Mis Hio/Idioms

Words in this vocabulary are given in their linked form that corresponds to the English part of speech. Nouns are given in their bare forms; add -u to the first word to use them as objects or -o to get the genitive form.

In parentheses after the word or idiom are given forms that are most frequently linked to it. E.g. you will see sakti (-u) as translation for "about", meaning that you will frequently see a direct object following this form, like in Men hiksa sakti tû "He talked about you".
