"we went to war" ---Baa' baa ńdiikai

'ashdla' shinááhai dóó 'atah baa' baa ńdiisdzá--"At the age of twenty five I was on of those who went to war."

Note Navajo conjugates very differently than English. In order to use this, one would need to know who and how many went and in what manner.( over and over, as is custom, one time, and other modes and aspects. This verb at the end, ńdiishdááh ( 1st person imperfective) means "to get up" or "arise". Baa' is the stem meaning war or raid. "To carry on warfare is": naashbaah

Because of the way Navajo works one needs to know if you mean a noun or a verb and if a verb other aspects of how you are using it.

To have a fight with him/her -- bił 'ałk'iishyeed

to have a fight with them (3 or more)-- bił 'ałk'iishjeeh

To fight with each other---- 'ałk'iilyeed

to fight with him/her in a boxing match--bił 'ahíínísts'in

to be fighting over it to get something form the other by pulling--dah yists'ǫ'

to fight with guns , a duel --- 'ahííníildon

...and so on..
