Proverbs:
> Like a man circumcised, insufficient skin.
Circumcision seems to have been known in Palau prior to contact, perhaps through contact with the Philippines, but was not widely practiced. As in this context, it usually draws attention in the form of ridicule. The idiom applies to any circumstance in which there has been insufficient preparation or planning; a premature decision.
> It's like taking a shower at Tellei's bath, when somebody takes a shower, you shiver from the cold.
Someone's actions makes you embarrassed.
> Like a person somewhere taking a bath, but I'm cold.
Applies to any embarrassing act, such as boasting or gossiping, on the part of a friend.
> The light of youth is darkness.
A young person may display pride or may be showy in dress habits; youth may shine, but the brilliance does not mean enlightenment.
> Don't be like the man from Ngerchemai who lost both the turtle and the canoe.
Don't bite off more than you can chew...don't be selfish.
More Examples:
> There was a crash by the bridge. Nobody got hurt.
> Where in the U.S are you from?
> Point to the person nearest to you.
> What is the job of the libarian?
> The people who came to the feast are now all gone.
