If I were you I rather get my a.ss to a Hmong funeral home, get rid of my pride and ask them to teach me, and even have them drag me to thank the people who offer donations or gift to the family.  ( That's how I learn, I got rid of my upscale pride ( having a prestige job, going to a well known university, received a good as.s good, making good as.s money, having bbq every weekend with friends and family but no shiat about my Hmong tradition) and now just beginning to understand the tradition, I know it'll be a long long way, but at least I admit my defeat).w

  you and me both bro...i am the same way..except the money part ...LOL  I just recently purchase a book that one of my uncles wrote.  It helped me understand the traditional ways.  I can't believe that I never learned some of these things when i was a kid.  To me, i feel like a part of me has return.   

Here's his book.

Here let me write what my uncle wrote...


Ua tsaug mog,
Yeeb vim peb xyom cuab tsev mob tsev tuag tsev puas tsev ntsoog,
Koj xav neej xav tsav,
xav txheeb ncwm txhua,
Nyiaj txiag qas ntos tuaj pab peb nta dab nta qhua ntseg ntws puav tam ncej txawb.

Hnub qab nram lub tsis yog peb xyom cuab ua neej xws laug ces yuav nco ntsoov koj tus txiaj ntsha txiaj ntsig,
yog peb ua lub neej tsis xws luag ces yuav nrauj ncua koj tus txiaj ntsha txiaj ntsig rau nraum toj nraum dawm ua tshauv ua thee yaj no mog.


Thank You!
It is because our shochoua family of death and ruin,
you value our kinship,
you kindley give to help us resurrect our religious convictions firmly like a pillar.

In the Future,
If we live well like others, we will never forget your generosity.
IF we don't live like others, then your generosity will vanish like charcoal and ash.



What the Benefactor might say back:

Txhob ua tsaug mog!
Peb kev neej kev tsav los twb ua lub neej zoo tsis xws li luag,
muab yam tsis tsheej yam tsi tsis tsheej tsi,
twb muab tsis tau ib yam dab tsi tuaj teev tsis tau nej tsev xyom cuab lub kua muag es tsis txhob ua tsaug mog. Sawv!



There is no need to thank!
We relatives don't lead lives like others,
we cannot bring anything to help you.
We cannot help to hold back your tears,
so do not thank.
Please stand up!
