Muskogee Words

Q: Hello I'm learning to speak Muskogee. I'm trying to get back with my culture. I was wondering how you say "I love you" in Muskogee? Mvto!

AHesci! "I love you" is "Ecenokecvyēt os" (pronounced ih-chih-no-kih-chuh-yeet ose.)

Have a good day!

  1. Would the E's in this word ALL be long, or short like in the word "IT"?

    1. No, only the "e" with the mark over it in the orthography we are using ("ē") is long. The others are short and are normally pronounced like the "i" in "it." Hope that helps!
