This 't͡ɕalisʰtosʰeki/jalittoseki/자릿도세기', what is that?

i t͡ɕali- t͡ɕalisʰtosʰekika musʰikə hən kə

You say that to an older piglet.

t͡ɕalisʰtosʰekien hən kənɨní tol- t͡ɕə t͡ɕuŋ tʷeat͡ɕisʰek͈i kɨ əlil t͈e pəsʰə nan kəsʰkola t͡ɕalisʰtosʰekien kontake

When what happens as a piglet?

əlil t͈e mʷisʰikə?

Well you know that just when they're born they are as small as little puppies, right?

əli- əlil t͈enɨn mak kaŋat͡ɕisʰek͈imans͈ik hət͡ɕi aɲənia tʷet͡ɕisʰek͈i nakɨne kʰə- kɨmpaŋ nal t͈ɛn

Yeah.

ə ə əŋ

Have you ever seen piglets getting born? When they drop out, one by one?

kə nɨ tʷet͡ɕisʰek͈i nan kə pa pan pokɨlpokɨl nal t͈ɛ

One by...

pokɨl pok-

Have you seen piglets being born?

tʷe- tʷɛat͡ɕisʰek͈i mak sʰek͈i nan kə papan

I just saw the little ones.

kɨɲaŋ hɒk͈ɨlːak hən kən pasʰuta

When they are tiny, just born, when they are suckling haging on their mother's udder.

t͡ɕ͈ɛt͈ɨk- t͡ɕ͈ɛk͈ɨlːak həl t͈e kɨmpaŋ nan kəsʰtəl kiɲaŋ mak emi mak t͡ɕəsʰ məkɨməŋ mak p͈ɛsʰteki mak tolat͡ɕiəŋ hənɨn kə

Yeah.

ə ə əŋ

That, that.

****

Yeah.

ɨŋ

So then they are tiny, like little puppies.

kənan kɨt͈ekinɨn t͡ɕ͈ok͈olːak hət͡ɕuke tʷet͡ɕi kaŋat͡ɕi sʰek͈ikət͡ɕ͈i t͡ɕ͈oman hən ke

Tiny.

t͡ɕ͈oman hən

So with that, you know in the past,

kəm it͡ɕe kɨe t͡ɕ͈ok͈ɨm jesʰnalenɨní

nowadays they don't have the 'thongse/tʰoŋsʰe/통세' (pig stalls), right?

jot͡ɕɛ josʰ- jot͡ɕɨmɨn ilən t͡ɕip t͡ɕisʰintinɨn it͡ɕe tosʰ- tʷeat͡ɕi tʰoŋsʰe hekɨne ant͡ɕilːwamsʰt͡ɕanhə tʰoŋsʰi

But back in the days with our thatched-roof houses, they were everywhere.

kənti enːale t͡ɕʰokat͡ɕip həl t͈en ta isʰəsʰt͡ɕuke

Every house had one, you would go there to do your business, you know.

kɨ tʰoŋsʰika ta isʰəsʰə kɨti kakɨneŋa mak kɨ pʲəntu pokokːí

Yeah.

ᵻ̃

Well then the pigs would eat that, you know.

kɨmɨn mak tʷet͡ɕi məkkuk he nasʰieke

Yeah.

ᵻ̃

So then, when you keep them like that,

kəŋ həməŋ t͡ɕilːɨl t͈emɨn it͡ɕe tʷet͡ɕikaí

now who was that,

iti iti t͡ɕə nukeku t͡ɕə

here wasn't there a dog in that house where you passed?

jo joti kaŋat͡ɕi int͡ɕike jo apʰ t͡ɕipe kaŋat͡ɕi isʰt͡ɕi aɲənia

Yes, yes.

ɨm ɨm ɨɨɨm

When they get about that big,

kɨmans͈ikɨn kʰə kamɨní

you call them that way, when they take off their 't͡ɕalisʰme/jalisme/자릿메'.

t͡ɕalisʰtosʰekien konta i t͡ɕalisʰmeka pəsʰən t͡ɕ͈om kʰ-

So when they are past that tiny size and have become a middle-sized pig.

kʰɨkika t͡ɕ͈ok͈olːak hən kə pəsʰə nan t͡ɕ͈okɨm t͡ɕuŋsʰtosʰekika tʷesʰten heəŋ

"Oh, it's shed off that 't͡ɕalisʰme/jalisme/자릿메', it's a 't͡ɕalisʰtosʰeki/jalittoseki/자릿도세기'."

əiku t͡ɕalisʰtosʰe- t͡ɕalisʰme pəsʰən t͡ɕalisʰtosʰeki

But, so you say 'shed off the 't͡ɕalisʰme/jalisme/자릿메''?

kɨnti t͡ɕalisʰme me pəsʰən

Yes, you 'shed off the 't͡ɕalisʰme/jalisme/자릿메' '.

t͡ɕalisʰme pəsʰən

't͡ɕalisʰme/jalisme/자릿메'?

****

It 'shed off the 't͡ɕalisʰme/jalisme/자릿메' ', the piglet.

t͡ɕalisʰme pəsʰəne tosʰekika

What is that 't͡ɕalisʰme/jalisme/자릿메'?

t͡ɕalisʰmeka mʷisʰikəmas͈ɨm

't͡ɕalisʰme/jalisme/자릿메' means that the piglet is growing to become a more middle-sized pig.

t͡ɕalisʰmeen hən kən t͡ɕ͈omːí t͡ɕuŋkan t͡ɕʰiki kanten hənɨn kə

It means it shed off the 'young appearance'.

kə əlin kəsʰi pəsʰə t͡ɕiəsʰten hənɨn mal it͡ɕuke

It means that the 'piglet period' has passed for them, and they got a little bigger now.

ə- əlin kənɨn it͡ɕen nəmə kako t͡ɕ͈om kʰɨka- kʰəsʰten hənɨn sʰoli

So if it was a human, like, a little child?

kenan inkan aimɨn hɒs͈əl jɒk- jɒka nan kə?

Yes, a more mature child.

hɒs͈əl kʰɨnː ai jɒkɨn ɛki

So,

kenan

Like a two, or three-year old child.

t͡ɕ͈ə hɒn tu- tu- tu sʰɒl sʰe sʰɒl tʷen ɛkikət͡ɕʰiluk

So a piglet that has shed off its 't͡ɕalisʰme/jalisme/자릿메'...

kenan t͡ɕalisʰme pəsʰɨn

Now,

it͡ɕen

"like a piglet that has shed off its 't͡ɕalisʰme/jalisme/자릿메' with that smooth skin, it's pretty, isn't it?", you can say.

t͡ɕalisʰ- t͡ɕalisʰmetosʰeki- t͡ɕalisʰme pəsʰin tosʰekikət͡ɕʰi ment͈ɨlːak hən ke koptaí

Ah this is how you say it?

əː kʲəŋ kɒtnɨn kə

But how,

kenti ət͈əŋ

Hahaha, and,

ahahaha kəŋhəko

But why is a piglet that has shed off its 't͡ɕalisʰme/jalisme/자릿메' smooth?

kenti musʰa t͡ɕalisʰme pəsʰin tosʰekika mentɨlːak heə

Well, you know, rather than when it's young,

kɨɲaŋí kɨ əlil t͈e potan int͡ɕe

you know like when it gets middle-sized and when children get prettier when they grow,

t͡ɕuŋkan t͡ɕʰiki tʷeəŋ t͡ɕ͈ok͈om a- ɛkitəl kʰə kamin ep͈ə t͡ɕitɨsʰ mak

you know they grow prettier, smiling all the time, right?

pit͡ɕakpit͡ɕak usʰiməŋ jep͈ə t͡ɕit͡ɕi aɲəniake

Yeah.

ɨɨm

Well then, pigs too, their fur gets all smooth and the black thingies become pretty.

kɨmɨn int͡ɕe tʷeat͡ɕitu kɨ tʰəltu mak mentɨlːak həku mak sʰɛkʰamaŋ hən ke mak kopt͡ɕuke

Then you say that this child, like a piglet that has shed off its 't͡ɕalisʰme/jalisme/자릿메',

kəmɨn it͡ɕen t͡ɕali- t͡ɕalisʰme pəsʰinɨn tosʰekikət͡ɕ͈i i ɛkitu

"Oh this smooth thingy, it shed off its 't͡ɕalisʰme/jalisme/자릿메', it's getting prettier."

eiku ment͈ɨlːak hən ke k͈optak he kamsʰt͡ɕə t͡ɕalisʰme pəsʰən

So you say it that way?

kʲəŋ kɒtnɨn kək͈ʷa

Yes, this is how the old people say it.

ᵻ̃ kɨt͡ɕʰiluk keŋ mak halmaŋtəli kʲəŋ kɒlt͡ɕuke

So when you say it this way,

kənan kʲəŋ kɒnan

[younger] people don't have a clue of what you're talking about and...

t͡ɕəɲːə mʷisʰikə mʷisʰin malsʰantito ala t͡ɕit͡ɕi mosʰ heən

So our grandchild, a girl, she's sixteen now, so,

kənan uli sʰont͡ɕinɨní t͡ɕit͡ɕip͈ai sʰont͡ɕi int͡ɕe jəljəsʰəsʰ it͡ɕuke hənane

"Oh your face, the skin is so smooth and beautiful", I say,

eiku əlkuli pʰipuka mentɨlːak heŋɨne konan hənan

"Mum, what does that [word for smooth] mean?"

əmːa ment͈ɨlːaki msʰikə

So not even the word for 'smooth' she knows?

kə mentɨlːak həten han malto molːa

I said "ment͈ɨlːak/멘뜰락, that means that your skin is beautiful", so

ment͈ɨlːak hənɨn kə ment͈ɨlːak hən kən ke jəŋ i pʰipuka jep͈ɨten hənɨn mal hənane it͡ɕe

she said "mum, what does that mean? What does it mean, 'it shed off its 't͡ɕalisʰme/jalisme/자릿메' "?

əmːa t͡ɕal- kə musʰin mal t͡ɕalisʰme pəsʰinɨn kə musʰin sʰoli

Well of course she doesn't understand, so,

molːɨt͡ɕuke kəŋ hənane

when it comes to you, "wow, this kid here, there's nothing he doesn't know",

nin aiku jain t͡ɕal alan molːɨnɨn kə əsʰi

"since he's learnt so much Jejuan",

t͡ɕə- t͡ɕet͡ɕu sʰatʰuli pewa nonan i

"he knows it so well", I said.

molːɨn kə əsʰi t͡ɕal anten həməŋ mak kəŋ heŋ isʰəsʰie

So my daughter said, "tell him that, what you just said!"

kaiant͈i kola t͡ɕupsʰəke kɨ malto

Hahaha.

hahaha

So I learnt it well then!

kənan t͡ɕal pewasʰinke

Well this is what we've grown up hearing so often from old people!

No, I mean myself.

I think I learnt it quite well.

Yeah...
