Continuing the discussion from O le kosan / Mun Kosan:
Hi Fassah! I’ve made this a separate topic to focus specifically on the part of the English sentence that you want to express in Maninka with kosɔn.
Basically, you want to say “The reason (that) I don’t like X is …”. The rest is other details that I won’t address here.
You can render this with kosɔn, but I’d probably do so like this:
X man di n ye kun mɛn kosɔn, o ye ko…
Lit. “X isn’t pleasing to me reason which because of, that is that…”
As you can see, this is a relative sentence and it needs to be structured rather differently from the English. This is generally the case in Manding!
Hope that helps
