NAVAJO READING & VOCABULARY CHALLENGE

[@ryandavis5962]

From Pinedale to Phoenix, Prescott to Prewitt, we know the native language all too much. They ask me if I speak a foreign language, I always answer with English. Lmfao awesome !! 🤪😜

[@whatwouldkittydo]

This is so cool. Navajo and Apache language are derived from athabascan so some words sound alike. Like teeth for you is awoo, for us is i'woo,different dialects I guess you can say. Good job ladies. This video definitely sets your channel apart from other native youtubers...Haha just heard her say go'lizhi 😂

[@SierraJohnson]

WhatWouldKittyDo Yes. One time I was listening to the Apache radio station and heard some words that were the same as ours. So cool. Thank you so much for watching. 😄 We need to plan our video.

[@whatwouldkittydo]

@@SierraJohnson yes girl, for sure. I'll hit you up soon to brainstorm

[@ellanina801]

Hey, just curious. Someone said the actually name that Apache people call themselves in the language, and I was wondering if I could get the spelling-or where to find it online? Thank you!

[@annej3387]

You both got me laughing! I’m trying to guess them too! Y’all to hilarious! 😂😂 👍🏽

[@michelletsosie4573]

Atsá Biyáázh, February is named for when the eaglets are born. Atsá = eagle and Biyáázh = her babies or young

[@MrJaiden360]

Yes! I love this! I also am on a journey to learn and to be able to speak my Native language! I know more now than before though! But I am learning too! :)

[@JayJayFromAZ]

Finally watched and had a great chuckle...Navajo Language is no joke...I was brought up with both my parents speaking and living in Phx as well...To this day I still can't speak fluently but I can understand what is being said to me. The Teeth and Necklace part made me laugh the most. Good vid!!

[@SierraJohnson]

Right. Grew up around the Navajo Language everyday and still am not fluent. Glad you had a great laugh.

[@MsYahdahlah]

That was a lot of fun. Almost felt like home. You all should continue doing a language series. It was fun.

[@adamsrosina]

Haha... Had me laughing on some words... Good job ladies... I enjoy watching your videos... I just recently started following your channel... Love it❤️

[@birdeenie0lsen416]

new items, new inventions, new discovery words are hard for me. I didn't know how to tell my mom about our broken sprinklers. Microwave, credit cards, cell phones, etc. are many of the words that I didn't know. I was raised by my very traditional grandparent and did not know a single english word when I started school. Now, when I visit the Rez, I find that all the children struggle with navajo language, including my kids and grandkids. Shame on me for not teaching them. You ladies are entertaining and good teachers. love this video.

[@phillipcase8096]

This was so FUNNY!!! Good video 👌🏽👍🏽 I'm Dzil Ligai Si'an Ndee, White Mountain Apache. Listening to you ladies and trying to guess the words I could basically understand what y'all are saying from and Apache point of view. But some of it? I can't stop laughing. Btw, skunk is the same word in Apache. When I need the restroom I say, "Excuse me, I need to go find a skunk.". 🤣🤣🤣

[@dma3663]

Such gorgeous ladies. 💕 Ahéhee’ for the video

[@MamaShugNBoyz]

I loved spending this time with you ladies. I was not raised knowing anything about my native culture but man the similarities! It was Ike being with family. I wish I knew as much as you. Maybe one day.

[@SierraJohnson]

Thank you. I hope to go back home and post more videos of being back on the rez. :)

[@lbia5122]

Awesome! & hilarious! You girls did GREAT!!!

[@deewilliams531]

That was hilarious!! Thanks for the laughs and Happy Thanksgiving. 💕👍👋😎

[@itshopebrittany]

How fun!! I want to try this LOL I can read Navajo pretty good but when speaking on the spot I am horrible.

[@SierraJohnson]

[@nativempress]

ST Fitness - Mind And Body ,Indeed, it's actually the hardest language to learn. The Navajo language was used during WW2 simply for that reason to help win the war. 28 Marines known as "The Navajo Code Talkers".

[@temw1960]

You’ve never heard of the Navajo language? Where have you been? Under a rock? LoL

[@RChattoo]

[@patriciaoloane1501]

My grandfather ( who was Mexican /American ) lived in a small mining town in AZ named Superior. He had many Navajo friends in the near by towns and became fluent in the Navajo language. I found it amazing because they say it's hard to learn. Kuddos to my GF who long passed.🦅

[@michaelwilson7140]

I'm southern plains Native. Was married to My Native Girl from Yanbito (probably spelling it wrong ). 22 years. She's passed. She's up on the hill. I miss her so much.

[@gummybear9466]

Keep that Dina' language up 👍no matter what 4 or future kids and on your video announce to the kids to talk Dina' in stores with each other or anywhere and don't be shy to talk Dina' in the city.. and we need to start using Dina' instead Navajo.. I am glad to be full blooded Dina'..😂👍

[@landersen8304]

That's Dine', not Dina', just helping!

[@albertamccrary1497]

[@hellogorgeous6004]

Great job ladies!

[@tachiniisun2739]

Navajo is my first language. After returning back to rez years later, I thought I'd test my words with mom. They were shearing wool and I meant to ask her , what should I do with the wool? But...Translation: i said.. mom what shall I do with your pubic hair? One syllable changed the entire meaning. 🤣😂🤷‍♂️

[@sidreddest296]

I might try to speak navajo,,, next big difference from our sioux,,,ayyyyyyyyee,,,which is the indian slang,,,nationwide,,,

[@coleennelson9357]

Yup Ladies. Just Like Life's Hard. So It's Very Important To Speck Your Native Tongue Lanuage. It Is Very Hard To Follow But If You Around It 24/7---365 Days You Will Understand Daily. Awesome. Great Video. Keep This Native Language Videos From Time To Time. We Ladies Are Strong Back--Bone To Keep Up Family Uplifting. I'm Still Learning And Remembering.

My son & nephew were about 5 yrs. old & they stayed with their grandparents. One day the nephew comes home from school all excited. Nephew: I learned a new Navajo word at school today! My son: What's the new word? Nephew: Golizhii! My son: That's not a new word, grandpa says that every night before we go to bed & it means go to the bathroom! LOL!
