I love cheese. Cheese is the #1 reason I'll never become vegan.

*Not sure how to transcribe this in Sajiwan. The regular historic reflex would be "bigm", but given it would be a recent loan from English, perhaps "bigan" or even "vigan" could also be an option (Sajiwan doesn't natively have "v").

Personally I'd go with bigan because I don't like unassimilated loanwords, but it's up to you ... could be a mark of trendy, cosmopolitan people if they pronounce the [v]!
