“We must pay for the water we drink; our wood is sold to us.” is written ပအီ ပထံ လၢစ့အဂီၢ် ပပှ့ၤန့ၢ် ပသ့ၣ်မုၣ်လီၤ in Sgaw Karen, read in a rough way as pa aw pa htee luh say a ghaw pa phgāy nay pa thày mù lāw. Knyaw helps you read and understand words, not say them out loud. Karen is a tone language, so the English-letter sounds are only a rough help.
