Examples:
> Be careful so you do not break the cup.
> Ulang weighs so little that she can be blown away by the wind.
> It's as if I live somewhere so far away that I don't know what's going on.
> She's an amazing cook that she doesn't even need anyone to try the food she makes.
> He's so busy playing around that his responsibilities are neglected.
Proverbs:
> Destroying his money.
Marriage within the clan, generally considered incestuous, limits the value of the food-money exchange, since the materials simply change hands within the same clan group. A man so married is criticized as having destroyed his source of wealth.
> 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.
More Examples:
> I fell on the stone path and cracked my head.
> The wind got so strong that it broke down the chicken house / cage.
> I like this child because he's/she's very polite.
> Why are Ngerkumer's eyes blinking so much?
