Today's Navajo Word of the Day is "Bits'áá'," which means "from him, from her, from it." It is a continuation from previous lesson, allowing you to put your Navajo language to use every day! :-)

For the examples, remember the sentence structure:

[OBJECT] -- [ACTION] -- [VERB]

I'm borrowing his/her car.
Bicar bits'áá' use áshłééh.

I'm borrowing his/her car.
Bichidí bits'áá' use áshłééh.

[OBJECT:car] -- [ACTION:use] -- [VERB: áshłééh]

I'm copying his/her notes.
Binotes bits'áá' copy áshłééh.

[OBJECT:notes] -- [ACTION:copy] -- [VERB: áshłééh]

Bits'áá': from him/her/it
Nits'áá': from you

Can I borrow your pen?
Nipen nits'áá' use áshłééh ya'?

Ya': is that okay with you/fine with that?

Can I borrow some money from you?
Money nits'áá' borrow áshłééh ya'?

Ya': can also be used to clarify info

Can I copy your notes?
Ninotes nits'áá' copy áshłééh ya'?

Enjoy & I hope this is helpful!
