Amay-am is a one-word sentence in a Kankanaey dialect which semantically translates to "take it easy" or "be careful". It is usually given by an elder as an advice to someone who is going through an extra-ordinary venture.
The same word is used for the same purpose in the Ibaloi dialect.
Am-amay-am ta adi ma-iwasit. (Kankanaey) = Be very careful so that it will not be thrown away.
