Kinál would say "I am the best" as good.STAT-1S.AG-1P.PAT 'I am the good one of us' where 'us' refers to everyone involved. For something like, "That is the reddest" it would be red.STAT-3S.AG-3P.PAT 'It is the red one of them'. So the basic form is Stative verb+patient, which seems contradictory a bit.

Next Word: Visit
noun or verb

Poswa: bwaffub, can also mean "blow, hit, injury"
Pabappa: pusur

Both of these words come from a verb meaning to stand in front of someone and block their path, i.e. force them to confront you
