Did the blackfoot Indians have a chief with the last name lightfoot?

A horse named Lightfoot may have been born to another horse called Blackfoot in Ireland in the 1920s; neither horse has any connection at all with the Blackfoot tribes.

There is apparently a modern US citizen named Don Lightfoot who served in the US Marine Corps and "traces his heritage to the Blackfoot tribe", whatever that means. He is not and never has been a Blackfoot, Piegan or Blood chief.

How do you pronounce godin?

how to pronounce Godin Teppe in Persianas an Iranian, native Persian speaker (mostly with the Tehran-y accent, ie one having lived and grown up in Tehran most of his life thus acquring that city's people's accent) the word Tepe should be the one that is pronounced "ta-peh" by the Tehrani and many other people of Iran.

that is of course, 'a' will be pronounced like the same letter in the words Adam for instance, or man etc. almost! why almost? because the corect pronounciation of that letter in Persian has no exact equivalent in English. it is highly inflected in Persian while there is rarely any inflected 'a' in English. or not the same as that in Persian at least. (in ancient Avestan language, probably the oldest form of Persian, there are about 14 different ways of pronounciation as well as written forms of the letter a! god help! :-) today, there are at least 4 different pronounciations of the same letter in Persian.) however, the pronounciation of the word Tepe the way it is being spelled and pronounced here is also correct since different dialects and accents in Iran may well pronounce the same word in different ways.

as for the word Godin though, I'm not really sure since I've never heard nor read it in Persian. i have heard of similar words but I'm not sure if this one is any of those. similar words: Gadan, or maybe even Godan. could as well be Gadin. one has to find out who first pronounced / spelled these two words into English in the way it is now. where s/he got it from. who s/he heard them from first and so forth ... in fact the word might actually be of a totally different origin than that of the Indo-Iranian languages.

How do you say 'You you are too beautiful' in Portuguese?

The Portuguese equivalent of the English sentence 'You, you are too beautiful' is the following: voce, voce e demasiado bonita; or tu, tu es demasiado bonita. The Portuguese pronunciation is the following: voh-SAY eh djee-mah-SYAH-doo boh-NEE-tuh; and too too eh djee-mah-SYAH-doo boh-NEE-tuh. The word-by-word translation is the following: 'voce' and 'tu' mean 'you'; 'e' and 'es' '[you] are'; 'demasiado' 'excessively' or 'too much'; 'bonita' 'beautiful'. Brazilian Portuguese speakers tend to use the first example. Peninsular Portuguese speakers may use either. For peninsular Portuguese still uses the 'you' [tu] form with children and the close circle of family and friends. Additionally, the words 'linda' and 'bonita' may be interchanged, as may the words 'demais' and 'demasiado'. Examples are the following: voce, voce e linda demais; or tu, tu es linda demais. The pronunciation of 'linda' is LEE-nduh, and of 'demais' djee-MAISH.
