Gvlieliga

Q: What is the meaning and language of the word gvlieliga?

AIt's Cherokee. It's a polite comment similar to the English phrase "you're welcome"-- something you say in response to "thank you." Literally it means "I'm glad," or "my pleasure."

Hope that is interesting, have a good day!

    1. Yes, that also has a literal meaning like "I rejoice." It can be used as a reply to wado (thank you) as well, and it also can mean "congratulations"-- if somebody tells you good news you can say "gvlielitseha!"
