similar to “he would of gone” in English. If you want to be pure about it, you
shouldn’t hear the common “bihain long haus” (‘later than …’), but you hear it
everywhere.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>It looks like there is some
adjustment of Tok Pisin words to English spelling, regardless of the meaning of
the English word (dispela - display). Also a kind of calquing of English
constructions based on sound similarity (rather than semantic/functional
equivalence) in `display taim mi sapos long go' for `the time I was supposed to
go'. I haven't heard this construction before but then again haven't been
speaking Tok Pisin for a while, do others find it familiar?<br>

taking his life-saving medicine four months ago because he didn’t have the
money to pay for it and felt ashamed to ask for help.<br>
<span style='font-size:10.5pt;background:#F5F8F0'>> </span>“Yu save sister
blong mi, mi no man blong askim long samting sapos em I concernim mi,’’ he told
me in his last media interview on Friday afternoon immediately after he arrived
in Buka from his Manus trip.<br>
<span style='font-size:10.5pt;background:#F5F8F0'>> </span>About 12 hours
later, he collapsed from what is believed to have been a massive heart attack
and was dead before he could be rushed to the nearby Buka Hospital.<br>
<span style='font-size:10.5pt;background:#F5F8F0'>> </span>Late president
Kabui, who could give me an interview at his Gateway because he was either tired
or tied up singled out to me from his Gateway room after returning from the
Manus Governor’s conference: “ringim mi tomoro (Friday) na bai yumi stori.”<br>
<span style='font-size:10.5pt;background:#F5F8F0'>> </span>Kabui, the
villager, as he was described in numerous eulogies and tributes in a State
funeral in Port Moresby when asked why he did not want to get more medicine
supplies said he had a lot of faith and trust in a local brand of water reputed
to have healing powers and that he did not want to infringe the Autonomous
Bougainville Government funds for his own use.<br>
