Weaving the strap for the bag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of my Nahuatl friends knows how to weave well.\u00a0 A while ago, she wove several bags for us from yarn that we had provided her.\u00a0 She did a good job and I had been meaning to ask her if she wanted to weave another bag.<\/p>\n

So, when she stopped by the house one day, I quickly checked how to say the verb “to weave” again as I had just recently learned it.\u00a0 With the verb in my head, I created the sentence, “Do you want to weave again?<\/em>”<\/p>\n

She looked at me a little funny and said, “What did you say?<\/em>”<\/p>\n

I said again, confidently, “Do you want to weave again?<\/em>”<\/p>\n

She looked at me again and said, “Like…. What did you say?<\/em>”<\/p>\n

I thought, “Oh no, I’m not communicating.”\u00a0 So, I said, “What I just said, what did it mean?<\/em>”<\/p>\n

She replied in Spanish, “You said, ‘Do you want to lay’ you know, like a chicken lays an egg.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

Everyone in the room laughed and I learned to proper way to say, “Do you want to weave again?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
