    I won't admit to being able to converse fluently in Quechua, but I have run across a few words here and there that can be of use in your wasi at AW that I thought I'd post here. *grin*

    Quechua Proverbs:
    Ama suwa, ama llulla, ama q'ella
    Do not steal, do not lie, don't be lazy

    Imaynatan munanki chaynallatataq munasunki
    Just as you love others, they will love you

    Karun purina pisiqtaq k'oqao
    A lot of work but not much to eat

     

    Conversational pieces:
    Yusulpayki - Thanks
    Imamanta - You're welcome
    Yanaparuwankimanchu - Can you help me?
    Munaychan wasiiki - What a pretty house you have
