Hello everyone, I have been studying this thread for like a week now, but this is my first time actually posting.I need some translation help for this igbo cartoon on some parts I can't understand.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HePRdg1IMo

The parts i can't grasp are:

Part at 0:14(i di afo...?),

0:25-35(something about helping and wanting to learn igbo).

0:42-0:46(ngwa...?),

0:49 (confused if he's saying he works in nigeria because he already said he was a doctor in texas).

And 1:10-1:26.

Thank You!
Re: Igbo learning thread + Translator by TobennaU: 5:19am On Feb 15, 2016
Also how would you recommend pronouncing the "gb" "kp" and the "ṅ"(drink) sounds in igbo. I kind of got the gb part down but the "kp" is difficult as well as the "ṅ" which is a lot more nasal.

Thank You again.

Hello! My first time posting on here too but I'm really enjoying the thread. Haven't even gone through it all, but to answer your questions:

0:14: I di afo ole ugbu a?

How old are you now?

0:25-0:35: Biko nara m aka, Nna, I tochaana. I ghorola dimkpa. Obinna, nwanne m, onye a na-ekili anyi choro I muta Igbo. I nwere ike I kowaara ya onye I bu?

That's right, my man (or: please give me a handshake, my man), you're fully grown now. You're now a man. Obinna, my brother, this guy here (literally: this person watching us now) wants to learn Igbo. Can you tell him about yourself?

0:42: Ngwa gezie m nti ka m kowara gi onwe m.

Alright, listen to me let me tell you who I am.

0:49: A bu m onye Orlu, na stati Imo, na Nigeria (not Igbo spelling). E bi m na Texas, n'Amerika. A bu m onye dibia bekee n'ulo ogwu. A di m afo iri ato na-abuo ugbu a. E nwere m nwanyi. Aha nwunye m bu Chinyere.

I am from Orlu in Imo state in Nigeria. I live in Texas, (in) America. I'm a Western doctor in a hospital. I'm 32 years old now. I have a woman. My wife's name is Chinyere.

1:10-1:26: O bu onye Nigeria mana a muru ya na London. O gbara afo iri ato mana o ga-agba afo iri ato na-otu n'onwa abuo n'abia abia.

She's Nigerian but was born in London. She's 30 but will be turning 31 in 2 months (in 2 months coming up)

Not perfect, but I hope that helps.
