"She is the only child"

[Gazelle1596]

This is another good example of the usage of "pekee" (vs. "peke ya...") - it mostly translates as "only" as an adjective, while "peke ya~" is by oneself. ;)
(Yes, I just wrote here instead of the original discussion where peke vs. pekee started.)

Would "anakuwa" work instead of "wewe ni"? If not, why not?

[ElMeuNom]

I think that the present tense of kuwa is always ni. It is irregular. In every other tense, it is normal. But I don't think you can ever use the "regular" present tense of kuwa.
