Tanga'loka
We go for a walk. About half an hour of "stay to the right, AB, stay to the right." She was so excited. "I've never been to the Green-way! I didn't know this was here!" It was a lot of fun, if largely pointless in R's opinion, but I felt like I did some good.
We drive over to the park and we play. At one point she is turning these tiles over on a play structure with a rather rigid cargo net beneath it. We're both about three feet away, R on the other side of the structure. Her foot slips on the side as she's tired and not paying attention and she falls over the cargo net to the ground, about four feet. Nothing broke, but it scared the living bejeebus out of all involved.
So we're on the way home and she's playing word games (What does a,b,c,d spell where a-d are random letters, and she is working on her own language). She says:
Y'yandudika means 'no' in my language.
Yes, and tanga'loka means 'yes.'
Wouldn't it be easier to just say 'yes?'
Tanga'loka.
Bwahahahahahaahaha. Bwahahahhahaha. (breathe) Bwhahaahahahaha
Other phrases of interest.
Langi'leke = I want more apples.
Tangu'leke = You'll never learn my language.
