Tumutunok i batkonaire.

TUNOK : to descend, to come down

Tunok påpa'!  Come down!

Kao para en fanunok hamyo?  Are you getting down?  (Plural; three or more people)

Na' tunok.  To take down.

Na' tunok, fan, i litråto.  Please take down the picture.

Ti siña ma na' tunok.  It cannot be taken down.

Tunokgue.  To come down upon.

From a Chamorro hymn to the Holy Ghost :

Tunokgue ham / Espiritun guinaiya
(Come down upon us / Spirit of love)

yan songge ham / nu i guinaiya-mo.
(and enflame us / with your love.)
