So does "yá'át'ééh" actually mean "good" as in the opposite of "bad", or is it used particularly in Greetings, like we're saying "Morning greetings to you".

    It just means "Hello/Hi" so this sentence literally translated would be "Hello, morning."

      i read on the site that pronounces these words that yáʼátʼééh means something like "it is good", so this would be "it's a good morning."

      I know it has been a while, but i would like to the know what "site that pronounces these words" you use. I have found some in the app store and some help on YouTube. Any other suggestions? Also, Just sayin, I am happy with the Beta as it stands and develops. I am delighted to have what access I have to the language. It seems Duo is willing to share what it has. Thanks Duo!!!!!

            Doesn't "Yáʼátʼééh abiní" also mean "Hello friends"?
