Inspired by the tutorials given on "Native America Calling," I decided to do my own tutorials on simple word in the Navajo language, using phrases that would be useful in everyday conversations. Though phrases like, "We are hunting buffalo," are fun, I figured phrases for daily utility would be fun. Let's see how far this goes, lol! Today's Word of the Day is: béésh nitsikeesí. This means computer, or literally "the metal that thinks." I use it in a sentence by saying, "Shibéésh nitsikeesí shits'áá' dah hidiiyá,' which means, "My computer froze up on me." The breakdown; Shi: my Béésh (metal) nitsikeesí (thinker): computer Shits'áá': away from me Dah hidiiyá: got stuck/hung up Some people suggested I do words of the day. Let me know if you like these tutorials! :-)
