How do you say very well thank in Cherokee?

There isn't a single direct translation of "very well thank you" in Cherokee, as the language expresses thanks and well-being in a more nuanced way.

Here are some options depending on the specific context:

For general well-being and thanks:

* "Yv'sdi!" (pronounced "ee-v-sdi") - This means "Thank you!" and conveys appreciation for something done.

* "Ani wv'li!" (pronounced "ah-nee w-vli") - This means "I am well!" and can be used to express well-being in response to a greeting.

* "Ani wv'li, yv'sdi!" (pronounced "ah-nee w-vli, ee-v-sdi") - This combines the two phrases above and is a polite way to say "I am well, thank you."

For a specific situation where you're acknowledging someone's kindness:

* "Ani wv'li, yv'sdi, [person's name]!" (pronounced "ah-nee w-vli, ee-v-sdi, [person's name]") - This adds the person's name and is a more personal way to say "Thank you for your kindness, I am well."

For expressing gratitude for something specific:

* "[Specific item or action] di-yv'sdi!" (pronounced "[specific item or action] dee-ee-v-sdi") - This expresses gratitude for a specific item or action, such as "Food di-yv'sdi!" (Thank you for the food!).

For a more formal or emotional expression:

* "Ani wv'li, yv'sdi, da-ge-tsda!" (pronounced "ah-nee w-vli, ee-v-sdi, dah-geh-ts-dah") - This means "I am well, thank you, my heart is good," and conveys deep appreciation.

It's important to note that the best way to express "very well thank you" in Cherokee will depend on the specific situation and the relationship between the speakers.
