If you a groom of course you gotta pay the bride's parents because "your mother-in-law went through so much pain giving birth" she fed you food, protected you, love you more than u can imagine. So it's a token u given to the bride's parents, showing how hard they have raise you.

Let me correct that for you. Hmong parents do not sell their daughters. The money given to them is a way of showing respect and it's also a token or a gift to the girl's family.

ob tug neeg fi xov tsis muaj txim txhaum tsis txhob cem thiab ntaus nkawd.

@LyricalLordz

No.......the correct correction is: The money for "Niam Txiv khaub tsho" is for showing respect to the bride's parent. The "nqi mis nqi no" is a promise to the bride's parent that the groom and his family will love, respect, and cherish the girl as their own family until the day she could no longer breathe.

Omg, his language sounds so much better than mine (I speak English, obviously.)  It's so much fun to listen to even though I have no idea of what he's saying.

[kuvibleegxwb]

sounds kinda cool. they're learning n having fun @ the same time. I think every instructor should do the same, teach n have fun @ the same time to make the class more creative thiab na.
