Uchinaaguchi

Okinawa Culture - Language
Let's sing Uchinaaguchi!

Lesson 1

Chuu uganabira is the way that we say "Hello" in Uchinaaguchi

Before you eat your food, say "Kwatchii sabira"

When you're done it's "Kwatchii sabitan"

And please say "please", "unigee sabira"

And "thank you", "nifee deebiru".

Lesson 3

This volume goes over a few phrases in their respective informal forms. These forms can be used when speaking with people younger than yourself, with friends, or with close family members.
