Learn To Speak Hopi: Close Sounding Words 

Wow teach me!! I’m Hopi and have been urbanized my entire life... always wanted to speak Hopi like my grandma.

Fun fact the closest related languages to Hopi are the Aztec languages for example Nahuatl.

Hak’i = who is, you have a glottal stop after the hak, meaning stop before saying the I sound paas’i pàasa’a noova = food nonova = eating (pl). tuumoyta = eating (sg) Huvam nonova’a = Y’all eat Just as English, if you have a singular subject you must have a singular verb and if you have pluaral subjects you must have a plural verb. Example: Tiyòoya tuumoyta. The little boy is eating. Totimhòoyam noonova. The little boys are eating. Pay yàasa’a. Tsu’wisiwma

Kwahu! 𐐗𐐶𐐰𐐸𐐳! Love the word for eagle

My mother grew up in Taos. Now I'm finally learning some of the language. Thank you both!

Learning from your channel an your explain so well thank you for making these videos

Love it! It's always awesome to hear and learn a new language, especially from a totally different language family than Indo-European.

These are great! Thanks for making a video with the spelling! Can't wait for more videos... maybe one with helpful words and phrases used on a daily basis?! :)

Thank you. I haven't been on the rez in years. One forgets. 💚

Awesome vid! I actually guessed correct on many of the words before you've given hints. I don't know how, with being Ndéé and Tsalagi.

This is amazing. I am hopi too my brother!!

This helps me a lot with my language

I enjoyed it! Esquali.

can you please do more hopi videos i really want to learn hopi and be fluent i am hopi and want to know before u get initiated i only know a few when my soho says them

Very int

For "hak'i," does the apostrophe indicate a pause or a glottal stop there? I don't hear it when you say the word. Or is it a contraction? -- I hear the longer vowel in "haaki," though. It sound like either two separate vowels, or else a longer duration (held for two or three beats). -- I just don't hear the glottal stop in "hak'i." :) Thanks, JD!

This makes me miss home💙💛❤️

Hak'I" also means "Wait" with the accent more on the "I"

Samivaya JD i have a very short sound recording of someone speaking i need translating if you can get back to me please

Ya'll are cute. Thank you for this.

OK! I forgot, you said Fiance...soooo???? When did you have your wedding?!? Congrats my two spirit friends! Proud to your pride today. again.

Nice video! Thanks Have you seen the old Hopi Deseret alphabet by any chance? Since there wasn't a written language, guess the Spaniards never bothered huh?, the mormon missionaries tried to create a Hopi Orthography

im muscogee creek and it is very important to learn and preserve our culture if you dont know the language you are a lost indian

is there a word thats pronounced.. win^chaw or wen^cha... im not sure how to spell it. this has to do with people if the land can you hear me now? great guardians have come down to our ancestors scared buriel ground. i live near the verde valley river..

Hopi should use hangul 한글 for written words or create an alphabet that fits writing system learn about the creation of 한글 and you will see it is almost the same situation almost

I really enjoyed this. Would you ever consider teaching Hopi through Skype or whatsapp? I'm part of a language class like that.
