word order
Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2016 11:31 am
Greetings!
I am learning Toki Pona to help retrain my brain after suffering some cognitive loss. I am taking the online course (with audio) at memrise.com. I also have the official Toki Pona book.
Language has never been my forte and I am currently confused about word order (amongst other things.)
lipu ni li pona --> this book is good
ni li lipu sina --> this is your book
Is there a rule or guideline to specify word order? Would the following sentences be valid? If not, why not?
lipu ni li sina
ni li lipu pona
Any guidance is appreciated.
Cheers,
