You will more than likely use "I don't understand you", especially when you get a chance to talk to a fluent speaker. This is a phrase that will help keep speaking Cherokee without reverting to English. I understand you. Gv-yo-li-tse-ha Gv-yo-li-tse I don't understand you. Ge-s-di yi-gv-yo-li-tse-ha Ge-s-d yi-gv-yo-li-tse Remember when you make a negative statement (yi) works as a conjunction combining the "negative" which is (ge-s-di) with you basic statement (gv-yo-li-tse-ha). If you are having trouble with this concept, don't worry I will be giving you examples periodically. Ge-s-di + yi + gv-yo-li-tse-ha negative + conjunction + statement. Try to incorporate these words into your everyday language. *For new members-If you have just started receiving lessons you can go to http://www.listbot.com, click List Subscribers and enter your member information, click (View List Archives), click (Cherokee Language Lessons) and choose the back lesson that you need. .
