Publisher's Synopsis
Dook'o'ooslííd, which is Book 3 in the Fun With Navajo Verbs series from Access Navajo, provides another 125 colorful verbs carefully selected for their usefulness in daily life and their relevance to Navajo culture. As in Books 1 and 2, each verb is conjugated in up to seven modes. At least two sample sentences written by a knowledgeable native speaker are given for each verb, as well as a conjugation combination, full stem set, breakdown of classifier, inner and outer prefixes and objects, and more. Content themes include verbs relating to color and verbs dealing with human interactions such as hiring, firing, getting along, paying attention to, and arguing with others. A substantial number of verbs dealing with human emotions are provided, such as to be overcome with joy, to be suspicious, to go through an ordeal, and to be interested in something. There are also a number of highly practical verbs, such as to put on one's shoes, to get dressed, to milk an animal, to work silver, and to sculpt stone. A full set of handling verbs has been provided. As with each of Books 1 and 2, there is also a software game that can be downloaded from the AccessNavajo.com website at no charge (requires Java Runtime Environment (JRE(TM)) which can be downloaded from Oracle(TM) free of charge). Have fun learning Navajo verbs by coordinating the book and game into your study program today!
