CHAMORRO EXPRESSIONS


I was telling a lady that her closet was full of old tv's, broken toasters and unusable microwave ovens and that they were just taking up space.

She replied, "Ei, ti mangågågao na'-ña."

(Hey, it isn't asking for food.)

Language isn't just vocabulary.  It's also a mentality; an attitude; a perspective on life.
