 “Samtaem wan o tu dring i tumas. Eksampol:

 U.S. National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism i talem se: “Sam smol jenis oli save givhan bigwan blong blokem trabol we i kamaot from strong dring.”

 Traem samting ya: Sipos narafala i wantem givim wan dring long yu, yu mas rere blong talem “No” wetem respek mo strong tingting.
