How do you say my wife in Navajo?

Answer 1

Her husband: bahastiin or bich'ooní or biką'. (take away the bi and add shi for "my'. Add ni for "your").

Hastiin alone can mean older man or husband

or: bił hinishnáanii (the one I live with)

Answer 2

There are two possible answers according to the dictionary.

family hooghan hazʼ�� (in a way means home member) or bi� kééhashtʼíinii (bi� being a preposition meaning (basically) "with"--so it may mean 'member of family')

my family shikʼéí (also relative) , hakʼéí means one's family, nikʼéí --your family, bikʼéí --his/her/it's family and so on

Doo k'é nizin da -- "he/she acts like he has no family" Literally- "He or she does not think according to kinship" This is one of the worst things you can say about someone.

Answer 3

spouse is:

shich'ooní (my spouse)

nich'ooní (yours)

ach'ooní (someones)

bich'ooní (his/hers/it's)

nihich'ooní ( theirs)

and so on...

The mark over the vowel means high tone (important to use)

The mark after ch means it is a glottalized consonant. Hold your breath in your throat as you say the ch sound.

Answer 4

she'aszdáán (woman)

or: shich'ooní (partner)

or: she'áád (female)

These are one of a category of words in Navajo that only occurs in the possessive form.

Answer 5

shich'ooní nizhóní ( my beautiful spouse)

nich'ooní nizhóní ( your beautiful spouse)

ach'ooní nizhóní ( someone's beautiful spouse)

ch'ooní nizhóní ( his/her/it's beautiful spouse)

And so on....

You could also say: asdzą́ą́ nizhóní ( beautiful woman)

The word for "spouse" in Navajo is one of a category of words ( relations, body parts, etc) that can only exist in the possessive.

The ch' is a glotalized consonant. You sort of hold your breath as to say the sound. Just ch is a different consonant. The marks over vowels make those high tone. The a with a squiggle under it makes it nazalized like the o in the French word bon. The zh is like in the middle of pleasure. The dz is like in adze.

In Navajo an older sister is shadi. A younger sister is shideezhi.

Answer 7
