the Navajo 指的是納瓦荷族這整個民族。他們住在美國西南部。主要在亞利桑那、新墨西哥和猶他州。這是全美國人數最多的原住民族。這個說法前面要加 the。動詞要用複數：The Navajo have…。這裡的 Navajo 不加 -s，複數的訊息由 the 和動詞帶出來。要講其中一個人，就換成單數 a Navajo。另外注意讀音：中間的 j 唸成 h 的音。

中文翻譯納瓦荷族是美國最大的部族。
In this use the word names the whole people, and it comes with the in front of it and a plural verb: the Navajo have, the Navajo live. The form does not take -s here, which surprises learners — the plural is carried by the and by the verb. To talk about one person you drop back to the countable use: a Navajo. The spelling Navaho is also used and sounds the same. Note that the j is said like an h, from the word's Spanish route.

文法可數名詞：前面可以加 a/an，要表示複數時常常加 -s。
Navajo 單獨當可數名詞時，指這個民族裡的一個人。單數是 a Navajo。複數是 Navajos，也有人寫 Navajoes。這個字一定大寫。實際說話時，很多人會說 a Navajo man 或 a Navajo woman。那樣講比單獨一個名詞更具體、也更自然。同一個拼法還可以指整個民族和他們的語言，要靠句子判斷。
Here the word is countable: a Navajo for one person, Navajos or Navajoes for several. It always keeps its capital letter. In everyday speech people often say a Navajo man, a Navajo woman or Navajo families, because that sounds more specific than the bare noun. The same spelling names the whole people and the language, so the words around it do the sorting.
