dziʼizí = bicycle in Navajo
The Navajo language as always amuses me with its simplicity yet to-the-pointedness if there’s such a word.
The word literally means “a man pedals it”.
If you want to be precise, you could say: “dziʼizí bijáád naakiígíí” = “a man pedals it and it has two wheels” and if you ride a tricycle you say: “dziʼizí bijáád táʼígíí” = “a man pedals it and it has three wheels”.
Finally “motorcycle” is “dziʼizítsoh” = “a man pedals it and it is big”.
