Best Answer

yah 'iishááh-- (1 person) ( into a room, house, corral)

yah 'iit'aash -- (2 people)

yah ''iikááh - (3+ people)

You have to conjugate the verb to be in 1st, 2nd, dual, 3rd and 4th.

You say different words if you enter walking, running crawling, on horseback, a car, flying, if air enters, a quadruped, one after another, start school, to enter and stay inside (a cage or box), to enter mud, to enter swinging on a rope, and on and on

The marks over vowels are high tone marks, not accent or stress. Navajo is tonal.

Two ii make a sound like in "bee"

Say a as in father. Two "a"s you hold longer.

The final h sounds are pronounced.

The t' is a glottalized consonant, It is different than T. You say it sort of holding your breath in you throat.
