More accurately, "I'm my fuckbuddy's friend", and "I am a loving
friend", not that it particularly makes a difference in most contexts--but
"pendo" could theoretically also cover someone acting like your friend 
even though you hate their guts.

> ko malype'o mi - Fuck me, dammit
> ko malypendo mi - [same]
Not malgletu?
no'i Both of those would be better expressed using attitudinals, e.g.

le'o ro'u ko gletu mi
[aggresive] [sexual] Fuck me!

or

.o'onai ko .ionai gletu mi
[anger] [you-imperative] [disrespect] fuck me
Fuck me, you whore!


Also, don't go ovorboard with the y-hyphen; as far as I know, "pampendo",
"cinprami", etc. are fine without it.
