▷對話：（本文非內容逐字稿，僅供參考）

Hey! maya’, What does ’ima SaSo’ mean in SaySiyat language?

’ima SaSo’ in SaySiyat means new. Saso’ 是「新」的意思，’ima SaSo’ 新聲報到是由原語會推出的全新族語教學podcast節目，不只有華語，我們更結合了族語和英語這三種語言，和你一起輕鬆學族語。

Yes. It is a brand new cross language podcast brought to you by ilrdf, Indigenous Languages Research and Development Foundation.

So when I first came to Taiwan, the first Indigenous language I encountered was Atayal, but now,after way more than ten years of living in Taiwan, this is my first introduction to 賽夏語, so maya’，節目剛開始的時候，你是用賽夏語在跟大家打招呼嗎？

對的！在節目的一開頭，我是有先跟大家打聲招呼。

那在賽夏語裡面打招呼：「大家好！」我們是說 ’ita’ saboeh kayzaeh!

Oh, how do we pronounce it?

好，那我們來試一次喔！

’ita’ saboeh kayzaeh!

’ita’ saboeh kayzaeh!

沒錯！我也想問問Dana，在英語裡面是怎麼樣打招呼呢？你們是說Hello嗎？還是說就像台灣英語課本裡面教的How are you? 通常Dana, 如果你要打招呼的話，你都是怎麼說？

我們會從 Hello或Hi開始。 We just like to keep it casual but we also like to say just like in your textbook here in Taiwan how are you. And when we really know someone then you can say What's up? Everything good? Or we can say How’s your day? How’s your weekend? It is really basic and easy.

And how about SaySiyat language 也會有不同的問候方式嗎？

有喔！像現在我們在族語課本上面學到的會說你好嗎？大家會說 So’o kayzaeh ay?

但以前老人家，他們其實都不太會這樣子去問候對方。那如果是我自己的話，我還有另外一個問候方法，就是叫So’o baba:ok ila ay?

So’o baba:ok ila ay? 這是什麼意思呢？

So’o baba:ok ila ay?翻成華語的意思就是你吃飽了嗎？

通常如果我在部落的路上遇到長輩的話，我都會問候他們這一句。

那對方可能就會回答我說yako baba:ok ila!

yako baba:ok ila!

對！這就是「我吃飽了！」的意思，或者可能他們也會回答說yako haysiya kitoyae’en.

yako haysiya kitoyae’en.

對！這個意思就是我還很餓，我還沒有吃飽。

喔！我發現在台灣很常問候的方式就是問你，你吃飽了嗎？在美國我們沒有這樣說。We only say how are you? Are you ok? But we don’t really say* are you full? Have you eaten?* So I think that is really interesting.

And maya’ you said something in your language that I did not understand in the beginning. Were you introducing yourself?

沒錯喔！在剛剛開頭的時候我也有介紹到我的名字，我的族語全名叫做maya’ a taboeh hayawan。maya’是我的名字，taboeh是我大舅舅的名字，hayawan是我家族的名字。

那在賽夏族名字的排列裡面呢，第一個會是自己的名字，第二個也就是中間會接爸爸的名字，最後才是自己的家族名。

我想問問看Dana，那你的英文名字又是怎麼樣命名的呢？

Yay. What you said is really fascinating. Your name is very long and it has a very interesting meaning. With English it is a little bit similar, but it’s also different. Like my first name Dana, that’s the name that was given to me. It’s my name. And it was given, of course, by my parents. And the middle name is this special name that can be from your family or even friends or someone in your community. And then your last name is your family name. That’s the name that’s passed down generations to generations.

So when you first meet someone, how do you ask them their name in SaySiat language?

我們如果第一次遇到對方，想要問對方叫什麼名字的話。我們賽夏語會說So’o Sin hiya’en?

So’o Sin hiya’en?

對，這個意思就是「你叫什麼名字？」那如果我們要回答的話，像我叫maya’，我就會說yako Sin maya’en.

那這個回答呢，它是比較正式一點的。通常都是會對長輩回答。當然也有簡短一點，簡單一點的方式，就會說yako maya’.

那如果Dana，有一天你到SaySiyat的部落裡面，有人問你說So’o Sin hiya’en?你叫什麼名字，你就可以回答說yako Dana.

yako Dana.

沒錯，好，我們來練習一次喔。So’o SIn hiya’en?

yako Dana. 我是Dana。

很好，恭喜你又會了一個句子囉。

Wow! This is really my first introduction to your beautiful language. Thank you so much for showing me this and I hope all of our listeners will learn how to speak it much better than me.

So now we are gonna try to repeat some of the words that we have learned today, Are you ready?

沒有問題！我們來練習一次。
