I Feel Good Lesson 

Du-no-lv-ta-ni Tso-sgo-i-ne ta-li-ga-yv-l so-gwo u-de-ti-yv-sa-di-sv-i.
January            30th       2000     +     1             years

Today I would teach how to say the phrases, "I feel good and I feel bad."
I am also going to start giving you the first person which is (I), second
person (you) and third person (he, she or it).  By doing this, not only
are we expanding your vocabulary but we are also becoming aware, in small
doses, of the complexity of the Cherokee language.  

I feel good.
O-s-da  a-gwa-da-nv-ta  Formal
O-s-d  a-gwa-da-n-ta    Conversational

You feel good.
O-s-da  tsa-da-nv-ta    Formal
O-s-d  tsa-da-n-ta      Conversational

He feels good.
O-s-da  u-da-nv-ta      Formal
O-s-d    u-da-n-ta      Conversational

Note: You may also substitute (o-si) for (o-s-da) because they mean the
same thing. 

I feel bad.
U-yo-i  a-gwa-da-nv-ta  Formal
U-yo   a-gwa-da-n-ta    Conversational

You feel bad.
U-yo-i  tsa-da-nv-ta    Formal
U-yo      tsa-da-n-ta   Conversational

He feels bad.
U-yo-i  u-da-nv-ta      Formal
U-yo    u-da-n-ta       Conversational

As an exercise, when someone asks, "How are you doing?" answer in 
Cherokee saying (O-s-d  a-gwa-da-n-ta).  Be sure to let the tone of your
voice reflect your mood.  Sometimes when I answer people they will
understand me just by the way I am say it.  Also, if you are Cherokee,
be proud of your language and use every chance you get.
