▲== Corrections and commentary ==
▲Many of these corrections have been collected by ijo Son - thanks!
▲=== Day 2 - Sentence structure ===
* {{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]].
* {{tp|[[li]]}} does not mean "is". {{tp|li}} is a particle that comes before a [[predicate]] in a [[sentence]].
===
* {{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.
* While {{tp|nasa}} is [[Dictionary (pu)|defined]] in ''[[Toki Pona: The Language of Good]]'' as "stupid", that meaning is
===
* {{tp|[[pi]]}} does not mean "of". It only rebrackets adjective phrases. See {{tp|[[pi]]}}.

* {{tp|akesi}}
===
* {{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".
===
* {{tp|[[a]]}} does not mean "so". It is
* jan Misali repeated {{tp|len}} here.
===
* {{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]].
