YorokobiAssaiki, it means "yes, that's true!" and the other has many translations in english, depending on context, but "come, let's have fun," or "come on, let's play," (as in having fun on the boards with verbal dialogue; that is the phrase I use when gathering allies to argue with people with unswayable opinions! some people can take cartoons WAY too seriously - it should be fun!)
Minagi, thanks! - But my family, on Dad's side, has a double dose of stubborn heritage and can hold grudges without speaking to each other for decades! Mom's just constantly fight amongst themselves (so they have to talk! Allies and ememies are always in flux, like a soap opera!)
it can be entertaining; but I havn't been back to the midwest or Germany in many years...maybe that's why I'm not insane!
And I don't think you can pronounce "Cherokee" in German; they have no "ch" sound, so it would come out "SHerokee!" Like mom says "sheck" or "shampion"! (no "w" or "th" sound either, it got entertaining at our house when we dared to mock her!)
My dad says we are Cherokee(the "civilized" tribe, and most accepted by society, at the time), but 2 of his brothers said we are Pawnee. Grandmaw never said (she died when I was very young), and as she was born in the 1890's, she ashamed of her Indian heritage and didn't speak of it, much.
