How do you say go in Navajo?

Answer 1

How do you say "go away" in Navajo

Answer 2

The WORDS that mean "How are you doing?":

Hait'áo naniná? or

Haa lá ánít'é?

These are not really conversation starters but regarding the health of person spoken to and becuase you know they were sick. In some cases it might be a little rude abrupt or even seem like you are checking if they are getting sick because you hope that.

If you add A̜a̜' at the begining it means "open up" or "tell me about it" and it is more polite.

Here are some ways to start a conversation:

A̜a̜' ha'íí baa naniná?--What are you doing?

A̜a̜' ha'íí baa nídinídzá?--What will you be doing?

A̜a̜' ha'íí baa nisíníyá?---What were you doing?

A̜a̜' háágóó díníya?---Where are you going?

A̜a̜' háágóó nisíníyá?----Where did you go?

A̜a̜' háádé̜é̜'?----Where are you from?

A̜a̜' háádé̜é̜'ísh yínááł?---Where you coming from?

A̜a̜' ha'íí baa dahane'?---What's the news?

A̜a̜' ha'íí daha'ní?-----What's the gossip?

A̜a̜' ha'íí hodoo'niid?---What was said?

A̜a̜' ha'íí?----What's up?

There are many ways to inquire "how are you?" Two more, expressions not as common in modern language are:

1. Haala 'ahoodzaa? -- An old expression usually between family or friends who have not seen each other in quite some time and used formally to update one another. An English equivalent may be an expression among friends who say "What's been going on?" or "How have you been?" Both of which suggest some time to be spent together to update one another.
2. Haalane'ii - Another old expression, usually used among family members or loved ones which connotes close emotional bonds.

Answer 3

hágoshį́į́ --you're welcome ( in response to thanks)

t'áá 'áko

lą́'ąą

Yá'át'ééh-- as in "greetings, welcome!" ( also hello) Meaning "it is good"

Answer 4

There is really no definite answer to this question. The closest I can think of is

'aoo'

literal definition is yes. If said after 'Ahééhee', then the 'aoo' becomes and "Implied" you're welcome.

Answer 5

There is no direct translation that I know of.

tłʼóoʼdi -- might be close. It means more like outdoors than nature.

The tłʼ sound is very hard, you make a tl sound while holding your breath in your throat. The two o's mean it is a longer o but the first o is high tone because of the mark above it, so this is a falling tone long o. The mark after that before the d is a glottal stop.

Answer 6

Shik'is -- MY sibling of same sex, friend, brother/sister, son of mother's sister or father's brother (if male speaker) or daughter of female speaker.

My comrade, partner, spouse, friend, pal: Shich'ooní

To be a friend of his/her (and he is a friend of mine):

Bił k'é'ahidish'ní

k'ébidishní -- to be his friend ( to address him as a relative)

Try the Navajo Word of the Day site search for "friend" to find a good sound clip.

(not sure why the Navajo script that usually works is looking so strange.)

Answer 7

I believe this is how, however I'm not sure of the spelling so I will spell it like it sounds... ha diesh ah bona ah

Answer 8

Diné nishlį́.

Navajo is/am/are

or the full more formal

Shí éiyá/éí Diné nishlį́.

I (marker, not sure how to describe this word) Navajo is/am/are

Answer 9

Yah'tee'ee shi ee _________ Yinshi
