sex- v. fazi seksu (polite); fazi amor (polite); moka (vulgar); mofa (vulgar); tra karepa; da krau; kebra koku (lit. break poop) (vulgar); kume kuza (lit. eat the thing) (vulgar); subi kama (lit. climb the bed) (informal); deta (lit. lie down/go to bed) (informal); fazi kuza (lit. do the thing) (vulgar); mopi kasarola (lit. dent the pot) (vulgar); fodi (vulgar); poi kuza na kuza (put the thing in the thing) (vulgar); subi na kabelu (lit. climb in the hair) (vulgar); xinta na pregu (sit on the nail) (vulgar); kumi kabesa (lit. eat the head) (vulgar); kumi kongu (lit. eat congo beans) (vulgar); fazi galu ku galinha (lit. do the rooster and the chicken) (vulgar); fazi kel kuza (lit. do that thing) (vulgar); fazi mal kriason/kriadeza (lit. do the bad thing) (vulgar); da un kuza (lit. give a thing) (vulgar); da katxor banhu (lit. give the dog a bath) (vulgar); da biota (lit. give housework) (vulgar); da fuliada (lit. give a throw) (vulgar); da fogu (lit. give fire)
