Is there anywhere we can hear these words spoken or at least have a pronunciation chart?

I've seen "you" in the lessons as both ní and ni. Is there a difference? And if so what is it? Please?

I am wondering this as well.

This actually is the same in Chinese.

Perhaps the Chinese/Nahautl/Navajo word for you stems from the same language many thousands of years ago.

I was going to say the same, but don't know how it is pronounced here.

I hear no sound???

So, the knights simply said "you, you" in Navaho. Interesting.

Ni like the Ni (you) nahuatl Wow

Why is it sometimes ni and sometimes ní. It's they're an accent or not?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/RW8472

In English (here in our area) Ni is pronounced as "Nee", not "Neh". This becomes confusing, as what's written is not matching what's heard. I read via Google that the language is called Diné, any chance this course can include beginners (how to pronounce each letter properly)? I think that would help.

I dont hear any sound either...

We are the knights who say... "Ni"

Po co zamieściliście naukę tego języka, skoro nie nagraliście jego brzmienia? Jestem bardzo zawiedziona. Nauka języka bez usłyszenia jak brzmią dane słowa jest bez sensu.

    I understood you but I won't be able to answer in Polish, but I think you with your level 25 will understand English :) Keep in mind that the course is still a raw beta, and thousands of hours of dedication are needed for such kind of project. Let's hope the audio will come soon!
