Continuing with Gary’s list:
- Oh, dear! the wind has blown my hat away!
- Alas! that news is sad indeed!
Another interjection! Or maybe not. The rest is fairly simple.
135. udan dolɨdɛn le pɛstɛ maseya.
- udan
- wind.MTsg
- dolɨdɛn
- hat.MTsg
- le
- 1P
- pɛstɛ
- pɛsi.PRF
- maseya
- oh dear
The adverb maseya actually means “sadly” or “frowningly”. It makes a nice stand-in for “oh dear”. It also makes a nice stand-in for “alas!”, but the next sentence already uses “sad”. So, here’s a new interjection: u!
136. u! da sala daɬa maseya no bala.
- u!
- alas!
- da
- that.SSsg
- sala
- news.SSsg
- daɬa
- daɬa.IMP
- maseya
- sadly
- no
- very
- bala
- I feel
