oje rocasa = strange noise
aboma gosa = fierce leader
Sa efi ye de? = What are you doing? (What thing you do?)

Pakuni grammar:

For the most part, it is like English grammar, except generally, the adjective comes after the noun it describes.

Examples:
ogansa bisasa = magic big very, "very big magic"
oje rocasa = noise strange, "strange noise"

When Pakuni speak English:

When Pakuni speak the little English they know, they usually add an "ah" sound to the end of the word.
Examples:
"Cha-ka, you want some soup?" "Soup-ah?"
"Cha-ka, eat now?" "Eat-ah! Me ji!"
"Go home Cha-ka." "Home? Home-ah."
"Ta, you're a big mean jerk." "Jerk-ah?"

This is not always true, so use your own discretion.
