娯楽のために語られる昔話で，多くの場合，夕食後子供も大人もゆったりと横になり，暗い家の中で行われる．これらの昔話はナヌメアで特によく知られており，ツバル全土で知られているものもある．さまざまな語り手が独自の抑揚で深みと楽しさを加える．（Keith & Anne Chambers' Website）
Tala Kkai are tales told for enjoyment, often in darkened houses after an evening meal, while children and adults recline and relax for the evening. These are well-known by Nanumeans and some are known throughout Tuvalu. Different tellers add their own dramatic and vocal touches, adding depth and enjoyment. (Keith & Anne Chambers' Website)
