CWY Lesson #24

Today we will learn the phrase "Until we meet again" or "We will see each
other again". As you may have heard, Cherokees do not have a word that
says "Good bye".  Cherokees us several different phrases to close a
conversation.  Here are some examples:

Till we meet again (you and I) Big Cove Giduwa dialect
De-na-da-go-hv-hv       Formal 
De-n-da-go-hv-hv        Conversational

Till we meet again (you and I) Giduwa dialect
De-na-da-go-hv-yu       Formal 
De-n-da-go-hv-yu        Conversational

Till we meet again (you and I) Oklahoma dialect
Do-na-da-go-hv-i        Formal
De-n-da-go-hv-i         Conversational

I will see you. (Said to one person)
Hi-gv-go-v-hi

(Hi-gv-go-v-hi) is a phrase that I use often because you can specify when
you will see the person. Here are some examples:

I will see you tomorrow. 
Su-na-le   hi-gv-go-v-hi
Tomorrow   I will see you.

I will see you later or after awhile. 
Go-hi-di  hi-gv-go-v-hi
Later     I will see you.

I will see you Saturday. 
U-n-do-da-gwi-de-na   hi-gv-go-v-hi
Saturday              I will see you.

To the students of the Cherokee Language: In my last lesson I might have
led you in the wrong direction.  I told you that (hlesdi) meant "not" in
the Western dialect, in actuality it translates to "quit".  I want to say
to all the members (s-gi-do-li-gi) "forgive me". Sgi  Bo Taylor
