Valentine’s Day in Oaxaca
by Ron Mader
It’s Valentine’s Day! Here in Oaxaca for the past few weeks we’ve been working with Mixe (Ayuuk) friends as they’re preparing a special meal this afternoon. Today we’re going to fill our hearts and our stomachs!
To get into the spirit, try pronouncing the Mixe (Ayuuk) expressions of love!:
To’k aa tö’k joot
De todo corazón te quiero
With all my heart I love you
Tsokï tö’k aa tö’k joot
Ama de todo corazón
Love with all one’s heart
Akijpxa ja tsojkïn ti yo’oyï
Ama a todos por igual
Love for all in an equal manner
Yï tsojkïn ka’a x’a’ix xpëjkïmpitït
Ama sin condición
Love without condition
