'''''nasin kijetesantakalu''''' was an April Fools' Day 2021 joke made by [[jan Sonja]]. In the joke post in [[ma pona pi toki pona]], she wrote: "On this blessed anniversary of ''kijetesantakalu'', I would like to formally clarify that [[en]] is a subject marker that is omitted at the beginning of a sentence. The default and recommended word order in Toki Pona has always been subject–verb–object, but other structures are possible for stylistic effect."
She provided examples of the six word orders in use.
*'''SVO''': mi moku e kili.
*'''SOV''': mi e kili li moku.
*'''VSO''': li moku en mi e kili.
*'''VOS''': li moku e kili en mi.
*'''OVS''': e kili li moku en mi. kili li kama moku tan mi.
*'''OSV''': e kili en mi moku. kili la mi moku e ona.
''nasin kijetesantakalu'' is generally not used among speakers, but some people have adopted it in their own ''nasin''.
