Examples:
> The attorneys will attempt at a settlement to avoid trial.
> Why are you just sitting here? - Because they don't want me to go over there.
> Why do you ask me to give (someone) a message for you and then come yourself?
> On what occasions or at what times did you go to Japan?
> You don't want to go to the movies, and you don't even want to go to the restaurant, so what do you really want to do?
Proverbs:
> Are you the son of Redechor
is that why you're standing around so much?
> You're like a fish bait which can be eaten or pecked from the top and bottom.

> He's like the sea urchins between Ngiwal and Melekeok, on the ocean floor with its cover.
The sea urchin can be seen lying quietly on the lagoon floor, occasionally with a leaf like a hat covering its head. Applied to a man who acquires a wife or great wealth without working for it.
> With persistence the village of Ngersuul was maintained
When the men's clubs of Koror could not proceed as far as Melekeiok, a major village to the north that stood in political balance with Koror, the clubs would often stop over at Ngersuul and sack the small village. Yet the people of Ngersuul, over and over defeated, clung to their village and persisted through history. (Sometimes the village of Angaur is used, with a similar meaning, in place of Ngersuul.) The saying may be applied to the harried individual who is about to give up a task because of repeated failure.
> Like Ngiramesemong, rehashing what has been finished.
Pertains to a person who repeatedly reminds another of past favors or continually recalls the mistakes of others. (My sources no longer recalled the episode or story from which this idiom derives.)
