Let go. Leave hold— Lepas tangan.

Who is there?— Siapa ada?

Bring a light— Bawa api.

Where are the matches?— Di-mana goris api?

Say that again— Choba kata lagi sakali.

I did not quite hear— Sahaya ta’ bĕrapa dengar.

They are great liars— Dia orang kuat mem-bohong.

I dare not tell you a lie— Sahaya ta’ bĕrani mem-bohong kapada tuan.

I am very sorry to hear it— Sahaya baniak susah hati men-dengar.

Move to the right— Kĕsak ka-kanan.
