Line 1: {{nimi \| PoS =particle▼ ~~\|sp=N - sitelen pona tan lipu pu pi toki Epelanto.png~~ ▲\|PoS=particle }} '''{{tp\|n}}''' is an [[interjection]] and {{tp\|[[nimi ~~sin~~ku suli]]}} used to represent any {{w\|Filler (linguistics)\|filler word}} or {{wpw\|Humming\|humming sound}}, ~~like~~such as "um", "mmm", or "hmm". It is often used to indicate {{wp\|Speech disfluency#Thoughtful absorption\|being absorbed in thoughts}}, recognition, or agreement. {{tp\|n}} is frequently written with multiple letters (e.g. "{{tp\|nnn...}}") to indicate a drawn out sound. It is often used to indicate {{w\|Speech disfluency#Thoughtful absorption\|being absorbed in thoughts}}, recognition, or agreement. {{tp\|n}} is frequently written with multiple letters (e.g. "{{tp\|nnn...}}") to indicate a drawn out sound. ==Etymology== The word {{tp\|n}} was coined by {{tok\|kala kala}}.<ref>{{cite ku\|24}}</ref>{{better source needed}}{{when?}} ==Pronunciation== The word {{tp\|n}} violates Toki Pona's strict [[phonotactics]]. Speakers still accept this because they may consider it easy to pronounce or technically not a word in the first place but an {{wpw\|onomatopoeia}}. {{tp\|n}} does not have to be pronounced {{IPA\|/n/}} but can stand in for any hum or nasal sound, regardless of phonotactics. Some compare the word {{tp\|n}} to the [[coda nasal]]. ==Definitions== ==={{tp\|ku}}=== For {{ku\|en}}, respondents in {{tp\|[[ma pona pi toki pona]]}} translated these English words as {{tp\|n}}:<ref>{{cite ku\|292}}</ref> {{ku data}} =={{tp\|sitelen pona}}== The {{tp\|[[sitelen pona]]}} glyph for {{tp\|n}} ({{UCSUR char\|{{codepoint\|n}}}}) is composed of the [[Radicals\|punctuation stem]] and the lowercase Latin letter n. The glyph is sometimes drawn without the letter's left stem ({{sps\|n\|font="nasin nanpa"}}), making the lower part look just like the glyph for {{tp\|[[nena]]}}. The punctuation stem can be drawn upright ({{sps\|1=<span style="font-feature-settings:'ss16';">n</span>\|font="sitelen seli kiwen asuki"}}) or at a diagonal ({{sps\|1=<span style="font-feature-settings:'ss17';">n</span>\|font="sitelen seli kiwen asuki"}}).
