A '''part of speech''' is a category of words that have shared [[grammatical]] properties.
While the book {{pu|en}} defined words according to English-like parts of speech, they have always been [[Part-of-speech roles|interchangeable between the roles]] of [[noun]]s, [[verb]]s, and [[adjective]]s. That is, English-style parts of speech mostly only affect words' [[semantic space]]s rather than their grammatical properties, and may be thought of as ''classes'' within a single "[[content word]]" part of speech.
The following classification for [[Toki Pona]] was first proposed on [[r/tokipona]] subreddit by user u/pisceyo ({{tok|kala kala}}),<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/tokipona/comments/df0zbi/toki_pona_analysis_parts_of_speech/|title=Toki Pona Analysis: Parts of Speech|website=Reddit|author={{tok|kala kala}}|username=u/pisceyo|date=2019-10-08}}</ref> and recommended by the {{ku|en}}.<ref>{{cite ku|4–5}}</ref> It is more widely accepted than the previous classification.
