Ya’at’eeh is how the Navajo greet each other. It is always accompanied with a hand shake, and, if the people don't know each other, it is usually followed with a real introduction.
Literally means: It is good or it is well.
Additionally, “Yá’át’ééh abiní” is the way to say good morning in Navajo.
It can also be used with ‘shił’ as in ‘shił yá’át’ééh’ to mean ‘I like it.’

Two bros meet at a party and grab hands to shake, one of them saying ya' at' eeh in greeting. When everyone else is like Da Fuq they just grin and flash their tribal tats. They know what's up.
