Mii'sago iw
What is this language? And what does it mean?
It's Ojibwe, properly spelled "mii sa go i'iw"; and it means "that's how it is," "that's the way it was," "that's it; that's all."
It's often used in storytelling as way of saying something along the lines of "that's the whole story, the story is over, the end."
Reply:I think it might be Ojibwemowin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ojibwe#Lang...
Although it's a complete guess, because I don't know, I'd say it means "that's who I am". (Taken from Shamengwa - Louise Erdrich - "For I am sentenced to keep watch over this little patch of earth, to judge its miseries and tell its stories. That's who I am. Mii'sago iw.")
Reply:I believe the language is Ojibwe but i don't know what it means.
