My Tibetan



Anybody who has heard me speak Tibetan knows that I have a habit of saying 're wa' (རེད་བ་) a lot; it means something like "right?" or "isn't it?" (or maybe like desune in Japanese).

I'm saying "Lhasa is a nice place, right? Tibet has a lot of yaks, right? It's good, right? Right? Right? Right?" and the bottom text says "My way of speaking, right?"

    This is too funny. How long have you studied Tibetan?

    Thanks. I've studied Tibetan off and on for about 8 years ...

    Oh wow... I've only been at it for a year, but your Eng-Tib dictionary has helped immensely, so thank you!

    Thanks! I'm glad to hear the dictionary has been helpful. If you find missing words or mistakes, I'm always happy to hear about them.

    So you speak Tibetan the same way you speak English, right?
