Cherokee Language Lesson- Thank you Letter

Christmas is over, and if you are like me, you might still have a few thank you notes to write-- so here is a helpful Cherokee Language Lesson for "A Thank You, Note"
WORDS:
Sgi-- thanks or its done
goweli-note(paper)
doyu-very much
gvyalielitsehi- I appreciate you
sincerely- hagwadohiyu gvyohiyu
Tsasyed- (my name

this one is in

Giduwa (Keetoowah) Eastern cherokee Dialect (aka Middle dialect) Now you can write a thank you note too! Just replace my name with yours! Has words like "thanks" "I appreciate you" and "I really appreciate you" Or "I appreciate you very much" and close your letter with "Sincerely Yours". Start corresponding in Tsalagi (Cherokee) from now on! remember, the "-hi" at the ends of words is usually only written, not spoken. Also, in the Eastern dialect, (of Big Cove NC) the "tsa--" sounds like "Za" and sometimes the "Tse" has a "Ch"sound to it. Notice the "Gv" is like the French "u" sound as in "lundy"-- in English, it approximates "Sun" "Fun" and "run" sound, but is nasalized. The Eastern (Giduwa) Dialect is spoken on the Qualla in North Carolina, especially in Big Cove.
