Hey Michael, I'm tired. Would you mind driving for a while?

Hei, Michael, ka bang. Malte na mawng le pawi na ti maw?

Sorry. I would like to, but I don't know how to drive.

Sorry, ka mawng duh nan, motor mawn ka thiam lo.

Really? You don't have a license? I thought everyone had a license.

Si maw? License na nei lo maw? Zokhal license an nei theh ah ka ruat si.

No, I've lived in cities all my life and when I'm at home I usually take the subway or bus.

Aih, khawpi sungah ka damsung ka um ih inn ka um tikah subway lole bus lawnglawng in ka feh theu.

I see. Do you think you'll learn to drive in the future?

Si maw. Leh hnu ah motor mawn na zir leh ding na zum maw?

Yes. I plan to buy a car next year. I think you need one in the U.S.

Aw, hmaikum ah motor pakhat lei ka tum. US ahcun a tul ti in ka ruat.

Actually, now that I think about it, a lot of people in cities here take the bus also.

Ngaingai ah, tu hi ka ruat rero, khawpi sung ih mi tampi cu bus in an feh ve ko.

Well, I'd like to travel more. I've been here for a few months already and I feel like I haven't seen anything yet.

Si e, voi tam deuh vahsuah ka duh. Thla rei lo te lawng hi tawk ah ka um lai ih zianghman ka hmu hrih lo in ka thei aw aw.

How are you going to learn to drive? Do you want me to teach you?

Ziangtin motor mawn na zir ding? Ka lo zirh na duh maw?

No, I wouldn't want to trouble you. I've already signed up for a class near my house. It starts next month.

Aih, ka lo hnaihnawk duh lo. Kan inn kiangih a zirnak ah ka up aw zo. Hmai thla in ka thawk ding.
