While I was on my morning run, I ran by the theme park "Six Flags Over Texas." I figured this would be a perfect Navajo Word of the Day. To say "flag" in Navajo, you say "Dah Naat'a'í." The breakdown:

Dah: up high (elevated)
Naat'a'í: the object flying

Though that is how it is broken down, altogether it means "flag." To say "Six Flags" in Navajo, you say "Dah Naat'a'í Hastáá." The breakdown:

Dah Naat'a'í: flag
Hastáá: six

Simple but figured it would be useful in some sense! Enjoy! :-)
