Tingriya Anyone?

Mekelle is in the Tingray region of Ethiopia.  It is north of the captial Addis Ababa.  The local language is Tingriya.  Meredith's first instinct is to speak Spanish but she quickly finds that there is a "smile" or no response!  If you want to say "thank you", it's  "ÿeQenyeley" (pronounced "you", ""gone", "you", "lay") and morning is "ngho" (prounounced "N"and "goo").  If your tongue is doing cartwheels, you would fit in with Jim and I.  The words are long and complicated......if we learn two to three words each day, we will be doing well!   

 

Today, our day will be spent at the care center with Ä", "G", and "T".  We are hoping that our girls will help us learn a bit of the language!!  Jim and I would love to post some pictures of them but we will need to wait until after we receive a court decree declaring them officially "forever"ours!! 

Meredith and Jim :)
