I want to know the word for "shyness". Also wonder if there's a word for CD, if no, then maybe anyone could come up with a nice translation that would make sense.

zpakln: how about this..... when i came back, he was angry - Nigba ti mo pada de, oun binu

When are you going? - Nigba wo ni oun lo?

this should be
Nigba ti mo pada de o n'binu (when i came back he was angry)
oun=thing
o= used in place of the person
