'''{{tp|mi ken ala toki pona e ijo la mi sona ala e ijo}}'''<ref group="lower-alpha">{{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}}: {{sp|mi ken ala toki-pona e ijo la mi sona ala e ijo}}</ref> is a principle about [[circumlocution]] in the [[philosophy]] of [[Toki Pona]]. The phrase means, "'''If I can't express a thing in Toki Pona, I don't understand the thing'''". The design of Toki Pona encourages the speaker to express what they mean. It reveals when one lacks a deep understanding of a word or idea and offers them a chance to learn more and understand the world a bit better.
