| random pictures unrelated to post. cory and i have lived in bethel for almost seven months now. we have learned a lot about the native people and culture. but there is one thing that we are still trying to get a grasp on... yupik. i have started to pick up on some words and phrases, such as: (this is not the actual yupik spelling of the words) ((i tried to write them in a way that you could sound them out)) uss = listen to me una wha ni = you or this one die-gaa = come here quyana = thank you umpy = hurry up as piq = good so if i wanted to say, "hey you, hurry up!" i would say, "una wha ni, umpy!" well that concludes your first lesson in yupik. come back next time for you lesson on numbers! |
