Nauhak lam expert pawlin nau hak cu an hmuhnak leh an hmuhmi ihsin tampi an zir sawn an ti.

4)    Inn sungsang hrimhrim ah kan ṭong kan hmang ringring a ṭul. Himi ruangah fa le thawn kawk awk phahphah nak khal tong kan tampi dingnan, man neimi kawk awk nak a si ih, an upa vivo tikah an thiehthiam leh dingih an lungawi tuk leh ding.

An tam tuk tikah, ram tampi hrangah pursum leilawng tuahnak dingah a ṭha tuk. Chin mi khal cithlah kan karhzai tir a ṭul zet. Mizoram tla cu mipum karhzai dingin an forhfial awkih, bawmnak tivek khal an pe awk. Mipum karhzai ding hi kan miphun karhzai le hlo lo nak dingah thupi zetmi a si ve.

8)    Himi hmuahhmuah lakih a thupibik mi pakhat cu Pathian hngilhlo ih, Pathian thu le hla thawn kan kaihhruai awk thiam ding hi a si.

Midum pawl si le, thinlung ah “misual, mize” ti deuhin a tlangpi in mitthlam ah an lang. Mirang si le cu “ṭihzah” deuhnak thinlung ah a um.

Cuvek thotho in, Chin mi teh miphun dangih theih leh mihhmuh ah ziangtin in hmu timi a thupi zet. Chin mi USA ih tam deuh ih um khawmnak khua  hrekkhat ih zung (office) hrekkhat le hnaṭuannak hrekkhat ahcun, Chin ti veten cu “mihrawkhrawl, mibum hmang, cathiamlo, thu ngai duhlo” ti in in hmutu tampi an um zo (Kan si ṭheh tinak silo, hmun hrekkhat ahcun hminṭha ngah an um).
