I once had a discussion with another Samoan where it was proposed that we “bury the hatchet”. I paused for a moment, then another . . . before refusing.

"sujinko - that's a great reminder for Samoans to protect our language and not corrupt it further by overdoing the slang thing. It just misleads the younger and future generations, and makes it harder for them to learn the language."

I assume this may be from a lack of comprehension of the Samoan language so I have included a few notes as guidance. You may either take it or leave it, but I would appreciate if we can share our thoughts in order to increase awareness for those who wish to… Continue
