Mvskoke (Creek/Seminole) Word of the Day (Compound words) VNCUKO HOMV - Phonetically, un-jo-go / ho-muh Translation: Front of my house and literally, my-house-front VNCUKO TVKFETTV - Phonetically, un-jo-go / duk-fit-tuh Translation: My yard, and literally, my-house-down (ground)-outside ETO VPETTE - Phonetically, e-doe / uh-beet-tee Translation: Shade trees, and literally, wood (tree)-shade PVHE LANE - Phonetically, puh-he / lah-ne Translation: Green grass, and literally, grass-green NETTV YVFKE - Phonetically, nit-tuh / yuf-ke Translation: Evening, and literally day-evening As weve discussed before, the Mvskoke language (like most languages except English) mentions the subject before the descriptor. That is evidenced by the literal translations above. I had a little extra time to record a short video, hope you enjoy the audio pronunciations (upload takes forever though!)! As always, please feel free to share our beautiful Mvskoke language!
