Vya nga u nai zi bo nyu zyi vyu zyi wi gwa dinggwe weho nyodyei nye lili da.
My plant, of which I've wanted to own its type for twenty-seven years, is getting big now.

Wi Dyenyari do, nai li nyu zyi u dei myegi wege lya ye di. I ndze dzu wi nyoli. Wi matyi do, i li lira.
I got it in January and it was just three little leaves. It didn't do anything at first. In March, it started growing.

Can you see any outdoor plants from inside?

EDIT: Fixed the link because Instagram is fucking stupid and gave me the wrong link that then just takes you to a random "Reel" (i.e. video).

(things experienced by me
having to protect these things
called this earth and plants of this earth and men of this earth,
these things possessed by me possessed by them...)

I experience everything around me
and I must protect it:
this country, its nature, its people.
This bond is a bond of possession;
I possess them as they possess me...
