Examples:
> His family and the villagers were quite surprised at the boy's sudden good health and quick recovery.
> Ulang always mismanages her finances; she is always short when there is a need for her.
> He's young and unexperienced (lit. his buttocks are covered with sores) and doesn't know anything.
> This old man is bothering the group.
> He's just a child, so don't listen to what he says.
Proverbs:
> That man is like a duck.
The native duck, debar, doesn't fly very well, or high like other birds, it doesn't walk or run like some animals, it can't sing well, and it doesn't swim as well as a fish. But it can do all these things. Applied to a person who seemingly can do many different things, none of them expertly. "Jack of all trades."
More Examples:
> This guy is very well established.
> What is this person like?
> These old man's kids will be talked about at the conference next month.
> Ulang keeps dwelling and fermenting in the past and gets all worked up and shut down.
> Ngerkumer, your husband is very nicely humble.
