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).

Well, if humans somehow made it onto this world, why not other Earthly species?

As for the word itself, anu-mŋun is literally ‘thing with holes’. It’s a calque of Wēchizaŋkəŋ thēchepkɨ /ˈɹeːɰepkɨ/.
