Welcome everyone; greetings to all of you — the standard everyday Refaluwasch greeting, equivalent to Chamorro "Hafa Adai".
Usage
The everyday greeting Refaluwasch speakers use across the CNMI when entering any space. Literally "greetings + you all" — a communal welcome. As essential to Refaluwasch as Hafa Adai is to Chamorro.
Cultural context
Cultural counterpart to Hafa Adai. The phrase you say walking into a room of Refaluwasch speakers — and you say it to the whole room, not one person, because the language carries that communal sense built in.
