Today I am going to teach you how to say, "I understand you" and "I don't understand you". You will more than likely use "I don't understand you" more often, especially when you get a chance to talk to a fluent speaker. This is a phrase that will help keep speaking Cherokee without reverting to English. I understand you. Gv-yo-li-tse-ha Gv-yo-li-tse I don't understand you. Ge-s-di yi-gv-yo-li-tse-ha Ge-s-d yi-gv-yo-li-tse Remember when you make a negative statement (yi) works as a conjunction combining the "negative" which is (ge-s-di) with you basic statement (gv-yo-li-tse). If you are having trouble with this concept, don't worry I will be giving you examples periodically. Ge-s-di + yi + gv-yo-li-tse-ha negative + conjunction + statement. Try to incorporate these words into your everyday language. .
