@Tepan
Would you say that :
sina ken toki pona e kama ni? = Can you explain what happened?
what happened = this outcome [?]

I think yes. But "what" in "what happens" triggers the idea of a relative clause to me, hence the wording with "seme".

Thank you. Toki pona makes me feel free to translate any sentence most simply without worrying too much about grammar, you know.

Who needs grammar anyway? ;) :D
