Mapudungun/Raguileo/Lessons/Lesson 1

Dialogue one
- ¡Mari mari peñi! - Mari mari - ¿cumleymi? - Kvmelen, ¿eymi kay? - Iñce kafey

- Greetings brother! - Greetings - How are you? - Im fine, and you? - Me too


 * You might have noticed the reverted exclamation- and questionmarks, it works just like a normal exclamation- or questionmark but you have them in the beginning of the sentence. This comes from the Spanish, the language that is spoken in Chile and Argentina.


 * The word "peñi" in the first sentence doesn't literally translate to brother when greeting. Also, it can only be used by men. A woman would say "lamgen" (sister) to both women and men greeting someone.

Dialogue two
- Mari mari lamgen - Mari mari - ¿cumleymi? - ¿Cem pimi? - ¿cumleymi? - Kvmelen, pewkajal - Greetings sister - Greetings - How are you? - What did you say? - How are you? - Im fine, bye


 * Mari mari and pewkajal is used during the daytime. During the evening and nighttime you use puh may which means good evening.
