lipu esun mi: (shopping list, literally: my buying document)
1 kili palisa jelo mute (bananas, lit: many yellow stick-fruits)
2 kala pi loje walo (salmon, lit: red-white fish)
3 moku kasi laso supa (salad greens, lit: flat green plants for eating)
4 telo walo (milk, lit: white drink)
5 kili kiwen lili mute (nuts, lit: many small hard fleshy-plant-food)
6 pan supa sike (pita, lit: flat, round grain-product)
It's worth noting that the translations are ambiguous and personal; if I gave this list to a stranger I might end up with pizza crust instead of pita, or nut milk instead of cow milk. If I wanted to explicitly specify nut milk I'd have to say something like "telo walo pi kili kiwen lili" (lit: white drink of small hard fleshy-plant-food). Having said that, even in English people generally wouldn't go into that level of detail on a personal shopping list. When my partner writes "milk" on the shopping list I know they actually mean a "half-gallon of whole milk" based on prior experience.
