"The Response"
*******************************************************************************
When giving nyaj tshaav ntuj, the grieving family will acknowledge your support. They will recite poetic and ritual sayings to show their appreciation for your monetary support. In this video I provide you with a short saying that you can use when responding to their acknowledgement. You can add more to extend it or use it as it is because it covers the essential elements in conveying respect. I hope this helps!

Thank you for these educational videos. Much appreciated.
Dude, all you have to do, is never too late to learning it. Cuz you're Hmong thou, son.
Thnks brother,, I needed thus
Thank you!
My husband really appreciate your video as we will be attending our first funeral as “ntxais vauv.”
Thanks bro for sharing. Wisedom and generosiry is your heart
You're welcome! Thanks for your kind words
I went to a service today, a young man who I worked it. I had no clue what to do. Finally 2 different gentlemen came to explain what was happening. Can you post a video to address other nationalities on what to expect? Thank you
Subscribed! Thank you for explaining.
You're welcome!
Veterans day tomorrow

awesome! thanks for this video! keep them coming!
Thanks! Will do!
Probably the best explanation n very good subtitles so we can learn easier
i appreciate both videos brother! appreciate it Ua Tsaug npawg
This great info! Wish I had known your channel sooner! Love you skits too!!!
Great 👍🏼.. I find it funny that we hmong people naturally look away when we are giving thanks. I only noticed it when you said the full verse and reflected upon myself. Doesn’t matter if it’s at funerals or other gatherings. Why do we do that? We are able to say thanks to any other persons and look them in the eyes without issue. Are we that indirect as people as a culture? Lol. Just thoughts to put out there.. keep it up brother!
That’s because it’s about being humble and having humility.
Im not sure about the hmong culture but i know in other cultures, looking at people in their eyes is considered disrespectful. Could be something like that for us?
Zoo kawg le mas phoojywg
Keep it up cuz so us younger generation know wat to do much love
Awesome! Very educational video for the younder generation.😉🙂
I really do appreciate your videos. We as a younger generation will need to learn these sayings in due time. Keep up the great work brotha!
I couldn't agree more. Thanks and will do!
Yours is the most straight forward one.
Awesome brother, you should do how to thank a shaman
My elders tell me you can either say a lot or a little, but the words you have to say are "kuv/wb tuab coj tsi tau ib yaam dlaab tsi tuaj pauj tau mej lub kuas muag". "I couldn't bring anything to replace your loss." The beauty of the language is there's many ways to say it but the directional target is all the same.
Question from the outside: the family of a close friend of mine (Hmong) suffers a loss. I, not being Hmong or even physically capable of speaking the language, want to pay respect and show support to my friend and their family in a way that will not offend them. What would your advice be?
Great question! If you're not able to speak the language, you could still give the family a monetary gift. The family would still acknowledge your gift, but you wouldn't be expected to speak or do anything in return. It would not be offensive in any way for proving the family with sunshine money.
dictum dose Thanks so much for getting back to me! What’s a normally acceptable amount or range thereof?
The most common amount is $20. But the range is quite wide and any amount really is okay
Autumn Faraday I’ve seen it where persons who aren’t able to speak Hmong has donated and are thanked in the English language with similar verses so the person can understand. I’ve done it myself. You can easily respond with what is mentioned in the video in English too if you want.
what would I say if I'm coming as a single male guest?
Keep your contents flowing brother. There's nothing better and more beneficial than preserving our culture and language. Mad props to you. Your contents always come in clutch
Damn that's me I'm kinda ashamed that I had to come to this video to learn this... but thank u a lot
