But responding to you as a person means that I'm responding to something
you said or did. Responding to you as an event, means that I'm responding to
you happening, whatever that means. (From what you say, "I happen" means
something like "I began to exist, am existing, and will cease to exist".)
Which of those two meanings is expressed by {mi spuda do}?
