THIS SITE IS OUTDATEDThis page was made by two_squared (jan Tu Leko) in carrd.co. (find out more info about him on squared.straw.page. If I ever get a place to publish Toki Pawole stuff to the internet, then all this info will probably move somewhere else.Toki Pawole is my conlang and tokiponido, made for international communication. Sources for how to learn it are found here. Another carrd.co source is found here. (This is still under construction).tana intawo means “semantic space” in Toki Pawole. To quote lipamanka, “A semantic space, put simply, is the range of all possible meanings of a word. This dictionary serves to describe these semantic spaces and name aspects that concepts within the same semantic space all have in common.” This website is dedicated to writing down the various and extensive meanings of Toki Pawole words.

This site has the semantic spaces of all content words, that is words that actually have semantic spaces and meaning. The ones without semantic spaces are a, anu, e, eki, en, eta, i, in, ini, ipi, ita, ken, ki, kin, la, li, n, o, pi, pili, pin, se, seme, tan, taso, te and u. I’ll go over how they’re used grammatically at the end. Without further ado, let’s get on with it.

Aaja - aja's semantic space includes life. It is used to describe and life experiences, but also life as in animacy, as for what counts Frankenstein's monster could be described as aja, despite not coming about by natural processes. aja as a noun would probably mean "alive things," such as plants, bacteria, animals, fungi and the like.ajela - ajela means highest, and that's pretty much it. You need other words to specify the medium though, numelo ajela would mean "highest number". wawa ajela would mean highest power. It is a preposition.ajuta - ajuta means aid. In math it would mean add. The type of aid could be medical, psychological, physical, numeric or spiritual. It even counts help that you don’t know is help at the moment, like a mentor gently nudging you on the right path is ajuta. If you don't understand your math problem and your teacher explains it again but you still don't get any of it, that wouldn't be ajuta. Like most verbs, ajuta has to be completed successfully to count, otherwise it's just ajuta kokan.aketi - aketi are reptiles and amphibians, depictions of them and related things. They usually have 4 legs, are cold blooded, lay eggs, are cold to the touch, either have long tails or no tails at all, and are known for their special tongues. Frog and Toad, a wooden carving of a salamander, a dragon, dinosaurs and a basilisk lizard are examples of aketi.alani - alani means orange. The color, not the fruit, but can refer to the fruit with enough context. #ff8800 (alani) is a prime example of alani. The lines are blurry, but generally something with less green than red and WAY less blue than green could be considered alani, like #fd8312 (alani). Mind that the red value / saturation has to be up high, or it might end up looking like kapesi.alasa - means to hunt, forage, look for, or chase. With alasa there's a goal involved, something you are tending towards, otherwise you're just alasa waso jesen. You can alasa your dreams. But you probably can’t alasa mice out of your house, because you’re not looking to catch or have the mice. weka or tawa would be more appropriate. You could alasa for kili. A government wide search for your glasses could be considered an alasa.ale - ale means all of a group. You could eat sota ale, which means all the mushrooms, but it always implies that there was a finite amount of mushrooms to eat. kulupu ale could be all of your book club. You could say you're talili e numelo ale, but that implies there's a finite amount of numbers to count. For an unbounded number, see pawole.alen - alen means beyond, more than. In a figurative sense, it could mean beyond or yonder spatialy, as in “She is beyond that tree.” It doesn’t necessarily mean this though, as alen is a comparative preposition, so it needs a quality like pona and a particle like se to work. ijo ni li pona alen se pan ni.ami - ami means friend. It could be a best friend, an acquaintance, anything who has a platonic connection to you. Doesn’t even have to be human. It can even be used to describe a friendship. ami lili can be a little friendship, maybe a distant one, or one that’s just starting to bud.anku - anku deals with fate and destiny. It has 2 parts. The first part is your anku is your fate, what you will do and where you’ll end up.

It can be used to describe a lower part of something, or to describe that something is low in relation to something else. The bottom of a table would be anpa. The basement would be anpa. The monster under your bed would be anpa.ante - ante means different. ante implies that something is different to something else. If something is different in general, it is more nasa “strange”. There has to be some sort of context. If you and your partner have 6 yellow baby chickens and a 7th spotted one, you could call that chick waso ante. It can also be used as a comparative. on li ante se si. ante can also be used to mean against, as in a competing team.anwanu - anwanu can refer to cold or anything that is cold. It can refer to snow, wind chill or a thermos. It can also describe cold, as in freezing or chilly. If you get abstract it can be used to represent emotional cold.apeja - apeja is the opposite of atali. describes ostracization, anxiety and shame. The feeling of not being good enough is apeja, because it’s caused by society. apeja is a societal word. If the reason you are sad is because of other outside standards, then it is apeja. The shame people put on you is also mainly apeja. Infamy and ingnominy is apeja.asuma - asuma refers to the east cardinal direction and things in the east. Toki Pawole words are always relative, so a person in Japan would consider Canada to be asuma. Things moving east can be moving ki asuma, and things moving west can be tan asuma.atali - atali is the opposite of apeja. If something gets given social admiration or is highly praised, it is atali. atali can be used to describe honor too. jan atali could be a highly respected person.awen - awen is unchanging.

This is kinda contradictory, but to specify you could always say tawa no. Being frozen in place is awen.

Eeko - eko just means 100. It's used as a prefix for number phrases. That's pretty much it.ekute - ekute means ear, and related abilities. It can mean to hear or listen, but not necessarily listen as in obey or to pay attention to. It primarily refers to the ear.enujo - enujo refers to being bored or annoyed.

It usually means after in a temporal sense, but it can also mean it in a linear sense, as in “That man is after you in line.” jan ni li epelen koli se sina.epiku - epiku would be considered an interjection and not really a content word, but it does have meaning outside of being an interjection. epiku is similar to epic, or amazing. As with everything, it means in your general opinion, but epiku is more of a group thing. Calling DND epiku wouldn’t go by well around the basketball jocks, unless they thing DND is epiku too.esa - esa refers to 6, and that’s pretty much it. It can be used as a digit in numbers.eto - eto means system, more specifically a system where many things feed into less things, and less things feed into even more things, like a network. “Feed into” can be replaced with “are subordinate to,” “grab from,” or “mimic.” eto can also be used to describe linear systems, like assembly lines.

It has to exist to be ijo. ijo isn’t very specific though, so using something else that’s more precise would be better.ike - ike means bad, or negative. ike generally can be used to describe negative things, but there’s always the possibility to use more specific words, like jaki, jatila, or jesen. ike is the opposite of pona. Toki Pawole is always formatted in your general opinion, so a person could be ike to you, but ami to someone else.ilo - ilo means tool, or anything used as a means to something. It can describe technology, (hammer, wheel, wedge, latch), but remember, you can also frame stuff as something else.

Your passport could be an ilo to get to Singapore.imeni - imeni means singing or music. There’s a lot of discourse on what counts as music, but with Toki Pawole’s subjective philosophy, if you think it’s music, it’s imeni. Whale noise could be imeni. Personally I don’t see it that way. Singing or making music also counts as imeni.inkatan - inkatan means to remember. Reminiscing is inkatan. Thinking about that test you failed is inkatan.

Luggage can jo your clothes, it can contain them. I don’t jo a sister though, I jo a nata pata, a sibling relationship. jo doesn’t mean “have” in that permanent sense.

Make sure you only use similar interpretations for jo per sentence.jojosin - jojosin refers to pillars, pencils and other things that are vaugly stick shaped. If it is at least 3 times longer than it is thick, and also doesn’t bend or isn’t really flexible, it’s probably jojosin. It depends on what the purpose is.
