Is there much fruit? mévá chaí thé?

Is there much grain in the village? as watné maz án cho thú?

How many taxes do you pay in the year? ek kál maz ketúk masúl diyáṇt tus?

Are you satisfied? tú khush-hál thú?

How is your health? tú uṇdáṇ arám thú?

I am in good health, arám thú.

Good temper, tabyát sáf.

Bad temper, tabyát asak.

God bless you, khudáé tigé barakat dé.

May God lengthen your life, khudáe tiṇ umar chai kare.
