Examples:
> Don't return until you've found her.
> Leave it until later.
> Toki's house and Satsko's house burned down.

Proverbs:
> I build it and you destroy it?
May be applied to a person who feels his aims or projects are being destroyed by the actions of another.
> A full basket was dropped in Ngeremeduu bay.
From the folk tale about Obak era Kedesau on his way to a feast being given in honor of his wife by her adoptive father. While crossing Ngeremeduu Bay between Ngatpang and Ngeremlengui, Obak dropped a basket of Palauan money overboard. Despite this terrible loss, he still had the courage and sufficient cash to carry off his visit in high style. The saying may be used to reassure someone, following a loss, reminding them that Obak era Kedesau recovered from an even greater loss.
> It's as if I've submerged my head into Mekaeb (the channel between Peleliu and Agaur).
A term to describe a dish that is really salty.
> 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.)
> Are you the son of Redechor
is that why you're standing around so much?
More Examples:
> I found a litter of wild piglets and I was able to catch two of them.
> The crocodile and I had a snatching match for the crab in the channel.
> We went to the rock island with my wife's family.
> You are so lazy my dear.
> Well see you later.
