When people want to learn conversational Navajo, they always want to learn how to say, "How are you doing?" There are ways to say this, namely:
Hait'áo naniná?
Haa lá ánít'é?
You can ask these but they're not usually conversation starters. These are used if you know the person is not emotionally doing well or physically sick or something.
A better way to begin a conversation is to use the starter, "A̜a̜'." This phrase literally means "open up," but can also mean like, "tell me about it." It can be used alone in the right scenario or used in combination with starter questions:
A̜a̜' ha'íí baa naniná?
What are you doing?
A̜a̜' ha'íí baa nídinídzá?
What will you be doing?
A̜a̜' ha'íí baa nisíníyá?
What were you doing?
A̜a̜' háágóó díníya?
Where are you going?
A̜a̜' háágóó nisíníyá?
Where did you go?
A̜a̜' háádé̜é̜'?
Where are you from?
A̜a̜' háádé̜é̜'ísh yínááł?
Where you coming from?
A̜a̜' ha'íí baa dahane'?
What's the news?
A̜a̜' ha'íí daha'ní?
What's the gossip?
A̜a̜' ha'íí hodoo'niid?
What was said?
A̜a̜' ha'íí?
What's up?
All of these can be used without the starter a̜a̜' but sounds more polite when used with it. Any questions... ask! :-)
This Weather Report was given by Paul Jones, and is aired throughout the day on KTNN AM 660. This particular report was given on February 17, 2009 at 7:30 AM in the morning. This video is meant to provide a sample of the Navajo language, and also to provide context for weather terms such as clouds, temperature, rain, snow, wind, etc. The english translation provided is a broad translation, since Navajo is such a detailed language that more is said than is translated into English.
This video also gives the Navajo names to various places in the Navajo Reservation. Numbers & percentage terms are also used.
KTNN is a radio station that broadcasts onto the Navajo Indian Reservation, on the AM 660 dial. It can also be heard on the internet at http://www.ktnnonline.com .The languages spoken are Navajo & English.

The language of the Navajo tribe helped win World War II. Now, some 70 years later, a movie studio is part of an effort to keep the Navajo language alive - enlisting the help of a friendly little fish. Jim Axelrod reports.

This video is essentially a continuation of the previous video called, "How to Start Conversations in the Navajo Language." Essentially, I introduced the phrase, "Haa ánít'é?" which means, "How are you doing?"
Of course it isn't quite useful if you don't know how to respond to this question. So in this video, I provided the different ways in which you can respond to this question along with providing some vocabulary words for various emotions in Navajo.
In addition to this, I've also included the basic ways you can respond to, "Haa lá ánít'é?" by responding with:
Bił nisin (sleepy)
Dichin nisin (hungry)
Dibáá' nisin (thirsty)
Though, I'm grateful that someone took the time to translate the emotions on that "How Are You Doing Today?" chart in Navajo, it is more useful to have it in 1st person as opposed to 3rd person so you can learn the emotions. I hope you like this video... enjoy!

For completeness, I included this topic on my channel. I know it's redundant but in case you want another video, here it is. These are the numbers:

This video was made for educational purposes.
***UPDATED***
The main purpose of this video was to show that language in the Navajo community has changed from the past to the present, and to realize that there were environmental factors that have influenced this change. There is an apparent difference between the number of people who speak the language and who can't. This is concerning because English only speakers have surpassed those who speak Navajo only, or are fluent in Navajo.
Those interviewed are taking personal steps to learn how to speak the Navajo language, whether through books/dictionaries/classes.

Navajo or Navaho (native name: Diné bizaad) is an Athabaskan language (of Na-Dené stock) spoken in the southwestern United States. It is geographically and linguistically one of the Southern Athabaskan languages (the majority of Athabaskan languages are spoken in northwest Canada and Alaska).
Navajo has more speakers than any other Native American language north of the U.S.-Mexico border, with 170,717 self-reported speakers in 2007, and this number has increased with time.
The American Community Survey of 2007 reported 170,717 speakers of Navajo, making it the only Native American language to warrant a separate line in the statistical tables. The majority of speakers live on the Navajo Nation. Of these, 2.9% were monolingual with no knowledge of English. The four metro- and micropolitan areas with the largest number of speakers were Farmington (16.5%), Gallup (12%), Flagstaff (10.3%), and Albuquerque (5.4%).
A number of bilingual immersion schools operate within Navajo-speaking regions to preserve and promote usage of the language.

Conversational Navajo Lesson: Emotion Vocabulary
This video is essentially a continuation of the previous video called, "How to Start Conversations in the Navajo Language." Essentially, I introduced the phrase, "Haa ánít'é?" which means, "How are you doing?" Of course it isn't quite useful if you don't know how to respond to this question. So in this video, I provided the different ways in which you can respond to this question along with providing some vocabulary words for various emotions in Navajo. In addition to this, I've also included the basic ways you can respond to, "Haa lá ánít'é?" by responding with: Bił nisin (sleepy) Dichin nisin (hungry) Dibáá' nisin (thirsty) Though, I'm grateful that someone took the time to translate the emotions on that "How Are You Doing Today?" chart in Navajo, it is more useful to have it in 1st... -

I know it's redundant but in case you want another video, here it is. These are the numbers: Názba̜s/Ádin: Zero T'ááłá'í: One Naaki: Two Táá': Three Dí̜í̜': Four Ashdla': Five Hastá̜á̜: Six Tsosts'id: Seven Tseebíí: Eight Náhást'éí: Nine Neeznáá: Ten In the last video going over colors, I left off the word for white, which is "łigai."

Navajo Language: From Past to Present
This video was made for educational purposes. ***UPDATED*** The main purpose of this video was to show that language in the Navajo community has changed from the past to the present, and to realize that there were environmental factors that have influenced this change. There is an apparent difference between the number of people who speak the language and who can't. This is concerning because English only speakers have surpassed those who speak Navajo only, or are fluent in Navajo. Those interviewed are taking personal steps to learn how to speak the Navajo language, whether through books/dictionaries/classes.

When people want to learn conversational Navajo, they always want to learn how to say, "How are you doing?" There are ways to say this, namely:
Hait'áo naniná?
Haa lá ánít'é?
You can ask these but they're not usually conversation starters. These are used if you know the person is not emotionally doing well or physically sick or something.
A better way to begin a conversation is to use the starter, "A̜a̜'." This phrase literally means "open up," but can also mean like, "tell me about it." It can be used alone in the right scenario or used in combination with starter questions:
A̜a̜' ha'íí baa naniná?
What are you doing?
A̜a̜' ha'íí baa nídinídzá?
What will you be doing?
A̜a̜' ha'íí baa nisíníyá?
What were you doing?
A̜a̜' háágóó díníya?
Where are you going?
A̜a̜' háágóó nisíníyá?
Where did you go?
A̜a̜' háádé̜é̜'?
Where are you from?
A̜a̜' háádé̜é̜'ísh yínááł?
Where you coming from?
A̜a̜' ha'íí baa dahane'?
What's the news?
A̜a̜' ha'íí daha'ní?
What's the gossip?
A̜a̜' ha'íí hodoo'niid?
What was said?
A̜a̜' ha'íí?
What's up?
All of these can be used without the starter a̜a̜' but sounds more polite when used with it. Any questions... ask! :-)

This video is essentially a continuation of the previous video called, "How to Start Conversations in the Navajo Language." Essentially, I introduced the phrase, "Haa ánít'é?" which means, "How are you doing?"
Of course it isn't quite useful if you don't know how to respond to this question. So in this video, I provided the different ways in which you can respond to this question along with providing some vocabulary words for various emotions in Navajo.
In addition to this, I've also included the basic ways you can respond to, "Haa lá ánít'é?" by responding with:
Bił nisin (sleepy)
Dichin nisin (hungry)
Dibáá' nisin (thirsty)
Though, I'm grateful that someone took the time to translate the emotions on that "How Are You Doing Today?" chart in Navajo, it is more useful to have it in 1st person as opposed to 3rd person so you can learn the emotions. I hope you like this video... enjoy!

***UPDATED***
The main purpose of this video was to show that language in the Navajo community has changed from the past to the present, and to realize that there were environmental factors that have influenced this change. There is an apparent difference between the number of people who speak the language and who can't. This is concerning because English only speakers have surpassed those who speak Navajo only, or are fluent in Navajo.
Those interviewed are taking personal steps to learn how to speak the Navajo language, whether through books/dictionaries/classes.
