"Ahéheeʼ shí nalí asdzaan."

Translation: Thank you my paternal grandmother.

[Hmm88]

What do the separate words shi nali asdzaan mean? The literal definition.

[ahau.3]

Shi= my
(ʼA)Náli= paternal grandparent
ʼAsdzáán= elderly woman

[deactivated user]

The word tile paternal is missing and I reported it.

[Russell_Eire]

"Thank you, my paternal grandmother" worked for me. Perhaps they adjusted it since?

[DanaMootII]

for now "thank you grandmother works

[Tori500890]

Question, why does it have to include paternal?

[Fiyalka2]

And maybe you would usually not include this information in English (it is lost in translation), but for learning, it is good to have it!

[SariahLily]

They have different words entirely for the maternal grandparents.

Why does my paternal grandma not work

[jimbojones733563]

she needs to find a job

[sojournerbliss]

Or wait maybe because she's retired, ya know? Like, hasn't she done enough work? The lady deserves some rest. I mean, give her a break yo. But seriously thank you @jimbojones733563 for that comedic relief.

'Ah(x)éhee' shinálí 'asdzą́ą́(n)*

[GPx9t4]

Est ce que dans la langue courante il définissent toujours si c'est les grand parents paternel ou maternel ? Ou bien ont-il aussi l'habitude de juste dire grand mère ou grand père ?

Par exemple si on veut dire bonjour grand père ? Cela ne semble pas utile de rappeler à son grand père s'il est de notre côté paternel ou maternel ^^

Je ne parle pas bien le français. Je suis Navajo. Dans ma langue, vous devez dire que grand-père et grand-mère sont différents.

[jlogsdon2]

Ahehee'

[Nelli315140]

Je n'en suis pas sûr, mais je pense qu'il n'y a pas un mot pour dire simplement 'grand père' et il faut dire 'grandpère paternel' ou 'grandpère maternel'

[Ankhi333]

Je ne sais pas pour les Navajos en particulier, mais dans beaucoup de cultures ils font la distinction entre le côté maternel et paternel. Tout simplement parce qu'au marriage tu rejoins un des deux (tu habites dans leurs village et rejoins leurs clan) et ça devient ta famille proche alors que l'autre est plus éloigné .

[Teri291310]

So when is it thanks and thank you because I got dinged for thank you on an exercise when it wanted thanks

[Nelli315140]

I think that both 'thanks' and 'thank you' should be correct for 'ahéhee‘'. Use the 'my answer should have been accepted' if you are sure you were marked wrong for the 'thank you'

[jesusotron]

Why doesn't just "thanks" correct?

[DeonJones14]

I thought it was Ahehee shimasani

[SariahLily]

Shimasani is maternal grandmother (mother's mother).

Shí nalí asdzaan is paternal grandmother (father's mother).
