'''{{tp|n}}''' is an [[interjection]] and {{tp|[[nimi sin]]}} used to represent any {{w|Filler (linguistics)|filler word}} or {{wpw|Humming|humming sound}}, like "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.

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]].
