In Kélen:
hi héja pa análne anpóñña hi wá ñarra á mararóñón;
hi...hi if...then
héja aspect marker for future and ought/should
pa relational whole:part
análne happiness (the whole)
anpóñña finding (the part)
wá aspect marker for negative
ñarra relational for action with a 2p.sg agent
á marker renames the agent
mararóñón seeker
If will be happiness (its) finding, then you (should) not act on it
as seeker.
