Ninti at Ngaanyatjarra
Ninti - smart (you're ninti at this already!)
Wangka - talking (lot of wangka today...)
Walypala - whitefella (no guesses there)
Tjitji - kids (look at the little tjitji! ninti, hey)
Kunta - shy, ashamed (I was kunta at that meeting)
Palya - OK, good, no worries (the 'p' sounds like a 'b', and this is the second most useful word after yes/no)
Yuwa/ Wiya - yes/no
Tjurkurpa - the Dreaming, law, lore (most important of all)
Yuwa, palya, now you walypala are ninti at ngaanyatjarra! (don't worry, there's more to learn, but you've gotta start on this yiwarra somewhere)
