Toki Pona has many alleged benefits.
According to {{tok|jan Sonja}} in a 2007 interview, the lack of superfluity in Toki Pona can make it useful for problem-solving: "It helps you see patterns, and how things are connected in different ways". In the same article, Pekka Roponen, working as a psychiatrist in Finland, was studying Toki Pona's therapeutic applications and claimed that "negative thought patterns and cognitions can be transferred and eliminated by simply using the language."<ref>{{cite web|url=//theglobeandmail.com/technology/canadian-has-people-talking-about-lingo-she-created/article20399052|title=Canadian has people talking about lingo she created|author=Roberts, Siobhan|username=|date=July 9, 2007|website={{w|The Globe and Mail}}|publisher=|access-date=2023-12-28|quote=}}</ref>
According to an experiment by Paolo Coluzzi while teaching Italian at the {{wp|University of Malaya}}, Toki Pona can improve speakers' [[circumlocution]] and other communication strategies when learning additional languages. Use of these strategies makes up for unknown or forgotten words and expressions in the unfamiliar language.<ref>Coluzzi, P. (2022).
