I was reading a descritipn on Tagalog and how it handles being without "to
be" and I realized, I may have translated it wrong. The reason I say this
is because Saalangal follows Tagalog in this resepct (something I thought
was cool)

So, better translations are:

Kunggan yu tal
Reki yu tal

Kunggan yu anlal
Reki yu anlal

They still mean the same things as in the other email I sent on this
topic.
