La mayoría de los jóvenes con los que trabajamos tienen al Quechua como su lengua nativa. El Quechua es un idioma hermoso en el que cada palabra está cargada de cultura y de significado. Por eso, en el mes de febrero, decidimos desarrollar una campaña Quechua y publicar una palabra o frase por día. Desde la ciudad del Cusco, nuestras maravillosas tutoras, Tania y Marleny, quienes cuentan con certificación en Traducción Bilingüe Quechua-Español, nos ayudaron con las 29 palabras de este mes.
En caso no hayas podido seguir la campaña en redes sociales, ¡aquí te la compartimos!
Marq'arikuy: Hug
Imaynalla Kashanki: How are you? (This is he common greeting in Quechua. There is no literal translation for "hello.")
Tupananchiskama: Until we meet again. (This is the common farewell. The concept of not meeting the other person ever again doesn't exist.)
Ama hinachu kay: Please (There is no literal translation for "Please". Ama hinachu kay is a very loving way of saying "don't be like that".)
Añay: Thank you. (In Quechua, pronunciation and intonation is very important. If, instead of saying Añay one says "Añay!" the meaning changes from "Thank you" to "This is greatness".)
Qespichiy: I'm sorry. (There are several ways of apologizing. Qespichiy means "I'm sorry, help me improve." Penqachiy means "I'm sorry, I'm embarrassed." And Panpachay means "Please, forgive my mistakes.")
Kusikuy: Congratulations.
Sumac kusichasqa punchau kachun: Have a beautiful and happy day. (This is also a very loving way of wishing someone a happy birthday.)
Friend: Wayqey (man to man), Panay (man to woman), Ñañay (woman to woman), Turay (woman to man)
Khuyaykuyki: I miss you
K'iranakuyki: I support you (emotionally). Yanapakuyki means "I support you professionally - I offer you my work."
Umanchayki: I understand you
Qhawariyki: I take care of you. (It comes from the word Qhawariy, which means "I see you, with my whole being.")
Munankichu oqllanayta?: Do you want a hug? (The word Oqllay means "to warm and give shelter.")
Munakuyki: I love you
Kusiska Kashanki: I'm happy
Añanchaska kashanki kanwan: I'm thankful to you. (In Quechua, it's important to specify if you are grateful to a situation or a person.)
