t'áá'ákwííjį́

everyday

tah ah kwee jih

Today, we learn the word for everyday.

It’s used as it is in English.

You know how to say today (this day – díí jį́).

Carry the word for day and attach t’áá ákwíí, which is the word that means _every (every single). _

You’ll notice that ákwíí uses elements from the word denoting quantity (how much? – díkwíí).

So what does t’áá denote? Well, it’s one of those words that doesn’t quite have a precise English translation. This word will show up in a lot of different contexts.
