Our November 2022 Native Word of the Month features a video clip from our upcoming Storyteller language profile on Denaakk’e teacher, Susan Paskvan.
Dot’aanh? = What is he/she/it doing?
“It’s a good word to know for language learners because you can ask ‘what is the man doing’ or ‘what is the dog doing’?” Susan shared. “It’s a pretty powerful word.”
