Good ta know - A coupla injun werds (Apache)

[Timmie Hax]

Everyone who's ever been to a foreign country with different language knows: the natives are (usually) always happy to be adressed in their own language. Greeting a French with "Bonjour" and a Mexican with "Buenos Dias" will most probably be rewarded with a smile and cooperativeness. Using a few native words is a sign of respect and shows that you are at least trying to communicate in the foreign language as good as you can. It's the same with the Apaches, although it might happen that you run into a slightly bitchy example that goes "White-eye no use word of tribe! You no Apache!" but experience shows that an unfaked, friendly smile and a "Dago-Te" increases the chances to survive an encounter with Apaches. Well, I found a few more Apache-expressions that could be useful in daily-life-situations. Here they are :o)
