You could try something like:
positive | negative
---------------------------------------------------------
some | tatao - sometimes | natao - never
---------------------------------------------------------
all | iltao - always | niltao - not always
---------------------------------------------------------
"Sometimes" and "not always" are close in meaning, though the latter sounds
more negative.
