How to say give him a cup of tea in Minnon language


Often when you come to someone house in Asia, especially far east, the house owner will be so polite to serve you a cup of tea. Or if the house owner is rich then he will ask his house servant to serve you a cup of tea.

In Minnon language, Give Him a cup of tea = Hor E Chit Au (phui) Teh!

Give = Hor
Him = E
One = Chit
Cup = Au
Tea = Teh

Most of the time you will hear Minnon people say phui in Minnon as a cup instead but actually the right word for cup in Minnon language is Au. Phui is a word which has been largely influences by the Han Chinese word of Phei thus it is not a Minnon original word to describe cup!

In the next few coming lessons I will start to concentrate on phrase in Minnon such as this one!
