Did you deliver that letter?— Surat itu sudah sĕrah-kah?

Is there any answer?— Ada jawab[24]-nia apa-apa?

The master sends his compliments— Tuan kirim tabek baniak-baniak.

There are a great many mosquitoes here— Nyamok ter-lampau baniak di-sini.

I don’t much like living here— Sahaya ta’ bĕr-apa suka duduk[25] di-sini.

I was disgusted at hearing him speak like that— Sahaya binchi men-dengar per-kata-an-nia yang bagitu.

Are you on good terms with so-and-so?— Kamu sama si-anu ada baik-kah?

Mr. —— was very angry with him— Marah sa-kali Tuan —— kapada-nia.

I do not venture to interfere— Sahaya ta’ bĕrani champor.

Don’t interrupt— Jangan masok-kan mulut.
