-vocabulary-
jan- person
pilin- to touch
tomo- structure
In Toki Pona, the object is preceded with 'e'.
The object is something being influenced by the action. For example, in the sentence, 'the man plants the tree,' the tree is the object because it's being planted. The man is the subject as they are the one doing the planting.
so, the order looks something like this: [subject] + [verb] + e + [object]
Here are some examples:
mi moku e moku
I eat food
sina anpa tawa e jan
You bow down towards the person
translate this:
mi jo e moku
sina pilin e moku
sina pali e tomo
I like the structure
You have food
I touch the structure
NOTE: the subject and object forms are the same; mi means both I and me, for example.
