What if she is right? 10K Hours to expertly learn a language

she says that no one wants to believe it takes that long--

but

what if she is right?

then I suggest- we start SOONER rather than LATER!

Now, rather than in the future.

Today, rather than tomorrow!

Public Domain or Copyrighted?

Language cannot be copy righted but sometimes, arrangments can be.


Right now, we received word that there is a dispute about one of our Cherokee Songs.


Someone by name of "CASH#" claimed it as theirs and has monetized it, making money off of ads.
Since we disputed it, they have not received funds, but soon, that may expire.


Rather than involving attorneys, we will be taking down the song.


For now -- and not for much longer-- you can still hear it here at
https://youtu.be/1eFREsJXESM


BACKGROUND ON THIS SONG:




Uploaded on Sep 9, 2008
TUNE is a PUBLIC DOMAIN Swedish folk Melody that has Russian, German and other languages used with it however Throughout all of these translations, the original Swedish folk tune remained the same and is still public domain.

One of the best-loved gospel songs worldwide, This tune began as a nine-stanza hymn of praise, "O Store Gud" ("O Great God"), written in 1885 by Swedish poet and lay minister Carl Gustav Boberg (1859--1940). In 1891 Boberg published the poem, accompanied by a Swedish folk melody, in Sanningsvittnet (Witness for the Truth), a weekly Christian journal of which he was editor.

Today, the tune is commonly named "Sanningsvittnet" in hymnals.

From its Swedish origins, the text was translated to German in 1907, then to Russian in 1912. The Russian text became the basis for a translation to English by Stuart W. K. Hine (1899--1989), a British Methodist missionary who took it in 1931 while on mission in the Ukraine. The tune gained great popularity in North America after George Beverly Shea began singing a version of it in the Billy Graham evangelistic crusades in 1955. It has been named the #1 favorite hymn by respondents to various polls in both the United States and United Kingdom.

This version is a poem from the Cherokee; Translation /provided below/ into Giduwa /eastern/ Cherokee of a SWEDISH FOLK MELODYfrom 1895 by ME sung slower so you can catch the words as you learn The words are in eastern dialect a hymn of praise

Sorry about the ad showing on this! As you know, I do NOT make ANY $ off my language videos! I am against putting ads on them---therefore, I filed a dispute with YOUTUBE but My NEXT STEP is to TAKE IT DOWN rather than allow ADS to be on it!

the few clip arts used are from http://www.freepixels.com/terms/
=============================
I have tried everything to not allow it but YOUTUBE has it locked even though I have NOT monetized any of my videos

SOMEONE going by a false name is claiming copyright of this song despite the public domain status of the ORIGINAL SOURCE- SWEDISH MELODY (Public Domain) "Sanningsvittnet"

EVEN THOUGH I did my own translation (Eastern Cherokee Dialect) of an old Cherokee Poem
even though it is my OWN VOICE even though the clip art is free uses and even though all the other pictures were taken with MY OWN CAMERA

even though the arrangement is accappella and it is my own arrangement
even though it is in the public domain!

Yes- we did identify the tune most people know this as, but that does not change the source was and remains the public domain Swedish folk melody.

This is a Christian hymn based on a Swedish traditional melody and INSPIRED BY A poem written by Carl Gustav Boberg 1859–1940 in Sweden in 1885 but it is NOT a direct translation of his poem but is rather a Cherokee poem set to the Swedish melody

that makes it PUBLIC DOMAIN
Also- I did my own translation and it is my own voice singing my own arrangement of it.

IN THE CHEROKEE LANGUAGE


Cherokee language hymn PHONETICS

To show this is NOT the song "owned" by anyone else- I am providing a loose translation of what the Cherokee is saying:


1.U ne hla nv i tsa gv wi yu hi tsa ti ni gi di do yu ge li sgo Da ta gi sgo
Ayv da qua os da tsi go di sgo e lo hi tso hla na

/He is Creator
He is our Chief
I see what he has made
I see it is good
everything made on this world/


CHORUS
Agwa da ta / My emotions

No sa ni hi /this about you are/
Agwa da ta /My emotions/

Alive or Dead? Its really up to YOU!

Everyone has a different defintion or TEST for whether or not Cherokee is a "living" or a "dead" language.


But, there is really a very simple way to tell:


To TRULY be ALIVE-


a language must be spoken by
EVERYONE,
EVERYWHERE
at ALL TIMES in the Community-


if you don't hear it spoken this way-
then that language is DEAD.


Dead languages are reserved for certain special occasions;

Dead languages are only spoken by a select few people,

and use of a dead language is restricted to a particular place or location


NOW that you know how to tell if its alive or dead---


PLEASE don't let YOUR language DIE!


Keep it alive- speak it EVERYWHERE to EVERYONE


See, for your language to LIVE-- it must be USED everyday, all the time, everywhere by EVERYONE.


Start speaking Cherokee today.


Even if you only know ONE WORD use that ONE WORD every time you can instead of its English Equivalent.


This language can live.


it just needs your breath!

Cherokee Bible Day is TOMORROW

Cherokee Bible Day is September 18.
That is when families & individuals begin to commemorate the efforts of everyone involved in translating the bible into Cherokee.
September 20 is when CHURCHES commemorate these efforts, many of which receive an offering that is used to buy CHEROKEE BIBLES for young and Old folks who want to read it in their own language.


You can download a ROUGH DRAFT of some prayers you may choose to use during the next 30 days.


Please pray that the project of translation will be completed.

Please pray that all of the translated portions will be made available FREE online to anyone who wants them (We are working on this!)


Please pray for everyone that works on these 2 projects.


You may download the PDF of the rough draft of the prayer book here:
https://sites.google.com/site/tsasuyed/30-days-of-prayer


The finished copy (we expect) will be reviewed by an editor and placed online for those who want it- but we don't have an estimated time that will be completed.


SGI/Wado/ Thank you for your patience!

2nd Book of Moses: Exodus

Friends, a book collector offered us a pristine copy of EXODUS for $3,500.00


Too much!


We explained that we are not attempting to "collect" but instead want the data/words to SHARE.


So, they hunted, and found a less than pristine but still legible copy but it is still $900!


Well, if 18 folks could donate $50 toward this- we could purchase it - use it to transcribe it to the website where EVERYONE can read it--
and donate the original document to an archive or museum.


Let me know if you are interested! :)

Songs for Learning Language: Proven Track Records!

These songs have been
proven
to help some people (those who learn better with songs than with written words) to learn the language:




HYMNS

Did you know you can do a word search?

Did you know you can do a word search?


at the top right corner of the Cherokee Bible Project's website--


you can enter a word in either syllabary, phonetics with hyphens or phonetics without hyphens and as long as it is a complete full word and is in the website somewhere, you will get results. 

It works whether the word is Cherokee or English!




That is why [one reason] we are REFORMATTING THE ENTIRE WEBSITE one word at a time BY HAND by individuals who volunteer their time for this-- so that there will be some variation of every word that anyone might be entering into the search box. [another reason is this helps us proofread each word as well]




as time goes on and more is reformatted-- the search will improve dramatically!


Try the Search -- find a word on any of the pages on any of the LINKS BELOW


Enter that word into the Search box-- and see where else it is found/ used!


A great study tool!


[search tip:  the most hits, right now, come up if you enter the syllabary; 2nd most number of hits if you enter phonetics with the hyphens]






Cherokee Psalms Psalms of David
[Note:  this is on a separate website, so words here will not be searched in the other books at the links below so running 2 separate searches is recommended: one on each site]

a beautiful word to use: ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ

WORD STUDY:
ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ
Ga-lv-quo-di-yu
galvquodiyu
<><><>
Was glorious—Literally, was "in glory".
<><><>


Ꭶ ga- third person pronoun, s/he/it


-lv quo d  verb root for "to honor", "to love", "to be beloved"


also can be understood as "Glorious";


Glory can be translated as "high renown" or "honor"; magnificence; great beauty;


Glory is also a term that, when used in a religious way, means the glow or light that appears around the head of a holy person or saint, like a halo. Another use of glory is a state of high honor gained from great achievements.


Ꮧ / di  suffix, infinitive ending.


[When an infix in Cherokee introduces a double letter, the two letters meld together.  In this particular case, di- the d melds with lvquod and the I melds with ᎢᏳ / i-yu.  Though this infix melds completely with the surrounding infixes, the meaning is retained.]



ᎢᏳ /i-yu suffix, superlative ending, which changes the meaning of lvquod to "to be holy" also indicates "soon to happen"




How its used in the Biblical Texts:




This word ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ is found throughout the Bible, scattered all across the New Testament (notably in the Lord's Prayer in Luke and in Matthew) but also in the Old Testament texts (notably:  the description of the city of Ninevah and in Genesis describing the creation of "lights")


This caused several folks to contact me with questions on why this is used this way.


I will try to elaborate more but for now, here is a quick answer:


FROM THE GREEK
Different words in Greek often are translated by the same word ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ.


Below are some of these original text words that become
ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ.
when translated into Cherokee:




root 1391
Strong's Concordance
doxa: opinion (always good in N.T.), hence praise, honor, glory
Original Word: δόξα, ης, ἡ
Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine
Transliteration: doxa
Phonetic Spelling: (dox'-ah)
Short Definition: honor, renown, glory splendor
Definition: honor, renown; glory, an especially divine quality, the unspoken manifestation of God, splendor.


Strong's Concordance
root 37
hagiazó: to make holy, consecrate, sanctify
Original Word: ἁγιάζω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: hagiazó
Phonetic Spelling: (hag-ee-ad'-zo)
Short Definition: I make holy, sanctify
Definition: I make holy, treat as holy, set apart as holy, sanctify, hallow, purify.


How Jonah & Genesis 10:12 Use it:


Strong's #1419: gadowl (pronounced gaw-dole')
occurs 528 times in various forms
or (shortened) gadol {gaw-dole'}; from 1431; great (in any sense); hence, older; also insolent:--+ aloud, elder(-est), + exceeding(-ly), + far, (man of) great (man, matter, thing,-er,-ness), high, long, loud, mighty, more, much, noble, proud thing, X sore, (X ) very.
Strong's Concordance
gadol: great
Original Word: גָּדוֹל
Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: gadol
Phonetic Spelling: (gaw-dole')
Short Definition: great


We could write an enormous book delving into the meaning of this one Cherokee word:
ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ.
Because, In CHEROKEE- this word means ALL these things--- AND MUCH MORE!




But this is just a short blog- maybe it will inspire you in your own studies of this word.

Too Rude to say-- but what if someone says it to YOU?

this word /phrase I will write about today is actually way too rude to say!


I do not advise you ever use it!


but, in discussing it recently, a friend asked me


"what if someone says it to YOU?"  the idea being, wouldn't I need to know what they just said to me?


well, possibly, but most Cherokee speakers are way too polite to say this TO YOU.


however, just in case,


here it is:
written form:
ᏣᏁᎫ!
/tsa-ne-du/  /tsanedu/


spoken form:
tsanedu or occasionally tsandu


it literally is calling YOU a FOOL /Idiot
and is in the strongest possible language for calling YOU directly to your face, a fool.


as my uncle used to say "them are fightin' words!"


so--
don't use it!


but now you know it if you ever hear it said.


oh, if someone is saying it about somebody else, it changes of course to the "u" pronoun prefix for "s/he/it is a"


again, this is much too rude to say even if you are not saying it to someone's face directly!
