Today's Navajo Word of the Day is: 2012. To say this in Navajo, you say "Naakidi mííl yázhí  dóó bi'aan naakits'áadah." To use it in a sentence, you would say, "Naakidi mííl yázhí  dóó bi'aan naakits'áadahgóó yihah," which means, "The year is 2012."        The breakdown:        Naakidi: Two of them    Mííl (millin) yázhí (little one): thousand    Dóó: and    Bi'aan: over it    Naakits'áadahgóó: twelve (-góó is hard to describe)    Yihah: the year        You can also say, "Naakidi mííl yázhí  dóó bi'aan naakits'áadahgóó yoołkááł." Yoołkááł means "day" but it means the sentiment, "It is 2012."
