The servants’ houses have atap walls covered with samir or kajang matting— Rumah orang gaji itu dinding-nia ikat atap apit samir atau kajang.
This timber will not last long; it will rot very quickly— Kayu ini ta tahan lama, lakas nanti rĕput.
These wooden posts will be planed as smooth as possible— Tiang kayu ini nanti tukang tara buat lichin sakali.
Make out a list of all the different timber you will require, such as posts, beams, joists, rafters, &c.— Buat-lah kira-kira kayu-kayu yang handak itu deri-pada jerjak, rasuk, gĕlĕgar, kasau, dan lain-lain-nia.
Measure the height from the floor to the top of the wall-plate— Hukur-lah tinggi-nia deri lantei sampei ka-atas kapala-tiang.
Those door-posts are not straight— Ta’ betul jinang paha pintu itu.
I shall fix lattice-work here for climbing plants to grow over— Sahaya handak pukul papan jala-jala di-sini biar me-lata pokok bunga di-atas-nia.
In how many days will you thatch it?— Bĕr-apa hari lagi mahu bubok atap?
Three thousand ataps will not be enough— Ta’ chukup-lah tiga ribu atap.
