What is the Lakota translation for thank you?

Answer 1

Ah, thank you for asking such a lovely question. In Lakota, when you want to express gratitude, you can say "Pilamaya" which means thank you. It's a beautiful way to show appreciation and spread kindness in the world.

Answer 2

Thanks is spoken in Lakota as:

Pilamaya ye (pee-lah-mah-yah-yeh) - if said by a female. Pilamaya yelo (pee-lah-mah-yah-yeh-lo) - if said by a male.

Generally, females end phrases with "ye" and males use "yelo".

Answer 3

Native Americans historically preferred to show their appreciation (perhaps with a gift) rather than expressing it verbally. Lakota has the word pilámayaye for thank you, pronounced pee-LA-mah-yah-yey. The literal meaning is "feel-good-me-you-made".

"Many thanks" is lila pilamayaye.
