Therefore in this sentence, the family members had to be contented with eating sweet potatoes because there was no more rice to cook. Of course, the Ifugao people do eat sweet potatoes as snacks or as soup. Sweet potatoes are also added to vegetables for viand during a famine when there is a shortage of rice. This also happens when a family has run out of rice and has no money to buy more rice.Ninuyuan dan kinan hu ubi tep endi hu begah ni ihhaeng. They had to be content with eating sweet potatoes because there was no rice to cook.-an/-in- -an
