berem: the way you translated it na!

indeed a wrong translation culd embaras one..i rememba this incident way back in my preclinical days at samaru.there was this dude of mine 4rm edo who luvd sugarcane.it was usual 4 us to just go opposite d north gate 2 buy sugarcane b4 proceeding 2 our tdb.this happend on one such occaisions btw my pal biggy and an elderly woman surrounded by a crowd
biggy:mama akwai rake?(mama is dere sugarcane)
mama:akwai,(there is)
biggy:ki bani gindi mai dadi irin wanda kin saba bani(wat he meant wanted 2 say was pls giv me d usual sweet part but literaly d translation is giv me dat sweet nyash u used 2 giv me)

Pakavy: biggy:ki bani gindi mai dadi irin wanda kin saba bani(wat he meant wanted 2 say was pls giv me d usual sweet part but literaly d translation is giv me dat sweet nyash u used 2 giv me)

You see instead of 'ki bani gindi mai dadi irin wanda kin saba bani' it should read 'ki bani gindi mai ZAKI irin wanda kin saba bani'

chakula:

You see instead of 'ki bani gindi mai dadi irin wanda kin saba bani' it should read 'ki bani gindi mai ZAKI irin wanda kin saba bani'

Nope! 'ki bani gabban raken nan mai zakin wanda kin saba bani' is appropriate.

begwong:
Nope! 'ki bani gabban raken nan mai zakin wanda kin saba bani' is appropriate.

Eya you miss road in real Hausa dialect it should 'ki ba ni KUTUTUN raken nan mai zaki da ki ka saba ba ni' forget if Hausa did not born you!
