Answer 2

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 3

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".

"Many thanks" is lila pilamayaye.
