   Grammar Note

   "sepira" = how much, "dhuwure" = its height ("dhuwur" high + "-e")

    I've injured my ankle — I need help.

    Usage

    Report ankle injury and request help

    Grammar Note

    "Butuh" = to need. The ankle is "polok", the same word the Body Parts category body-026 glosses as ankle. "Ugel-ugel" is KBJI's "pergelangan tangan" (the wrist), so it cannot be used for the ankle

    "sing" = relative pronoun

13. Ana kewan sing mbebayani ing kene?

    Are there dangerous animals in this area?

    Usage

    Ask about dangerous wildlife

    Grammar Note

    "Ana ... ing kene?" = "Is there ... here?". "Dangerous" is the deverbal "mbebayani", linked with the relative "sing". "Baya" cannot mean "dangerous": in modern Javanese it primarily means crocodile (KBJI: buaya, Crocodilus porosus) — the Animals category anim-015 glosses the same word that way — so "Ana kewan baya ing kene?" reads as asking about crocodiles
