Line 3:
Toki Pona is not perfectly [[Minimalism|minimalist]], so many words can be reformulated with other words or grammatical expressions. For {{tp|jo}}, alternative expressions can be found easily and describe the immediate situation more clearly.
Many [[Tokiponists]] view {{tp|jo}} as a [[calque]] of the English word "have".
A subset of {{tp|jo}}n't reduces the amount of situations in which {{tp|jo}} would be used. In contrast, {{lipu pu|en}} is very broad in its usage of {{tp|jo}}.
