Two examples from the book

In the dialogue, Ana asks Pedro who he lives with:

¿Pikunawanmi tiyanki?

Who do you live with?

Pedro answers

Mamaywan, taytaywan, wawqiywanmi tiyani.

I live with my mother, my father and my brother.

Ana answers

Mamaywan, ñañaywan, awichaywanmi tiyani.

I live with my mother, my sister and my grandmother.

These answers belong to these characters. Learn each one as a complete phrase; you do not need to replace family members or analyse the endings.

The English translations and kinship terms are still under review.
