These words are simple and you should easily be able to incorporate them into your English conversations. The word for "thank-you" is (S-gi). Often times you will hear (Wa-do), which is mainly from the western dialect. Remember, to pronounce (s-gi) properly you need to make the (sh) sound. S-gi "Thank you" Giduwah dialect or Eastern dialect Wa-do "Thank you" Western dialect Another word that you will hear and use often is (ha-wa). (Ha-wa) translates into "all right" or "ok". Here are some examples of when you would and would not use (Ha-wa). Someone says to you, "I will see you tomorrow." You would reply (Ha-wa). Someone asks you "Do you want this?" Do not reply (Ha-wa). Someone asks you "Are you ok?" Do not reply (Ha-wa). Someone asks you "Are you ready to go?" You would reply." (Ha-wa) let's go". Someone tells you "Someone is waiting for you?" You would reply." (Ha-wa) I will be there in minute". For exercise, make these two words (s-gi) and (ha-wa) a part of your daily language. FOR ALL SUBSCRIBERS TO THE CHEROKEE LESSONS I want to say (sgi) for your patience. If you are trying to get back lessons please go through the steps below to get all back lessons. I would also recommend that everyone get a Cherokee syllabary chart. This chart will help you learn the phonetic system that I am using, but you will also get a chance to practice writing in Cherokee. *For new members-If you have just started receiving lessons you can go to http://www.listbot.com, click List Subscribers and enter your member information, click (View List Archives), click (Cherokee Language Lessons) and choose the back lesson that you need. .
