The '''personal pronouns''' in [[Toki Pona]] are '''{{tp|mi}}''' (first person), '''{{tp|sina}}''' (second person), and '''{{tp|ona}}''' (third person). Pronouns act like any other [[content word]] when it comes to syntax and number. |

{{Example|[[ijo]] <u>mi</u>| |
{{Example|[[ijo]] <u>mi</u>| |

{{tp|[[ni]]}} ("that") and {{tp|[[seme]]}} ("what") |
{{tp|[[ni]]}} ("that") and {{tp|[[seme]]}} ("what") are also pronouns, as they stand in for a content word or phrase, but they are not personal pronouns. See also [[ona vs ni|{{tp|ona}} vs {{tp|ni}}]]. |
