Re: la phrases
Yesterday I was asking this on the Toki Pona Facebook page: toki! I remember Sonja answering in a FB group (this one, I presume) that she uses la-phrases starting with a preposition, e.g. "tan seme la". Can someone confirm (and perhaps provide a link to that post), please? Sonja replied: Y...

Re: la phrases
toki! I din't wrote that you can transfer any la phrase to a prepositional object with lon. We saw that a noun or pronoun start a la phrase normally.

Re: toki!
I'm not using my own grammar. I try to use logic to fill the gabs. ;-) pona! toki! Either it works only with "lon" and "tan seme la" stands for "lon tan seme?", which is always replaced by "tan seme?" OR you can put "prepositional objects" in front ...
