Re: Purepecha Language Assistance Needed

[AMI...@aol.com]

Dear Darci,

 

Here are a few words in Purépecha, and their English and Spanish translations:  

Purépecha                                                  English                Spanish  

Najtsï na eránsku (nahtsee na eranskoo) Good morning      Buenos días  
Pauani jamberi (pa-oo-anee hamberee)         See you tomorrow  Hasta mañana  

Ninderia (Neen deh ree-ah)                          Goodbye                Adiós  
Dios meiamekua (dee-os me-ee-ah-me-koo-ah) Thank you          Gracias

Greetings, We are seeking assistance in learning how to say "Good Morning" in the Purepecha/Tarascan Language.  My son has an opportunity to speak at his Junior High School graduation, opening with Good Morning in a language other than English.  Cody has chosen the Purepecha Language because of his father's ancestors that were born and raised in the Patamban & Zamora areas of Michoacan, Mexico. Thanks in advance, Darci & Cody Nuñez
