The sun and the moon

Bula vinaka!

I just learned a few interesting Fijian phrases today, dealing with the sun and the moon:

Sa dromu na mata ni siga.

The sun is rising.

Sa cadra na mata ni siga.

The sun is setting.

Sa dromu na vula.

The moon is rising.

Sa cadra na vula.

The moon is setting.


Notice that vula is used to represent both moon and month.
