===Usage notes===<br />
The words ''ale'' and {{m|tok|ali}} can be used interchangeably.<br />
<br />
The alternative form ''ali'' was originally introduced by Sonja Lang in 2002 as an equal variant of ''ale'', following feedback that the word {{m|tok|ala}} is pronounced similarly to ''ale'' in some accents. ''ali'' became the most common form for a while until the mid-2010s. As of the early 2020s, ''ale'' is significantly more commonly used than ''ali''.<br />
<br />
In ''lipu Linku'', a Toki Pona dictionary, the word ''ale'' is classified as "core" vocabulary, and ''ali'' is classified as an "uncommon" word, based on them being used by 93% and 32% of Toki Pona speakers respectively, according to a poll from October 2024.<br />
