see
kelé
want
lendrá.
enter
The people I am looking at want to enter (the house).
Spanish: La gente que estoy mirando quiere entrar.
Comment:
Here, the ma pluralizer is not an obligatory element. Thus hende i ta miná kelé lendrá could be used to express the same thing (context would clarify the plural meaning). Stative kelé could not take progressive ta. Thus ta kelé is ungrammatical.
