We received the following message yesterday via our website. My Náhuatl is very rudimentary – I can vouch for the first and last words, but that’s it! Please could someone kindly do their best to correct what this Japanese correspondent has written:-<BR>
<BR>
“</SPAN><FONT SIZE="2"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:10pt'>I'm Japanese. Please teach me Nahuatl. <BR>
How to write in Nahuatl is not understood and it embarrasses it though I want to write the sentence of <BR>
"Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!". I’m keen to know.. </SPAN></FONT><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Please correct the sentence that I wrote. </SPAN><FONT SIZE="2"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:10pt'> <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
</SPAN></FONT><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'> The original text : Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!<BR>
In Spanish : ¡Feliz Navidad y próspero año nuevo!<BR>
</SPAN><FONT SIZE="2"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:10pt'> <BR>
</SPAN></FONT><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'> My sentence : Kuali Tlakatilisiluitl iuan tlasempaktiani yankuik xiuitl!<BR>
</SPAN><FONT SIZE="2"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:10pt'> <BR>
<BR>
</SPAN></FONT><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'> I'm sorry by poor English and Nahuatl. Thanks in advance. “<BR>
<BR>
At the end of the day (literally!) I’d just like to take the opportunity to wish everyone in this community a very Happy New Year and to say thanks for all the fascinating points that have been raised and explored this year.<BR>
