The main '''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|mi [[mute]]|we<ref>Just like with regular [[noun]]s, {{tp|mute}} is generally reserved for three or more individuals. If "we" refers to two people it is more common to use {{tp|mi tu}} or just {{tp|mi}} instead of {{tp|mi mute}}.</ref>}}
|{{Example|mi [[mute]]|we}}
|{{Example|mi [[ale]]|we all}}

{{tp|[[ni]]}} ("that") and {{tp|[[seme]]}} ("what") canare also be called 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}}]].
