(1) ca lo nu do nelci mi kei mi nelci do
(2) lo nu do nelci mi zo'u ca ku mi nelci do
(3) do nelci mi .i ca bo mi nelci do
(1) is the closest in meaning, but you need to put "ca" in front of
the subordinate clause. (2) has a slightly different structure, with
the subordinate clause as a topic. (3) is the least wordy and
superficially the most similar, but there is no longer a subordinate
clause, the reference clause is now at the same level as the other
clause.
