Yeah, you will be computerly correct if you put {lo terjbe be do} and {lo nanca be li cino}. The longer, the preciser.

But! Is there a shorter way to express the same? Maybe invent a new lujvo for it?

That will turn to express "living-time-interval", which is a transformation of the original meaning, may be expressed as {mivytei}.

Improved conversation:

A: .i ma mivytei fi'o ponse do
B: lo cinomei nanca

1 syllable longer than the previous conversation provided.
