reptile" or "amphibian", which is reflected in the ''[[Toki Pona Dictionary]]''.
 
=== Day 9 -– Adpositions ===
* ''{{tp|anpa''}} can also mean "bottom" or "area below". ''{{tp|lon anpa''}} is used much more commonly than ''{{tp|lon noka''}} for below. ''{{tp|lon noka''}} can specifically mean "at the foot of; resting at the same level as the lowest part". If ''{{tp|lon anpa''}} is contrasted, it would mean "completely underneath the lowest part".
 
=== Day 11 -– Full of eels ===
* ''{{tp|[[a]]''}} does not mean "so". It is just a [[particle]] used for emphasis and emotion. It can be used in a similar way to "so", but it has no [[semantic (value)|meaning]]; it's just emphasis.
* jan Misali repeated ''{{tp|len''}} here. replaceReplace ''{{tp|len''}} with ''{{tp|supa''}}, meaning "flat (horizontal) surface" (e.g. furniture).
 
=== Day 12 -– Final day ===
* ''{{tp|kin''}}, ''{{tp|oko''}}, and ''{{tp|namako''}} are usually not the exact same as ''{{tp|a''}}, ''{{tp|lukin''}}, and ''{{tp|sin''}} respectively. You don't have to know the exact differences between them, but know that they are often not interchangeable. When in doubt, use ''{{tp|a''}}, ''{{tp|lukin''}}, and ''{{tp|sin''}}. See [[Synonyms]].
