(tentatively) in gomilego =
Bon caca, ju.
/bon ka.ka ju/
good shit, you
"Good shit to you."
Gomilego - being a slangy, polyglot "mutant creole" from the mean streets
of a poly-/hyper-cultural future (late 21st-early 22nd CE) - this greeting is
a take on the popular phrase "Shit Happens!":
Caca sempa eveni!
/ka.ka sem.pa eveni/
shit NONP happen/happening
^- NONP = nonpunctual aspect ... indicates a durative, habitual, or
iterative aspect and is indifferent to the nonpast-past distinction.
_Sempa_ evolved from _semper_/_sempre_, "always".
That's all for now...
