Examples:
> Here's Droteo.
> He's just a child, so don't listen to what he says.
> This old man is bothering the group.
> He's young and unexperienced (lit. his buttocks are covered with sores) and doesn't know anything.
> That king had no bracelet, neither ornament.
Proverbs:
> That man is like a duck.
The native duck, debar, doesn't fly very well, or high like other birds, it doesn't walk or run like some animals, it can't sing well, and it doesn't swim as well as a fish. But it can do all these things. Applied to a person who seemingly can do many different things, none of them expertly. "Jack of all trades."
More Examples:
> My mother in law is a bit under the weather.
> This guy is very well established.
> What is this person like?
> My American friend is learning Palauan.
> This old man stayed stiff and contorted as he died.
