This is very hard to translate in to Navajo because there are very many ways to "come" or "arrive" in Navajo.How you are traveling matters. And it changes based on who and how many you are talking to. It also often needs to know the manner of movement, such as on the way somewhere else, round trip, like it is usually done and so on.

náníshtłáád - means to come back to him or her ( a spouse or lover).

My home is shighan, our home is nihighan, nighan is your home, his her it's home is bighan.

Navajo is a subject object verb language.

There is no imperative form. To express the imperative you use the 2nd person prefix. Perhaps this is why it is rude to order Navajo people around.

Note on pronouncing: Vowels with marks over them are high tone.

Double vowels are held longer.

i is as in bit sound.

a is as in father.

tł is a consonant we don't have in English, if you think of how we make gl sound and put your tongue where L is it will work.

gh is a bit like ch in loch with a more g sound to it.
