wi is a marginal content word and an alternate first person pronoun to mi.

Etymology

The word wi is derived from the English word we, meaning "we". It was coined by jan inwin in 2007.^[1]

Semantic space

The semantic space is as any first person exclusive pronoun. It can be used as a modifier to indicate possession over something by the speaker, but not by the target of the message. It does not mark number.

wi li lon insa kulupu

wi li lon insa kulupu

soweli ni li soweli wi

soweli ni li soweli wi

That animal is our dog

sitelen pona

The sitelen pona glyph for wi (wi) is composed of the sitelen pona glyph mi (mi) repeated twice, then reflected horizontally to not be confused with "mi mi" (mi mi). It may represent two right hands pointing inwards (see sitelen pona of mi).
