Learning words
Sunday, September 25th, 2005 at 3:10 pm by BethDay 21 of Iradi. Here is what I have so far:
- Salam (hello). Everyone answers with something longer and I just smile.
- Rahmat (thank you). Said it forty times at the bazaar.
- Kancha? (how much?). Don't ask this without knowing the answer in advance, or you'll laugh.
- Jakshy (good). Sam says it to everything, even broccoli.
At the bazaar nobody minds if you mix English and Iradi and hand signals. A man selling honey said in English "Very sweet, very good, my sister live in Chicago." Half the country has a sister in Chicago!
