NY SARIBAKOLIN'I FANJA
Eo ambonin'ny latabatra fianarany eo foana no apetrak'i Fanja ilay saribakoliny ka isaky ny miditra izy dia mitsiky aminy kely. Jereny ny masony: baribary kely ery, sady rehefa mikimpy, mipelipelika ery ireo volomaso keliny ka ohatra ny mangarika azy kely izy amin'izay. Ary izato molony menamena somary mipotsaka kely! mova tsy toy ny an'ny zazakely izay midongy fa tsy nitondran-dreniny mofo! Tsapain'i Fanja ny tongony sy ny tanany: malemilemy kely ery sady botabota mahafatifaty tahaka ny an'ny zazakely mihitsy. Fa ny tena nahafinaritra an'i Fanja taminy, dia ny volony lava sy manojanonja, ka finaritra ery izy manogo azy isaky ny mihetsika izao.

Exceptions:
the final –tra is kept sometimes because the word was taken from another language:
example: pocket: poketra, poketrany (handbag),
But some people do not know the rule so they keep it in the possessive case, which is a mistake.
example:
peratra: peratrany instead of perany
molotra: molotrany instead of molony
