ng ngera a belkul? ak omdasu el kmo ng tekoi el ngar er a Siabal el mei, e ng di diak kutebengii a belkul.

E.g. Tireka meral melaok ikal ippengir?

can anybody traslate it?

It comes from "idib" which is wallet. So ippengel is his/her wallet and of course ippengir is their wallet.

I presume that phrase was used like the English saying "fat wallet."

oh, I figured it out - Josephs wrote it as CHIDIB / CHIDBENGEL.

why Palauans don't say it that way?
