"kiš 'ayye" - the Chochenyo way to say "you're welcome"

kiš = to me
'ayye = also/too ('ayye also means "and")   

You're Welcome

The way we say "good bye" in Chochenyo is different than in English. We say "'uṭaspu meene," which means "you take care of yourself."

'uṭaspu = to take care of yourself
meene = you

Take Care Of Yourself (Good Bye)

"how are you?" in Chochenyo is "em-kamyi?" meaning "are you well?"

The response, if you're doing well, is "kamyik!" which means "I'm well."

Question:
'em = you/your
kamyi = to be well

Response:
kamyi+k = well + I am

How Are You?

The way we say "Happy Mother's Day" in Chochenyo is "horše 'annan 'i-ṭuuxi"
horše = good
'annan = mother

ṭuuxi = day

Happy Mother's Day!
