hadá'í (male speaker)
hayáázh (female speaker)
Paternal Uncle:
hazhé'é Yázhí
Mother's sister's husband and father's sister's husband: haadaaní
In Navajo, family terms like this must be in a possessive form. To say my uncle take away the ha and add "shi". To say your uncle add "ni". His/her/it's uncle "bi".
Our or your uncle add "nihi"
There are more but I will keep it simpler.

∙ 10y agoThe personal pronoun is "shi" in Navajo. As in other languages there is not a different word for "I" and "me".
Because of the very complicated grammar it is often embedded in the conjugation of the verb. You can't really translate English to Navajo one word to one word. For example, some words like family relationships and body parts must always be in the possessive. You can't really say "mother". You say "my mother "- shima', "your mother"- nima', "he/she/it's mother"- bima'. It is the same with "nose" - shichį́į́h, "eye"-shinááʼ , etc. Other times the fact that you are doing something is in the verb conjugation: "diné bizaad bóhoosh'aah ńt'éé'." means: I learned Navajo language. The "sh" means it was me. "diné bizaad bóhooł'aah ńt'éé'" means you learned Navajo.
Here is " to walk around" ( present tense):
- naashá - I walk around
- neiitʼaash - You walk around
- neiikai - He/she/it walks around
- naniná - We two walk around
- naahʼaash - You two walk around
- naahkai - Those two walk around
- naaghá - We three (or more) walk around
- naaʼaash - You three (or more) walk around
- naakai - They three (or more) walk around
Most Navajo action words have 9 different forms (12, if you count the 'second' third person form) that reflect the point of view and the quantity of those engaged in the action. Additionally, there are different conjugated forms of the same action depending on "tense", or more specifically the state of an act - not started, started and ongoing, started and completed, repeating, and so forth.

The marks make it high tone and the two "o"s means it is a longer o sound. Not that it is a "u" sound like it would be in English. Tones are important in Navajo. With out the high tone it means the word "not". As in "doo yáʼátʼééh da" - it is not good.

Traditional Navajo names are completely different. You can't really translate English names to them at all. The Latin meaning of Deanna is divine or holy so it could be Diyin At'ééd, holy girl.

Some traditional Navajo girl names are :Ádeezbaa'((she is going to lead a raid), Átsé Deezba (She is going first on a raid), Dlį́baa (Warrior Girl), Naazbaaa'(she went on a raid), or Asdzą́ą́łtsoii (yellow woman), and Ashiike Naakii ( the one with twin boys)
