'ahééhee' pronunciation is ah-Hyyehh-hheh' ( ' signifies a glodal stop, which stresses the the sound of the letter, but ends it ubruptly, with a little force).

The word for thank you in Diné bizaad( Navajo language) is: Ahééheeʼ

The mark over the e is to indicate high tone. The mark at the end is a consonant called a glottal stop.

The "h" is pronounced with more harsh aspiration than in English.

The website I have attached has a sound clip of the correct pronunciation.

Note: the mark over the "e" is a high tone in Navajo, not an accent mark.

The marks make those vowels high tone. Navajo is a tonal language which means tone means it is as as different as a sound shift in it. The "h" is said with a kind of aspirated "hye" sound. If you'd like to hear a native speaker's pronunciation, see the related link below.

How do you say thank you for coming in Navajo?

In Navajo not everything is word for word like it is in English.You could just say ahéhee'. (ah-hyeh-he') meaning "thank you."If you are starting to talk to a gathering you might say: Ahéhee' shikéí dóó shidine'é… (Thank you my friends/family and my people…)oryou might say if someone has come to see you: Shaa yíníyáhígíí baa 'ahééh nisin.---Which means "I'm grateful (or appreciate or thankful) for you coming to see me".You can say this many ways with slight differences that change it a great deal in the way you say it in Navajo."I'm thankful for you for coming to see me like you usually do" would make a different conjugation than : "I'm grateful for you coming to see me over and over".Usually you need more careful particulars in the Navajo than you need in the Navajo because there are modes and aspects in Navajo as well as tense and the verb conjugates as to who is being spoken about with a dual and plural and fourth person and indefinite person too. Sometimes the verb changes depending on what sort of object is being acted upon, such as picking up a round object vs a long thin flexible one.
