Building complex words from the root words

The 'complex word' building works in the same way the Chinese do it.

The word for animal can be viva since viva means any living thing.

So lets say you want to say "a bird".

Take the word animal/a living thing:

viva

and add it with the word fly (beto):

beto viva

that is how to say bird in Bonko!

----------------------------------------------------

Color in Bonko are interesting. There are not many colors but the few colors can be combined to make additional colors.

Example:

dark blue

kala nila

light blue

bala nila

orange

aka bila

red and orange

aka kon aka bila

a red and orange clothing

vu te aka kon aka bila
