Re: I love you
Unfortunately, I found so many ways to say this in Kenna that I've had to spoiler all the grammar details.
Kini asen ninene. ─ formalish, like a profession of love ─ to a man
Nyini asen ninene. ─ formalish, like a profession of love ─ to a woman
Losani asen ninene. ─ formalish, like a profession of love ─ comes across as overly formal, and therefore passive-aggressive, due to unspecified gender, but might be used to someone who uses gender-neutral pronouns
Kini aninene. ─ informal, like a confirmation or acknowledgement ─ to a man
Nyini aninene. ─ informal, like a confirmation or acknowledgement ─ to a woman
Losani aninene. ─ in practice, no one would ever say this except to someone who uses gender-neutral pronouns, because it combines informal cliticization with a formal second person pronoun
In all of these, ene may be replaced by osaka to indicate platonic love (the usual translation of that verb is "appreciate the friendship of").

What did I say that you say is "well said?"
