[@Tswv863SarahGore]

Thank you ☺️

[@chertongyang4696]

Thanks for teaching Hmong to Hmong youths nowadays. These young kids don’t really know how to speak or write Hmong anymore. It’s not just benefiting Hmong People, but all those who wants to learn Hmong language. Thank you. God bless you. CherTong Yang of Minnesota

[@noogdubyangchannel6598]

Will, thank you for teaching Hmong kids who can't speaking in Hmong.. They always spoke only English.. They are Hmong blood, but they don't speaking Hmong,, now the Hmong saw you teaching Hmong words in the you tube it will make them don't forget their only language.. Thanks again.

[@Tswv863SarahGore]

Happy to help. I see that here in Thailand too. You’re not alone. I think it’s important to keep the language alive. :)

Great job on teaching Hmong. Although I should say that I’ve never used that sexy breathy tone when I’m speaking Hmong.

She’s teaching the white dialect. The green dialect is harder for many Hmong speakers who didn’t grow up with it.

[@luavdawbteejtug7175]

How come I've never heard of you until today.

[@wave100s7]

Tus muam

[@agapeasian]

Thank you for doing a good job teaching Hmong language. Just a friendly correction, the word tuav you saying not quite correct, the way you said is tuad. For example: Kuv nyeem ntawv (tuav). Koj phau ntawv nyob ntawd (tuad).

[@Tswv863SarahGore]

Thank you for the correction. I definitely appreciate it especially since I am not a native speaker. I keep practicing. Thanks for your support!! 😃

[@XRP_ONE]

Is there in the Hmong language that has a R sound? (Rah sound) like my name Ron. And if there is, how would you write it?

[@TheTrustedComputer]

I'm not an expert on how English words and names are borrowed into Hmong, but it probably goes something like Loos, or even left as it is. Tones are a bit tricky since English is atonal; most borrowings use the s tone or "cim mus". For example, "America" in Hmong is "As-Mes-Lis-Kas", shortened to "Mes-Kas" in most situations. There are no R's in Hmong; the closest sound to it is an L. It's quite the opposite of Japanese: they have an R but no L. This is one of the reasons why Hmong parents may say Ryan as lion: "Lai Yeem". The O in Ron is like the O in Hmong. In addition, the N at the end means it's nasalized, so it's OO. I hope it answers your question.

[@ziaskabhmoob]

We have "R" in the Hmong Romanized Popular Alphabet. R = riam (or knife)

[@TheTrustedComputer]

@@ziaskabhmoob I think you misread the question. I understand there is one, but RPA R is a completely different sound that's more like a hard T. This person was talking about a sound that corresponds to the English R in Hmong, not whether there is an R in the language.

[@haivhmoob9644]

Kuv tua hneev, I shoot using bow Kuv tua phom l, I shoot gun Kuv muab rabriam tua nab, I killed the snake using knife.

[@Tswv863SarahGore]

Haiv Hmoob Thanks for the additions!!

[@jackhmong]

Wow!

[@GrowWhereYouArePlanted]

Are you speaking White or Green Hmong?

[@Tswv863SarahGore]

So far my videos have been in White Hmong. But in the future I’ll make Green Hmong videos as well. My videos on the alphabet include Green Hmong vowels and consonants though. Since there are only slight differences, I thought it would be good to teach them together instead of making a separate Green Hmong video with only a few sounds.

[@Gazalle12]

She's teaching Hmong Dawb (white Hmong Dialect)

[@Linguiphile]

amantedelenguaje2, I was wondering the same. Thanks for asking.

[@luster5497]

Have you done a video on using one word "sarcasticly" to say yes. For example "yes in hmong yog". Use yog with tone to say "yog-oh"-to asked, "yog-ah"-hell no, "yog-khuj"(wrong spelling)-hell yes.

[@Tswv863SarahGore]

I can’t say as I have done a video on those words. I’ll have to do more investigating on them. Thanks. 😆

[@luster5497]

@@Tswv863SarahGore They're just "tonal homonyms", I'm not trying to "trip you up". You guys are so good at what you guy do.(no sarcasim) -"man when you say no(anything) it sounds worst! Lmao sorry".

[@bandithvilaychith7377]

Isn't kill the same thing as dead?

[@Tswv863SarahGore]

It’s so very similar unfortunately... the same pronunciation just with a different tone. ‘Tua’ is kill while ‘tuag’ is dead. And also, to add confusion, ‘tuaj’ is to come, like a visitor. 😳 Good question!

[@bandithvilaychith7377]

@@Tswv863SarahGore I'm confused about pronouncing the word "Nco" and "Nrog" it sounds the same to me.

[@Tswv863SarahGore]

@@bandithvilaychith7377 Good question. The "C" is hard to explain over text like this, but what typically makes that sound (although there different dialects and pronunciations of it), is the edges of the tongue touching the teeth, and then 'letting go' as the air in the mouth gently moves passed and the tongue pulled away from the teeth. But better than that, here is a vide my husband makes on the T, D, and R sound..kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4axXquveLh5jtk I hope that helps.

[@haivhmoob9644]

"Kuv tua", literally mean, I shoot...

[@KeePhengVue]

Haiv Hmoob depends on the context. Tua nyuj can either be shoot cow or kill cow. If you don’t have a gun or arrow, then kuv tua is basically just “I kill”.
