Step 3 : The indefinite article in Cherokee

The indefinite article is what we call the word a in English. The indefinite article is used with nouns in English (a book, a chair, a door etc.). To get started in Cherokee, pick just 3 important nouns. We suggest you learn the nouns gowelí, gasgiló and asdūdí (book, chair, door). Once you have learned these nouns, you can then learn how to use each noun with the indefinite article. This is easy in Cherokee, because in Cherokee, there is no indefinite article. So the word gowelí can mean book or a book, the word gasgiló can mean chair or a chair and the word asdūdí can mean door or a door. You can scroll to the top of this page to see a short lesson about the indefinite article in Cherokee including useful examples. Once you have learned to use the indefinite article with the Cherokee nouns gowelí, gasgiló and asdūdí, you're ready to move on to Step 4 (the definite article in Cherokee).
