Damn my Navajo being crappy... There's a hello in there, though!  And a first person pronoun, maybe?

"It's not good with me," i.e. "DO NOT WANT!"  I actually suggested a variant of this idiom to Frommer, if he didn't already have a verb for "to like."  :)

Wtf?  Well, I got my first-person pronoun, but isn't yá'át'éeh "hello"?  Or is it "good," and just used as a greeting?

It's just "it's good" used as a greeting.  The usual answer is, in fact, "aoo', yá'át'ééh" "yes, it's good."

Ah, okay...  À la "Ça va? Ça va."  Nice.

Also, I am glad that I got two out of four Navajo words without having studied Navajo!
