Pronunciation

(Toki Pona) IPA: /mi/

Pronoun

mi

2. mine, ours

Note

mi talks about the speaker. It can also refer to groups that include the speaker. Similarly to sina, when quoting others, it doesn't necessarily refer to the one who is speaking at the moment, and instead refers to the one being quoted. But besides situations like that, mi always includes the speaker.
