What is does "Nuchingusui" mean in Japanese, please?
Hello, could anyone help me to understand what "Nuchigusui" is, please?
The word is used in a short film about Okinawa Island. I am asked to translate it into Chinese.
I'd appreciate any help. Thank you!

ぬちぐすい（nuchigusui) is an Okinawan dialect, which literally means 「命の薬（inochi no kusuri)」.
ぬち＝命＝life
ぐすい＝薬＝medicine
It can mean anything that heals you in anyway. Or anything that makes you feel good and cheers you up.
Delicious food, beautiful scenery, someone's kindness, mother's love etc.
