Title: Help... I’m translating questions
Post by: TSAV PIB PIB on March 12, 2018, 07:25:31 PM
I’m stanslating a few things for our youth group and I have a couple questions I’d like to ask for help in translating .
Hopefully anyone here can help since this is kinda about Hmong culture ish... :)

What’s another way to translate  an anniversary?  Not birthday not wedding a general anniversary for some thing that’s lasted longer than a year ?

What’s another way of translating PRESIDENT  and VISE PRESIDENT.  Besides tus paj tha or paj tha loo ( which I think is a Laos word)
