Well, happy birthday to you, Daniel Andreasson, and to you, Roger Mills.
It was my birthday a few days ago as well.
Happy birthday in Yhe Vala Lakha?
|Maazhi fayatameni liyhaininai nyare!|
Be remembered of your birth the day!
(When |maazheri| precedes a verb, it is optative, means "may"; when it follws,
it is subjunctive, means "maybe".)

Mau e ki, "He aha te mea nui?"
You ask, "What is the most important thing?"
Maku e ki, "He tangata, he tangata, he tangata."
I reply, "It is people, it is people, it is people."
