Today we’ll start exploring the Navajo numbers from 1 to 10.

Recall that when asking a question involving numbers or quantities a special Navajo word is used (díkwíí). A simple response may be: “T’áá díkwíí” which means “(they are) just a few.”

A more precise answer will involve these base Navajo digits:

• 1 - T’ááłá’í
• 2 - Naakí
• 3 - Táá’
• 4 - Dį́į́’
• 5 - Áshdla’
• 6 - Hast’ą́ą́
• 7 - Ts’ost’id
• 8 - Tseebíí
• 9 - Náhást’éí
• 10 - Neeznáá
