pi: Difference between revisions

The effect is similar to hyphenating [[adjective]]s in English, as described by the {{lipu ku|en}}.<ref name="ku">{{cite ku|8}}</ref> For this reason, {{tp|pi}} needs to be followed by at least two [[content words]]. The particle is not needed if there is only one word following it.

Some dictionaries, most notably the one featured in [[Toki Pona Dictionary (pu)|{{tp|pu}}]], define the word {{tp|pi}} as meaning "of". This is misleading, as most senses of "of" don't translate into {{tp|pi}}. This was acknoledgedacknowledged in the section "[[Notes on lipu pu|Notes on {{tp|lipu pu}}]]" of the {{ku|en}}.<ref name="ku">{{cite ku|8}}</ref>
