ashą́ -I eat

Íyą́ (You eat)

Ayą́ (He eats)

Iidą́ (We two eat)

Ohsą́ (You two eat)

Ayą́ (They two eat)

Da'iidą́ (We three, or more, eat)

Da'ohsą́ (You three, or more, eat)

Da'ayą́ (They three, or more, eat)

Example: Shí dóó Jerry bá'áłchíní éí Mary bighandi da'iidą́.

"Me and Jerry's kids (3 or more total) are eating at Mary's house"

But Navajo verbs are very complicated. To eat meat is ashgał, to eat berries or eggs is ashdeeł, to eat corn or candy is ash'aał and on and on.

The mark under the a means it is nasalized. The mark above means high tone. The mark between is a glottal stop. The l with a line is a unvoiced aspirated L.
