"Manbolenget" is the Kankanaey word equivalent to the English adjective dark. "Manbolenget" is used to describe the environment. For example, a room with no illumination may be described as "manbolenget". "Manbolenget" is also used to describe the environment when the horizon us very cloudy and that the rain is about to pour. When describing a person who is dark-skinned, you CANNOT use "Manbolenget", instead, you use the Kankanaey word for black which is "Natuling".
You should say "Natuling ka" when you mean "You are dark-skinned", NOT, "manbolenget ka".
