=== Question === How could I say?: {| class="wikitable" |- | | “Someone is talking.” | | | | as in “A person is talking.” |- | | “The tree is big.” | | | style="border-top:none;" | |- | | “The bird is going.” | | | style="border-top:none;" | ''dàu'' = “go” |} If you add an extra “li VP”, the subject does that verb phrase too. {| class="wikitable" |- | | ján li dàu li dòk. | | “The person is walking and talking.” | | |- | | wàs li dàu li mòk pípi. | | “The bird is going and eating insects.” | style="border-top:none;" | e.g. It might be flying and eating them out of the air. |- | | mì. | | “It’s me.” | style="border-top:none;" | < tok ''mi,'' ult. < en ''me'' |- | | mí li dàu. | | “I go.” | style="border-top:none;" | |- | | mí li gàm. li lùki. li jò. | | “I come. I see. I have it.” | style="border-top:none;" | |- | | zìna. | | “It’s you.” | style="border-top:none;" | < tok ''sina'' |- | | sína li bòn. | | “You’re good.” | style="border-top:none;" | |} A point of difference from Toki Pona is that Kot Wawa requires mí and sína to be used with li when either of them is used alone as a subject, whereas in Toki Pona doesn’t. e.g. tok “mi tawa,” is equivalent to Kot Wawa “mí li dàu.”
