So {.e'o do pinca fa'a/ne'i/??? le vimstizu} means something rather a lot different (and, in fact, {pinca fa'a le vimstizu} is exactly the problem we had earlier today!). I don't remember how to fix this; help?I think you want "mo'ine'i", but "do pinca" is wrong. It should be "do pincyvi'i" or "do vikmi". "do se pinca" is also true, but doesn't denote the action.
{mo'i ne'i} doesn't work, since it would mean that the event of the baby peeing (for example) is moving, which is not true, as the baby is stationary.
