13. Please speak slowly. = Tartiib ing hadal

Please remember each language has its own unique interperetation so some word may not exactly mean other, specially the written and spoken words.

before you learn phrases it is important to understand the common words, i assume that you understand them.

Some clarification of above phrases;

the word Mi is associated with No, i.e. Don't, isn't, won't etc. however No will mean Maya.

Idi = home
Aloolih = Stomach
Hafiis = Office
Tartiib = Slowly
Hadal = Speak
Ki naga = Repeat

Hope this will assist, if you need more just puzz me on the email above
