💡 Did you know? Garifuna uses different pronouns depending on whether the speaker is a man or a woman. For example: “I” is au for a man, nugía for a woman.
🥥 New: “Body & character” and “Food & culture” categories added, with expressions like ereba (cassava bread), hudutu (mashed plantain), or punta (traditional dance).
