A '''part of speech''' is a category of words that have {{w|Grammar|grammatical}} properties. The following classification for [[Toki Pona]] was first proposed by {{w|Reddit}} user u/pisceyo ({{tok|kala kala}}),<ref>{{tok|kalacite kala}} [u/pisceyo] (8 October 2019).

;[[preposition]]
:A [[content word]] that can introduce a prepositional phrase when other content words follow it. 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]]
;[[Preverb|pre-verb <span style="font-weight:normal;">or</span> preverb]]
:A [[content word]] that can act as an auxiliary verb when 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]]
:A [[content word]] that canexpresses acta as anumeric numeralvalue. Its number sense may have a different meaning from its general content word sense. In a well-known [[number system]], adjacent numbers are added up instead of acting as [[modifier]]s.
;[[semiparticle]]
:A type of word that acts like a [[particle]], but has [[semantic (value)|semantic value]] (meaning) or can also be used as a [[content word]].
;[[interjection]]
:A type of word or phrase that is used outside of a full [[sentence]], as an exclamation or [[phatic expression]].
