Im TIRED of All These Words!

In English we add the words really before our adjectives...In Fijian they usually say...

Sara ga

or

Tamani

example

I am really hungry!  Au sa via kana sara ga!

or               Tamani via kana Oiau


The word Tamani literally means father of... but becomes slang for "big time"!
