‘Listening to the news, he is standing outside of his hut.’
Notes
- The Hapi people know neither of balconies nor of newspapers, so I had to change some words: 'reading the newspaper' became 'listening to the news [someone else is telling]' and 'on the balcony' became 'outside of [his] hut'.
- there's some differential argument marking happening with the O of títo 'to hear'; you'd usually expect tóíha to be in the unmarked absolutive case, but since it's a stimulus and concerns sensory perception, it takes the 'next to' relational case instead.
