How do you say children in Navajo?

Answer 1

You can say "family" in Navajo by saying: dah 'oonéłígíí

family members is: áłchíní

One family unit: t'ááłá'í hooghanígíí

"among the families of the community": dahootahgóó

Also the word K'é means: relatives, kinship, relationships, friendship peace.

In Navajo, people of the same clan can be refered to as family, i.e. "brothers" or "sisters", etc.

Clan is: dóone'é. This means your first (mother's) clan.

Your father's "born for" clan is: báshíshchíín. In the third person it is : yáshchíín

The rest of your clans are:

Maternal grandfather's clan is : dashicheii

Paternal grandfather's clan is: dashinalí

You introduce yourself in that order.

One way of introducing one's self to a group would be to say: shik'éí dóó shidine'é (my family and my people- friends)

There is no one word in Navajo that says "family" as I know it; however,

Shil hoz 'anigii may be the nearest translation meaning "what I am responsible for" includes responsibility to self, family, extended family, the community, material and animal possessions and finally the tie/responsibility to nature and the spiritual.
