do zo'e mo'ine'i lo vimstizu cu pincyvi'i
You pee something, such that "you pee something" is moving into the toilet.

What does that mean? Is it your pee that's moving into the toilet, or
is it you, or both, since the event includes both you & your pee?

How to keep yourself out of the loo? Aim your pee properly:

do zo'e pe mo'ine'i lo vimstizu cu pincyvi'i
do zo'e pe mo'ine'i pincyvi'i

Or simply:

mo'ine'i pinca
Something is a pee-moving-into.

Command:

mo'ine'i pinca ko
Make yours a pee-moving-into!
