tunuans would translate "bullshit" as "nini simo"
( [nini Simo] ) which means "this (is) true"
because saying "this is true" implies that you could reversely consider that
"this is untrue" (nini nyasimo : [nini =F1aSimo]).
if you want to agree politely, just say "sasa tite" ("now eat" =3D "let's ea=
t")
except when you agree regarding a topic related to food because=20
then one could consider that you consider reversely to the consideration
regarding food - whereupon you have to say "kuli lolo ?" ("weather how ?"
=3D "how (is the) weather ?").
except if the topic regards the weather, of course. but this is another=20
