Liana: Nunu pisuayan do boros tokou ‘mingorot-orot’ om ‘minggaso’?

What is the difference between the meanings of our language ‘pretending’ and ‘joking’? Ken: Nokuro tu muhot ko dogo, ika nogi togumu toilalaan boros tokou?

Why do you ask me, it is you who knows our language better than me?

Liana: Kuu! Kada mogolim toilalaan nu. Koilo ko ih nga mingorot-orot ko do au koilo. Kuu! Don’t deny your wisdom. You know but you pretend not to know.

Ken: Oo, koilo oku nodi rati mingorot-orot. Kirati iti do au mintopot id nunu mangan. Oo, now I know what ‘mingorot-orot’ means. It means not doing a thing.

Liana: Ogumu tulun arahi mingorot-orot. Tandasan do tulun suai do minggaso noopo There are many people who like to pretend. Other people think that they are only joking. Ken: Oops! Rati minggaso nopo nga joking. Pounsikou, Liana.

Oops! Minggaso is our word joking. Thank you, Liana.

Liana: Minggaso osonong i nung au pouruan. Mingorot-orot nopo nga araat kopio. Joking is good if not overdone. Pretending is very bad.

I stopped being a friend to those people.

Liana: Nokuro tu boroson nu dogo miagal dino?

Why do you say such to me?

Ken: Olundus ko kopio om ogumu tanakwagu rumahi dika.

You are so beautiful and there are so many guys who like to court you.

Liana: Nokuro tu moboros ko dogo miagal dino?

Why do you say so to me?

It is because I love you.

Liana: Au no minog boroson nu iri tu nasanganu oku no do songulun. Siou Ken.

You don’t need to say that anymore because I already belong to someone. I am sorry Ken. Ken: (Aiso simbar, minongisu romou om mininsud mantad doros di Lenny)
