Hey John, can I talk to you for a minute?

Hei, John, rei lo te ka lo be thei maw?

Sure, what's up?

Thei tuk e, ziang?

I wanted to let you know about a book club I joined a couple months ago. I know you do a lot of reading so I thought you might want to come with me next month.

Thlahnihkhat rei zo ah cabu klan ka zawm mi thu ka lo sim duh. Ca tampi na siar theu ti ka thei ih hmai thla lam cu ka hnenah na ra duh ve ding ka zum.

Oh, that sounds like fun. When does the group meet?

Oh, a nuam zet ding a bang. Ziangtik ah saw a bur in an tawn awk theu?

Usually the last Saturday of the month at 9:30 in the evening. Is that too late for you?

Thlatin te zarhte neta bik, zanalam 9:30 PM ah asi theu. Na hrangah a tlai tuk maw?

No, I think that's ok. What do you talk about in the group?

Aih, a tha ko. A bur in ziangthu si an sim theu?

Well, every month we choose a new book and then during the next meeting we discuss it.

Aw, thlatin te cabu thar pakhat kan hril theu ih cule a bur in tawn awk khawm tikah a sungthu kan rel theu.

What book are you reading now?

Tufang ziang cabu si na siar rero?

The Kite Runner.

The Kite Runner

I've heard that's a good book. What's it about?

Cabu tha zet asi ti ka thei dah. Ziangthu si?

It is a good book. I'm almost finished. The book is about a boy who grows up in Afghanistan during the 1980s. It's called the Kite Runner because the main character takes part in a kite flying competition.

Hihi cabu tha zet asi. Ka siar theh zik te. Cabu sungthu cu 1980 hrawngah Afghanistan ramah a rak thanglian mi nauhak pa te thu asi. Kite Runner ih thu asi, ziangah tile cabu sungthu cangtu pa cu Kite thlah thu a tel ruangah asi.

That sounds really interesting. I'd love to come.

Phur um zet ding a bang. Ka ra duh ve ding.

Ok, great. The next meeting isn't for another two weeks, so you still have time to read the book.

Aw, a tha. Neta tawn awk khawm ding cu tui hnu zarhhnih hnu ah asi dingih cabu siar nak can na nei lai si.
