This word differs from the Oklahoma dialect which is pronounced (ha-dlv). Here are a few examples of how to use (Ga-tsv): You will use this phrase when you meet someone who is already is in the process of traveling. e.g. Someone is walking down the road. Where are you going? Ga-tsv wi-ga-ti Giduwa dialect Ga-tsv wi-g-ti conversational You will use this phrase when you meet someone who is preparing to travel. e.g. Someone you see with his or her bags packed. Where are you going? Ga-tsv te-si Giduwa dialect Ga-tsv te-s conversational You will use this phrase if you are looking for a person or an object. Where is Jim? Ga-tsv Tsi-mi Giduwa dialect Ga-tsv Tsi-m conversational If you are looking for a person or object you can actually change around the order placing the person or object before (ga-tsv). Where is Jim? Tsi-mi ga-tsv Giduwa dialect Tsi-m ga-tsv conversational I must let you know that a lot of fluent speakers will put (na) after the first word, which implies "how or what about". What about Jim, where is he? Tsi-mi-na ga-tsv or Ga-tsv-na Tsi-mi Try to employ this word into your Cherokee vocabulary. 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. .
