Líquidos [como saliva, urina, lágrimas] de um tevul yom [aquele que imergiu naquele dia em um micvê , mas que deve esperar até o anoitecer para se tornar totalmente puro e tem impureza de segundo grau até então] são como os líquidos que ele tocou; nenhum deles se torna impuro. E todos os outros que são impuros, seja em menor ou maior grau [ou impureza], os líquidos emitidos por eles são como líquidos que um deles tocou; estes e aqueles são de um grau primário [de impureza], exceto um líquido que é uma origem de impureza [isto é, como o espeto de urina de um zav ].
Bartenura on Mishnah Tevul Yom
משקה טבול יום – the liquids which exude from the person who immersed himself that day) – as for example, his spittle, his urine, the tears of his eyes and the blood from his wounds, and the milk of a woman.

English Explanation of Mishnah Tevul Yom
Liquids that come out of a tevul yom are like those which he has touched: neither of them causes defilement. Liquids that come out of a person include one's spit and one's urine. Our mishnah deals with the defiling power of such liquids. For a tevul yom, a person who has been to the mikveh but the sun has not yet set, those liquids are pure. They are like liquids that he touches and a tevul yom does not defile liquid such in order to give it first degree impurity. We should note that while a tevul yom would disqualify terumah that he has touched, as we saw in yesterday's chapter, he does not defile non-sacred produce.

Bartenura on Mishnah Tevul Yom
כמשקים שהוא נוגע בהן – like liquids of priest’s due/heave-offering that he touches/comes in contact with, for a person who has immersed himself that day/Tevul Yom invalidates heave-offering/priest’s due.

English Explanation of Mishnah Tevul Yom
With regard to all others that are unclean, be they of minor or major [degree], the liquids that come out of them are like those they touch; both have first degree impurity. In contrast, other people who are actually unclean, do defile liquids to give them first degree impurity and the liquids that come out of their body have first degree impurity. It doesn't matter whether these people have high or low levels of impurity. The liquids that they touch or that come out of their body would defile food and vessels but they wouldn't defile people.

אלו ואלו – liquids which exude from his body and liquid heave-offering do not defile the Holy Things/make the susceptible to uncleanness , but they invalidate it (see Tractate Parah, Chapter 8, MIshnah 7).

English Explanation of Mishnah Tevul Yom
Except for liquid that is a "father of impurity." The exception to this rule are the few cases where liquids that come out of a person are themselves considered to be "fathers of impurity." This would include the spit or urine of a zav (see Zavim 5:7). Such liquids would even defile people and things.
