Qallarinapaq | Introduction<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

In this unit we will learn greeting in Quechua and we will focus on frequently asked questions, for example, personal presentations, asking names, asking what a person does, where someone is from, and we will end with common ways to say goodbye in Quechua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many greetings to start a conversation, for example: \u00bfAllillanchu? <\/em><\/strong>which means How are you?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be used in formal and informal contexts, this short greeting is generally responded to in the following way:
allillanmi<\/em><\/strong> which means I am well.<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The form of address to one person or another in Quechua is based on the use of the terms brother and sister.<\/strong>To greet other people the terms brother or sister are used according to who you are speaking to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The terms to address other people are: \u00f1a\u00f1a, tura, pana and wawqi<\/em>.<\/strong> However, to address another person at the end of each word we add the first person possessive suffix \u00ab<\/strong>y\u00bb<\/strong>, <\/em>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En cases where the speaker is male wawqi <\/em>becomes wawqiy <\/strong><\/em>which means my brother<\/em> or pana <\/em>becomes panay <\/strong><\/em>which means mi hermana<\/em>When we say my brother or my sister the pronunciation accent goes on the last syllable. That is to say, it becomes an oxytone word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let's look at the following table of greetings and the use of the possessive suffix \u00aby\u00bb<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we have seen, the basic questions to begin a conversation are \u00bfallillanchu?<\/em> to ask how are you? and the other interlocutor responds with allillanmi <\/em>(I am well).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/em> The question \u00bfallillanchu?<\/em> in a literal translation to English would be are you good? but it is generally understood as how are you?.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
