Greetings - Slaw (s-l-ah-w)
Ok I'm going to teach simple greetings.
How are you? - Choni? (Ch-o-nee)
chon meaning "how" and the i (ee) meaning "you"
Your health? - Tendrustit? (Tan-dr-uus-teet)
This may seem like an odd thing to ask someone however,
in Kurdish, it flows out naturally
Fine thanks and you? - Bash'm supas ey to? (b-ah-sh-m su-pah-ss ey to)
Bash'm being the word for "good"; supas being the word for "thanks" and ey to meaning "and you"
Good bye - Xwahafiz (Kh-wah-ha-feez)
Xwa being the word for "God" and fiz meaning "protect".
As Islamic culture has now become mixed with Kurdish, when we say good bye, we say "god protect" a better translation would be "God bless"
ok good luck with these.
