Notes
Usage
Isinolsog ako.
“I was reported.”
“I was told on.”
“I was ratted out.”
Semantic note
The affected person is foregrounded as the one whose conduct or information was conveyed to someone else.
The English translation depends on context:
- reported — neutral or formal
- told on — often used of children or minor wrongdoing
- ratted out — colloquial and strongly disapproving
The Boie’nen form itself need not always imply betrayal. The reporter may believe that telling a parent, elder, or authority is appropriate or beneficial.
