Cherokee language lesson-- Sing

Eastern Dialect (Giduwa) Cherokee you sing / i will sing for you/ I am singing/ you are singing/ it is singing
==
1- detinog (command to 1 person to sing more than 1 note)
2-dodagvnogistan (i will sing to you)
3-detsinogia (i am singing)
4-dehinog (you are singing)
5-dekanog (she/he/it is singing)
===
Note: NOTE: there is a difference in the way it is written and the way it is spoken or pronounced. This is why all dialects can use the same syllabary fairly well/successfully. The written has more "sounds" but when people speak, they don't put all those sounds in there. I've got a bit of both on here so you may see it and here it but that is why it sounds different. The correct way to say it is what some folks call "conversational" and the "formal" isn't really more formal... its just how to distinguish that it is written differently than it sounds. It is impolite to speak using the "written" and for giduwa, it would be incorrect to say it as it is written. So drop the sounds as I illustrate here and you will be saying it correctly-- you can even drop some more of the vowels at the end if you wish- it would be more accurate if you do.
Remember: this is GIDUWA or eastern dialect AKA Keetoowah so it does not sound like the Cherokee of OK, or the CNO nor does it sound like the Cherokee spoken in Tutiyi (Robbinsville, NC) rather, it is spoken as it is on the Qualla of NC in Big Cove.
