I have seen Dakeni in several Level 2 grammar books before, so I think it
would be safe to say that Dakeni should be a Level 2 expression, instead of
level 1. (contributor: nhk9)

[ex#6176] This may be picky, but I disagree with the translation. If I am
mistaken please correct me as it is important for other learners to

expect) Since they are getting older, as a daughter she is worried (about
them).' (contributor: benni)
