Ojibwemowin: Giga-iskigamizigemin

Noongom gigii-tazhindaamin: today we talked about:

"Ondaanimad" (ohn-daahn-ih-mud), the wind comes from a certain direction;

"Ganabaj wii-kimiwan", it might rain, maybe it will rain;

"Giga-iskigamizigemin (Gih-guh-is-kihg-uh-miz-ih-gay-min): We're going to boil down the sap!

"Jiikendaamoog" (ji-kayn-duh-moog): they're excited, happy

"Woohoo! Gijiikendaamin ji-izhaayang idi imaa iskigamiziganing!" We're really excited to head out to sugar camp!
