today's post (WIP)

So yesterday I was binging on Binging With Babish (great show, btw, highly recommend it) and didn't get much done, and I almost didn't make a post today, but I caught myself before the day ended (although it may have done so by the time this post is done), so I'll make this a two-in-one.

In the spirit of my BwB filled Saturday, part one will be about food. The words for various foods and some drinks, how to order them in restaurants, and buying them at the market.

Transitioning from that, part two will be about shopping and money.

Excuse me. I'd like to order now.
Ha, da'! Go'its macan.

I'll have...
...dos.

...soup

...Tomato Soup
Luha Itomatwa...

...Vegetable soup
Luha Ikiza...
Luha I'uba...

...Chicken Noodle Soup
Luha Idijakatwak...


...Salad
Slava...

...sandwich
Habuma...

Now, let's say you want to order something with a proper name, like a Club sandwich, for instance. You use -à- like so:

...Club Sandwich
Habuma-à-Klab...

I suppose you might also get away with saying Klab-Habuma, but that's not very proper

...steak


...pasta
