Mostly Navajo does the word "you" differently than in English. Usually it conjugates into the verb so you know from the verb if I am talking abut "me", "you", "you" (two), or "you" (many). Often, you don't need or use the separate word "you". Navajo is a very "verb heavy" language. Different classes of Navajo conjugate differently.

"You" separately is: ni, "you" two is: nihí, "you" three or more is: danihí.

When this is attached to the beginning of a word it means "your" as in: nimá "your mother".

Díí łį́į́' ni. -This horse is yours.

Ni 'éí nilį́į́' hólǫ́ --- You have a horse.

Nihí nihichidí 'ádin. ---You (two) have no car.

Nihílaááh nááhkah. Shí t'áá kǫ́ǫ --- You (pl) go on ahead. I'll stay right here. The last part is literally: "I right here it will be."

Yes is : aooʼ

The mark at the end is a glottal stop like in uh'oh.

The two "o"s make it a longer sound.

"ah-oh" is sort of it.
