More basic household vocabulary today:
insen /ˈin․sen/ sink, basin < in- augmentative + sen cup, bowl
This derivation is pretty transparent.
Insen mai manur si salki re.
sink LAT vegetable.PL ACC place.IMP PTCL
Put the vegetables in(to) the sink.
Imperatives are moderated with the particle re.
Insen si këspin mata li riëlainat no.
sink ACC hot water ABL fill.INF be.PFV
I'll fill the sink with hot water.
The simple future, INF + no, is practically confined to first person subjects, so the subject is unambiguous here. Also Kílta has separate temperature words for water and food. Mahin hot would be used for things or the weather.
