Today's Navajo Word of the Day was once again inspored by the location... "La Michoacana De Paquime," in Albuquerque's South Valley District. Today's Navajo Word of the Day is "ice cream." To say "ice cream" in Navajo you say, "Abe' Yistíní." Abe' means milk and yistíní means frozen.

To say it in a sentence you can say, "Ákwe'é abe' yistíní nidahaniih," which means, "This is where ice cream is sold." The breakdown:

Ákwe'é: right here
Abe' yistíní: ice cream
Nidahaniih: they are being sold

My favorite items here are the "mango con chile" and "mango con crema." In my opinion, the mango con chile tastes just like chiiłchin (sumac berry pudding)! :-)
