- In certain traditional settings, the term for a kiss might be replaced by specific ceremonial gestures that involve the head or the hands to show respect.
- If you are describing a kiss in a poetic or song-like way, you might find that Fijian uses more metaphorical language involving the 'breath' or 'heart' rather than the word regu.
- The word regu can also refer to the act of pressing or squeezing, which reflects the physical sensation of a kiss rather than just the romantic intent.
