===Usage notes===<br />
* In general, the word ''nasa'' has a neutral connotation. Depending on the speaker's sentiment, it may mean ''[[extraordinary]]'', ''[[odd]]'', ''[[unique]]'', or ''[[incomprehensible]]''.<br />
* In the English edition of ''Toki Pona: The Language of Good'', ''nasa'' is partially defined as “foolish, crazy”. Many speakers do not recognize this sense. It was deprecated in ''Toki Pona Dictionary'' in light of a commitment to non-[[ableist]] language.<br />
