English Translation

Describes a sweet potato or potato that was fresh going limp and withered. Also used when something falls inside. Also describes being lost for words because you have been defeated in argument or because you have finally understood: he thought he had caught me out, but when I explained to him everything that had happened he simply fell silent.
