About Semantic Spaces Dictionary
Lipamanka's Semantic Dictionary is a web-based resource for learners and users of the constructed language Toki Pona. Its core offering is a dictionary that describes the full semantic spaces (ranges of meaning) of common Toki Pona words using detailed sentences and paragraphs, rather than only listing matching English concepts, alongside supplementary essays, stories, and language learning materials. The dictionary excludes function words, product-related proper names, and words with insufficient observed usage, and is intended as a descriptive reference rather than a prescriptive authority on correct Toki Pona usage.
