I had a personal request from one of the students for the term "Come and
eat".  As we have already discussed, the Cherokee language is very
specific and it will change slightly depending on whom you are talking to.
Here are some examples.

You come eat.
Ka-li-s-da-ya-nu-ga             Formal
Ka-l-s-da-ya-nu-ga              Conversational
You would use this phrase if you were talking to one person.  

You all come eat.
Di-tsa-li-s-da-ya-nu-ga         Formal
Di-tsa-l-s-da-ya-nu-ga          Conversational
You would use this phrase if you were addressing a group of people.

Let's you and I go eat.
Hi-na-li-s-da-ya-nu-ga          Formal
Hi-na-l-s-da-ya-nu-ga           Conversational
You would use this phrase if you were talking to another person and
including yourself.  

You eat.  (Command)
Ha-li-s-da-ya-hv-ga             Formal
Ha-l-s-da-ya-hv-ga              Conversational

Phrase of the day.
Leave me alone.
A-gwa-ne-la-ga  ge-se-s-di      Formal
A-gwa-ne-la-g   ge-se-s-di      Conversational

If somebody is giving you a hard time or just kidding you to hard just
tell them this phrase.
