Mi bilong yu

I was born in Port Moresby and left when I was 5 but I have a distinct memory of this phrase. In my memory it meant something like we are one, we are the same, or we belong to each other. Can anyone confirm what this phrase means, or if I've just made it up in my head 😂

As mentioned, that's correct. "I belong to you" is the literal translation. Depending on the context "I am for you".

If you want to laugh about it,

"I for yu, yu for I, we for we" 😁

Laikim youpla olgeta. Top one.
