To say a phrase that works like Hello" you say: yáʼátʼééh
You can say "how are you?" but in Navajo is means you are checking that they are better if you know they have not been well. It is not a conversation starter.
With very traditional people, if they have not been sick, it might have the implication that you are checking to see if they are getting sick as you had hoped (or did something to bring about)
One way to say "How are you doing?" is: Hait'áo naniná?
A better, less abrupt way to start a conversation is to start with Áá'. It means "open up" but also means "tell me about it"
Áá' ha'íí baa naniná?--- What are you doing?
Áá' ha'íí baa nídinídzá? ----What will you be doing?
Áá' ha'íí baa dahane'? ----What's the news?
Áá' ha'íí? ----What's up?
The marks over vowels are high tone marks. Navajo is tonal and it changes meaning. They are not stress or accent marks.
The mark ' between vowels is a glottal stop like in uh'oh.
The t' is a glottalized consonant. It is different than T.
One i is like in "bit'
Two "ii" is like ee in "bee".
Two of other vowels makes them held longer.
