Line 8:
"a" at the beginning of the sentence can mean "ah" or "oh":
; a ni li pona tawa mi
"a" at the end can emphasize the whole sentence.
; ni li pona tawa mi a
"a" directly after a word can emphasize that word.
; ni li pona a tawa mi
It typically applies to the word immediately before it:
; ona a li pali
; ona li pali a e tomo : He ''builds'' a house
; ona li pali e tomo a : They build a ''house''
You can use it at the end of a sentence to basically emphasise the entire sentence (like an exclamation mark):
; ni li pona a : That is great!!!
You can use it on its own or in front of sentences to just add any number of unspecified emotional exclamations:
; a, mi sona : Oh, ok, I understand
; a pakala : Aw crap
