Cherokee Weather It's partly cloudy and it is going to rain. Ga-lo-ga-li-ye-s-gi nole dv-ga-hna-ni Formal Ga-lo-ga-li-ye-s-g nole dv-ga-hna-n Conversational (partly cloudy) and (it's going to rain) Note: When you pronounce the (hna) in (dv-ga-hna-ni) it has a nasal resonation when you say it. In our up coming lessons I am going to teach you how to say the five essential questions which are who, what, when, where and why. This will help our lessons go along way, so place close attention. We will approach each word one at a time and I will give you examples on how to use them. Our first word that we are going to learn is "who". Who? Ka-go Formal Ka-g Conversational Note: You can use this word as you would in English. For example if you didn't catch a name or someone is calling for someone and you need clarification of the person that they are calling. Just simply say (ka-go) "Who". Who is it? Ka-go i-yu-s-di Formal Ka-g-i-yu-s-d Conversational Note: In the conversational form I have purposely combined (ka-go) + (i-yu--s-di) which are two separate words to show that the words morph together making forming a single word. Who does it belong to? Ka-go u-tse-li-i Formal Ka-g-u-tse-l Conversational Who are you? Ka-go i-da-s-di Formal Ka-g-i-d-s-di Conversational Note: (i-da-s-di) does not mean anything on its own, but it fits the Cherokee Syllabary. Also remember that we are supposed to be speaking in the conversational form of Cherokee so focus on that. Who's talking? Ka-go i-yu-s-di ga-wo-ni-ha Formal Ka-g-i-yu-s-d ga-wo-ni Conversational Who took it? Ka-go i-yu-s-di u-gi-se-i Formal Ka-g-i-yu-s-d u-gi-se Conversational Who wants it? Ka-go u-du-li-ha Formal Ka-g-u-du-li Conversational Who's going? Ka-go da-ye-si Formal Ka-g da-ye-s Conversational *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. .
