TODAY'S CHAMORRO WORD : CHÅLEK

itsvizag.com
CHÅLEK : to laugh

The experts are telling us about the physical and psychological benefits of laughing.  The older I get, the more I seem to be able to laugh.  More and more at myself.

Håfa na chumåchålek hao?  Why are you laughing?

Mañåchalek siha.  They are laughing.

Chålek nai!  Go ahead and laugh!  (sometimes said sarcastically)

Na' chalek.  Laughable.  Funny.

Kao na' chalek?  Is it funny?

Chumålek halom = to smile.  Literally it means "to laugh inwardly."

Chakka chalek-mo/-ña = the squeal or outburst of one's laughter


GOF NA' CHALEK ESTE!
