This programme was first broadcast in 2016.

This is not an accurate word-for-word transcript of the program.

Hinantin presents “Word of the Day”, a series of daily 1-minute podcasts (radio
features), that support your Quechua language vocabulary studies.

ANNOUNCER:

This is your Quechua minute for today, so you could be in the Know!
on the Go!

The Word of the Day is chukcha ["ÙUX.Ùa] (in QUZ ) (See

example 1).
(1) =chukcha
=hair
’hair, locks’
In English it means hair, locks, it is spelled:
c-h-u-k-c-h-a.
Now let’s repeat it 3 times: chukcha, chukcha, chukcha.

 Now listen to it in context (See example 2):
(2) Chay irqita p’aqlarquy, chukchasapam
=chay =irqi -ta =p’aqla -rqu -y =chukcha -sapa -m
=that =child -Acc =to.shave -Rptn -Inf =hair -MPoss -DirE
kachkan
=ka -chka -n
=to.be -Prog -3.Sg.Subj
’Shave that child’s hair, he is hairy.’
This sentence translated into English means ’Shave that child’s hair,
he is hairy’.

Now let’s listen the sentence twice:

First time:
Chay irqita p’aqlarquy, chukchasapam kachkan.
Second time:
Chay irqita p’aqlarquy, chukchasapam kachkan.
