What does ya ha' teeh' mean?

Question

It's in Navajo? anyone? c'mon..

Answer 1

Correct spelling --> Yá'át'ééh

There is no single translation for the word "Yá'át'ééh". It has several different meanings depending on the situation. It does have the implication of meaning "a good situation/event" which will hopefully become apparent in these scenerios I give.

Two people meeting each other would greet each other with "Yá'át'ééh".

When saying "Good morning" to someone, you would say "Yá'át'ééh , Yá'át'ééh 'abíní". "'Abíní" means "morning" in Dinè, aka Navajo.

" yá'át'ééh", which would mean the event went well. The event can be anything from a graduation ceremony to something as innocuous as driving and reaching a destination safely.

Answer 2

Ya ta hey is Navajo for hello.
