The word for rain literally means "sky water".
The word for cloud is the same as the word for "water bottle".
(I am learning weather words since we are finally having some weather that isn't hot and sunny).
Going along with a bicycle being called a plastic horse and an airplane being a sky boat, a train is called a "land boat".
The word for the color green means "the color of leaves". Yellow is "the color of nete powder" (nete is a fruit which is dried and made into a powder, I think for traditional medicine). I haven't figured out what the other color words mean yet.
