Title: Xyom Cuab ua tsaug nram tsev pam tuag
Post by: Reporter on September 15, 2017, 08:48:21 AM

Xyob Cuab is the term used for the deceased gift receiving relatives, the immediate family in particular. Here's what Xyom Cuab says each time a money donation is made. (Hum in a flowery way though.)



Oh, koj nyiaj txiag nto, tuaj pab peb Xyom Cuab nta dab nta qhua ntseg log, puav tam ncej txawb.
Hnub no peb txim tau tso peb tseg lawm.
Hnub qab nram lub ntsis, yog peb kwv tij txiv tub txawj ua neej
Ces yuav nco koj tus txiaj tus ntsim.

Txawm tsis txawj ua neej, los koj tus txiaj ntsa
Peb yuav nqa;
Tus txiaj ntsim,
Peb yuav ris
Nawb.
Es ua koj tsaug.

Msispelled it. Should be xyom cuab, not xyob cuab.

See what I did there?

It took me this long to see that, too.

Today, I came back onto this forum and was trying to see who was posting this topic up and what it meant. Then I realized I am the poster and that it's not the correct spelling.
