In the rare Mayan Language, Q'eqchi', phrases that are common in English are very different. For example, the closest translation of "How are you?" is "Is there happiness in your heart?" or "Is your heart content?" These kinds of of tricky translations are what make it important for interpreters to be familiar with linguistic nuances found in Q’eqchi’. Once you understand these differences, it helps make communication much clearer. #learnqeqchiwithus
