How do you learn the language? I‘m interested in but i can’t find an lesson

Not only had we forgotten what the words meant, we had forgotten what our own greetings meant. "Peace on earth, goodwill towards men, God be with you, be safe"

So glad we have this on video. Otherwise, it would just be forgotten and lost to time.

I just want to let you know that I have been watching your videos almost obsessively. I'm going through an extremely rough time in my life right now and to be honest, I have been depressed. Your videos and your teachings give me so much to think about and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I've watched a couple of your videos so far and have really enjoyed how wonderfully informative and interesting they are, and the loving way you talk about everything. I was so glad you had a video on this, we looked at a house as a potential purchase today with Yá’át’ééh painted on the front door. After looking it up and listening to your video I love it and definitely wouldn't change it if we bought. So neat. Thank you!

The native Hawaiian language never had a good bye either. Aloha which means hello, good bye , and love was used. However, this word and its meaning has been lost in translation over time and people think of it as just a greeting. ALO -HA. Ha means breathe or the breath of life. ALO is a term of endearment. When combined, it holds a deeper spiritual, and emotional conveyance of feeling. The Ha or breath runs deep. Native's pasted on there breath before dying. There was no such thing as kissing. Heads bent forward with noses touching one another was sharing each others precious self in breath.

*Chi pisa la cho* There is no good bye in my culture either. Only "until our paths cross once more."

Something that I was told growing us as a Navajo young lady was that Hágóónéh. Meant come with me or let's go. Hágóó meant come here or let's go.. I never heard that term. But it's always good to here new and old teachings and to also come compare them.. Thank you Wally I do appreciate your teaching and words of knowledge. Yááhèèát.

I'm really moved seeing the Marine Corps medallian on the beaded necklace. That's very special. I'm sure there are many other languages where the "hello" and "goodbye" have more meaning, but I only have a shallow knowledge of a few languages. In Mandarin, a once-popular greeting was "ni chi le ma?" or just "chi le ma?" ("chur-luh-mah?" or "tsuh-luh-ma?" depending on the region) which translates to "have you eaten?" And a still-popular farewell is "man zou" ("mon zoh") which literally translates to "walk slowly" and means "be careful as you go".

Thank you, sir, for your wisdom and your service

Heck yess. Give immortality to your people's knowledge and ways!! This is a beautiful effort and I might not belong to your people, but I am moved to see this happening. May blessings rain down on you and your beautiful people. 🙏

Ya at eeh Mr. Brown! 💚☺🌎💚

I used to live in the Navajo in Newcomb NM. I loved it. I learned some things. I miss it. I learned through DNA I have roots through my grandmother side my father mother I am Navajo, my brother sent everything to the University of New Mexico still learning❤ 3:52

Thank you sir 😀👍🏼

I just gave an uber ride to some guys who speak Navajo. They pronounced yá’át’ééh a little bit different. It was more like yá't'ééh. The t sound was very aspirated and almost had an s sound after it.

This was very helpful!

Thank you sir 🙏🏻

You have guided me to internal peace. For that I thank you.

Ty so much for sharing, or as my people say meegewich,

this is literally just like me saying "Its all good" . . . .

I highly respect this man

If my ancestors wouldn't rush to the center of Europe and had gone instead of this to the North, who knows without connection to Persian, turcic, indo-european languages it would look exactly like navajo. That eruptive sounds is so similar to ours.

Thank you

In India we say Namastee 🙏 And we bow down, we bow down to the God that resides inside each one of us, and also it teaches us humility and love.

Crazy how different tribes have similar dialects. Paiutes have a similar greeting!

English:hello/welcome Navajo:yáʼátééh

In the year 1989 I had been near the Navajo reservation. There at little stores the word "Yah-ta-hey" was written. I thought it meant "store",

I love these videos and I love learning your language. Am I allowed to say these words? I have no one to say them to except my elder boss who studies Native American culture. When she reads history books we try to use phrases from Native American language but maybe we shouldn't do that.

Yá'át'ééh!👐

Ahéheeʼ so much Grandfather Wally and Shane. This adds to my understanding of how Yáʼátʼééh is used to mean one ʼlikes somethingʼ as well. Hágoonee as well. I love learning the deeper meanings of these words.

Advanced people= Navajo

Mr. Brown? is a good man, His videos Lifts me up so much. A lot of us are so sick of evil in this world!! His words of Wisdom is so comforting. I'm NDN& Irish.

I don't know for certain, but the Cheyenne say 'Aho', maybe someone thought they were saying 'How'? I know because I used to watch 'Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman' and the Cheyenne would greet each other saying that word. Maybe someone could clarify if it's true, as I am making an observation - when they say 'Aho', it sounds like 'How'.

It comes from the Dakota/Lakota language. Their word for 'Hello' is 'Háu'.

So it would be inappropriate to use that word nowadays, ahh? Because everything is not good. Most of it is bad.
