"Gari lisipokuja sitafika"

Translation: If the car does not come I will not arrive

Why isn't this in the lesson on conditionals? I am in a lesson on relative constructions.

[vtopphol]

I guess an "if" sentence is also a relative construction, or could at least be realised as one? So they could be in both skills, I believe.

[BirgitBerk1]

Does "po" not mean when rather than if? Is this something to be reported?

[juryrigging]

The particle -sipo- is the negative of -ki- in conditional sentences.

Sipo can mean both "if not" and "when not".

Thank you :-)
