Here is another version of the vocabulary/part of speech matrix. It varies
from the table linked in resp:5 in being based on another versionof the TP
word list that has more complete part of speech categorization.

There are several versions of the Toki Pona word list on the WWW, but as a
help to learning the vocabulary I wanted a big chart that made the parts of
speech obvious. (Bearing in mind that "part of speech" is a more fluid
concept in TP by design.)
However, this chart is going to be peak Toki Pona for me, at least for a
while. Although it is a fascinating language, I can feel it competing for
brain space with Portuguese, which I've only been studying for 2 or 3 months.
Portuguese is a complicated mess like every other natural language, but it
is also ornately beautiful, and is the gateway to a culture and history shared
by more than 220 million people around the world. That's what I want to aim
for.
