The Blackfoot word is minikxiw
In the Blackfoot language the word for daughter is:itan
Blackfoot can only say "I thank you" (as does correct English, which is sadly no longer used today) - nitsiniiyi'taki.The term for "I love you" is kitsiikákomimmo; "you are loved" is kitsikakomimmokoo.
In Blackfoot you have to express the idea with a verb, such as kitsiikákomimmo (I love you) or akomimmiyuk (love each other), or akomimmis k'inna (love your father) or nit'akomimmo (I love him).
I am assuming you mean the Blackfoot peoples of Alberta, Montana and Saskatchewan, not the Blackfoot Sioux who are an unrelated and distinct tribe with a different language. Even some Native Americans do not realise that there is a difference. The Blackfoot word for the number two is natoka, pronounced nahtohka.
