Title: What is this teeb teeb taim taim pus muag tsiv ntsiam?
Post by: highway on December 15, 2012, 04:41:13 PM

My mums says it's the hmong version of hide and seek. I'm a bit sad I didn't have any hmong friends to say this with as a kid --it sounds so cool!

The 'teeb teeb taim taim' is like a music sound and 'pus muag tsiv ntsaim' was suppose to be 'pos muag khiav ntsi nraim' but he couldn't speak hmong right so it sounded weird.  It translate to 'Close your eyes and hide'.  Does that help?  I use to play that all the time with my siblings in the 80's.
