Examples:
> How many coconuts do you have?
> We'll continue to collect more coconuts until we have twenty.
> (lit., The coconut is to be matched.) A similar incident/accident is likely to happen soon.
> How many coconuts do you have?
> How many coconuts are there?
Proverbs:
> It's like the rat of Ngerard, which eats up all your coconuts and (then) all of ours.
It's a decision, plan etc. that will backfire. A pet rat owned by Mad, chief of Ngaraard, ate the coconuts of most of the chief's neighbors, then, still hungry, ate the chief's own coconuts.
More Examples:
> That's a lot of coconuts.
> Squeeze the wet cloth with grated coconut in it to squeeze out the coconut milk.
> Put some crated coconut in the piece of cloth.
> My ypung coconut trees are sprouting real good.
> Grate the coconuts.
