===Particles===
The sign PI can be replaced with a brief pause without signing, and the sign for LA can be replaced with a longer pause without signing.<ref>jan Olipija. (9 April 2018). [https://lukapona.blogspot.com/2021/04/nasin-toki-pi-luka-pona-nanpa-tu-la-ni.html {{tp| nasin toki pi luka pona: nanpa tu - la}}] (in Toki Pona). Blogspot.</ref>

===Postpositions===
Unlike Toki Pona, which has [[preposition]]s and [[preverb]]s, {{tp|luka pona}} instead uses postpositions and postverbs.<ref>jan Olipija. (9 April 2018).
