Ten Tibetan words you must learn when you go to Tibet
The first sentence: Tashildler (good luck)
This is the most well-known Tibetan sentence, which means happiness and well-being in Chinese. At the celebration meeting of the 50th anniversary of the founding of Xizang Autonomous Region, leaders at all levels and people of all ethnic groups expressed this greeting intensively. When you go to Tibet, it is very authentic to express your blessing to the local people with this sentence.
The second sentence: Gunkamsang (hello)
When you first arrive in Tibet, you will find that the locals will put their hands together and bow their heads when greeting. Generally speaking, when we meet for the first time, we will say hello with "Gonkamsang", which is equivalent to "Nice to meet you" in English.
The third sentence: Toche (thank you)
Despite the cold and lack of oxygen, people in Xizang is very hospitable. They often express their welcome to their guests by offering Hada and offering tea. At this time, they will feel that their guests are very educated and respond to "Toche Na"!
The fourth sentence: sip and sip (cheers)
Drinking highland barley wine is an important way for collectors' children to entertain guests. In particular, there is a custom of "three sips and one cup": when a guest takes a sip, the host will fill the cup for you to take another sip, then fill it, invite the guest to drink the third sip, and finally fill the cup and drink it dry. When a guest says "Xiabuda" and gulps down the wine in the cup, the Tibetan people will think that the guest is a bold and tough guy or a "female man".
The fifth sentence: Chasu, Cha Amo? (Buttered tea or sweet tea)
There is a habit of drinking tea all over Tibet, the most common ones are butter tea and sweet tea. The host often asks the guests, is it just Sue and Amo? If the guest says tea Yao Su or tea Amo, the host will know which kind of tea you like.
The sixth sentence: Aranggaboyu (I love you)
Although the natural environment in Tibet is harsh, there are many touching love stories, especially those of Songzan Gambo and Princess Wencheng. Tell your beloved "Aranggaboyu" quickly!
The seventh sentence: dumb glug (great)
When they arrive in Tibet, many people will sincerely admire the amazing beauty of Tibet. At this time, you can use "dumb glug" to express "great", "beautiful" or "well done" and so on.
Eighth sentence: La (showing respect)
Tibetans are a very polite people with strict seniority. In order to show respect, when the younger generation speaks to their elders, they often add a word "la" after their names. If the other person's name is Tashi, it's called Tashi Lala, and "La" is not a modal particle.
The ninth sentence: hunting silk (good)
This is the most commonly used spoken language in Tibetan daily life, which is used to express positive response. If a friend invites you to the entrance of Jokhang Temple at three o'clock in the afternoon, "hunting silk" is the most appropriate answer.
The tenth sentence: Jess has (see you next time)
People who go to Tibet will have a strong Tibetan complex. When they leave, they often say from the heart, "Tibet, goodbye, I will come again." At this time, you can use "Jay You Jie" or greet your friends.
