Nahuatl

Got my first tattoo (that can be seen outside my shirt). I’m very proud of it and want to expand my learning of the Nahuatl language, it’s really hard without being able to hear it spoken and having no one to speak it with this far north (Michigan US).

Came across this while skimming youtube vids.

INALI: miak xochitl chichiltik.

Many flowers are red.

Muchas flores son rojas.

Miac xochitl chichiltic

INALI: ma kwalli tahtonalli!

Have a good Father's Day!

Que tengas un buen día del padre!

Ma cualli tah-tonalli

INALI: Nipaki nimitsiximati!

I'm happy to meet you!

Mucho gusto!

Ni-paqui ni-mitz-iximati

INALI: Notoka crwcomposer. Tlein motoka?

My name is crwcomposer. What's your name?

Me llamo crwcomposer. Cómo te llamas?

No-toca _____. Tlein mo-toca?

INALI: tlein tikchiwa axkan?

What are you doing today?

Qué haces hoy?

Tlein ti-c-chihua axcan?

I find it pretty interesting that my fellow compatriots up north forget that this language is spoken by at least 1.5mil people.

I've seen far more interest from non native anglo north americans in Nahuatl that people that live in México and speak exclusively Spanish.

So yeah, are we allowed to have Spanish conversations here, is the community English exclusive?
