Notes:

  • If you see the image to the right, this means that my pictures will be temporarily disabled for a month. I'm only allowed a certain amounts of downloads from the PhotoBucket server a month. I can pay to have my bandwidth increased to accomodate, but I like free. So, if you see the pic to the right, the image will be disabled for a month from the date I exceeded my bandwidth. Sorry about that. A million apologies!

English Phrase: Halloween
Though there is no way to say this entirely in Navajo, though Salina's Bookshelf, Inc., translated Halloween as "Doo Hóshka Bá Haz'á!" This roughly translates to time or space set aside for tricks or mischief.

English Phrase: Happy Mother's Day!
There is no way to say Happy Mother's Day. Most people just refer to the day, such as by saying "Amá Bééhaniih Bich'i' Ánááhoolzhiizh", which means "Remembering Our Mothers Has Returned Again!"

Some people say "Amájí Baa Hózhó!" Though it literally translates to "Happy Mother's Day," many people don't agree with this wording.

English Phrase: Happy 4th of July!
There are several ways to say this, such as "Nizhónígo Ya'iishjááshtsoh Díí'go Yookáígíí Nee Adoolee!"

Another way of saying this is, "Wáshindoon T'áá Bí Hoo'áago Hahoolzhiizh Yéedáá' Bééhaniih Bich'i' Ánááhoolzhiizh," which roughly means "Remembering When the Government Became Independent Has Returned Again!" Still, this is a little too long.

English Phrase: Happy Thanksgiving!
In Navajo, Thanksgiving is said two different ways: Tazhii Da'agha (They're Eating Turkey) and Késhmish Yázhí (Little Christmas). Though a more correct translation for Thanksgiving would be Baa Ahééhwiindzin Bijí (The Day of Thankfulness), I prefer the former two because they are more commonly known terms.
