The semantic space of {{tp|olin}} does not map completely to the English concept of the word ''love'' and ''like''. Notably, according to many speakers, {{tp|olin}} does not include a inclination towards something; this is expressed with a longer phrase, such as {{tp|[ni] li pona tawa mi}} ("[this] is good towards me") or {{tp|mi la [ni] li pona}} ("for me, [this] is good"). Others are less restrictive. For example, {{tok|[[jan Misali]]}} says to "go ahead and use {{tok|olin}} for whatever type of love you want."<ref>[[jan Misali's thoughts on words#olin|{{tok|jan Misali}}'s thoughts on words, {{tp|olin}}.]]</ref> Notably, in {{pu}}, {{tok|[[jan Sonja]]}}
{{Example
