There is no direct translation; the verb yawashte or yatan means to praise or commend someone or something. These also appear as nouns (woyawashte and woyatan) meaning praise.

In Lakota culture as in most Plains tribes, people generally did not express "congratulations" by saying it - a group of people sang a traditional praise song to honour someone for what they had done, particularly outstandingly brave deeds performed by a returning warrior. The verb ilowan or kichilowan expresses the idea of praising someone in song (lowan = to sing).

The shouts eyahehe! or lililililili ! are expressions of admiration, praise or acclamation.
