However, as [[content word]]s are interchangeable between [[noun]], [[verb]], and [[adjective]] usage, this mostly only affects their [[semantic space]]s and not their grammatical properties.

Its preposition sense may have a different meaning from its general content word sense. In standard Toki Pona, prepositional phrases are not marked with any particle. ;[[preverb]] :A [[content word]] that can ~~act as an auxiliary verb when~~be placed before the main [[verb]] of a [[sentence]] (or before another preverb). Its preverb sense may have a different meaning from its general content word sense. Preverbs generally make distinctions in grammatical mood or aspect. In standard Toki Pona, preverbs are not marked with any particle (see [[Preverb marking]]). ;[[Names\|~~(proper)~~ name <span style="font-weight:normal;">or</span> proper adjective]] :A [[content word]] that represents a name or loanword. In standard Toki Pona, a name is a [[modifier]] that requires a common content word [[Headnouns\|before it]], instead of being a [[proper noun]]. It is specially marked depending on the writing system: [[capital]]ized in {{tp\|[[sitelen Lasina]]}}, written in a cartouche in {{tp\|[[sitelen pona]]}}, and written as syllable glyphs in a cartouche in {{tp\|[[sitelen sitelen]]}}. ;[[number]]
