Tonga Lesson
Ian is trying his best to learn Tonga and really is doing a good job. I, on the other hand, am struggling with the language as I always do. I do have some good words however that I will pass on. I do not know how to write them correctly but can use the International Phonetic Alphabet to indicate how to say them. For those of you who do not know IPA, I will say them when I return home.
"Big Cook" [muˈdʒiɡə muˈpɑti] - (the name many use for Ba Leonard)
Chameleon [ˌnɛɚrəmˈtɑmweɪ]
Tonga water spirit [ˈnjɑmɪ ˈnjɑmɪ]
Ian has many more but will post some later.
It was very cold again this morning so Ian built a fire. I don't think it was as cold as it was yesterday, but close. We don't have water again, but we have electricity. As they say here, "W. T. Zed" (Welcome to Zambia).
