One_Naira: Sucks for me. I'm a visual learner so this would help me a bit but not so much. I wish someone would make a video on how to write and read Igbo. Eze Promoe, you have another task lol. In all seriousness, One_Naira, I don't know the kind of phone you use, but I have an Igbo app on my iPhone. I think the dialect is of Imo (I'm from Anambra), but I still find it helpful. There are visuals with proper accent marks, as well as pronunciations. |

Re: Igbo learning thread + Translator by Nobody: 7:26am On Nov 11, 2012 |
What are the pronouns and some common verbs and negations? I know: a = I i/gi = You o = he/she/it anyi = we unu = You I don't know "they". Some verbs I'd like to know are "be/to be", "can", "will", etc. As per negations, is it always "ro"? As in, "o di ro nma" (it's not good)? |
Re: Igbo learning thread + Translator by Afam4eva(m): 7:28am On Nov 11, 2012 |
ogugua88: What are the pronouns and some common verbs and negations?"ro" can be replaced with "ghi". |

Re: Igbo learning thread + Translator by odumchi: 7:45am On Nov 11, 2012 |
ogugua88: What are the pronouns and some common verbs and negations? Nice. 'They' is ha in standard Igbo. 'To be' is idi (the 'i' before the 'di' means 'to'). 'Can' can be expressed in two ways: inwere ike (literally meaning "to be able to" ) or by adding "ga" as a prefix to a verb and 'li' as a suffix (ex: i ga-biali meaning "can you come?" ) 'Ro' is said mostly in Anambra, and even though it's not the standardized way of saying it, people will still understand what you mean. The standardized one is dighi (the 'ghi' is pronounced like the 'g' in gini) so it would be: o dighi nma. As for pronouns, 'ya' also means "he/she/ it" but is only used when you're talking about something aforementioned. |
