Let’s break down “mi pu gleki” word by word.
“Mi” is the first-person singular pronoun, equivalent to “I” in English.
“Pu” is a position tense indicating an event in the past. It doesn’t specify how far in the past.
“Gleki” is a verb that can be roughly translated to English as “is happy.” It does not require a direct object.
So, putting it together, “mi pu gleki” can be translated as “I was happy.” But remember that as originally stated, it doesn’t explicitly clarify how far back in the past this happiness occurred.
