Omarbah: I think you mean a different form of 'min' and not 'men' right? Do you guys also have pronouns not used with verbs for example "min" - me "an" - you "kanko" - he/she enen, minin - we onon - you kambe - they 1 Like |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by Omarbah: 10:53pm On Sep 15, 2014 |
Of all the pronons, "We" has many equivalents in Fulfulde and each use depends on the situation and who you are talking to. For example: We are behind you , in Fulfude meɗen ɓaawo mon We are behind them --------- hiɗen ɓaawo maɓe or enen hiɗen ɓaawo maɓe Now that I think of it, Fulfulde is really complicated. It's like the French version of West African languages. ![]() |

this looks very painful. My mom went to Mali on a business trip and the Fulbe she met there told here that to be a Real Pullo, a woman from Mali needs to do this. 1 Like

Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by Nobody: 12:42am On Sep 16, 2014 |
Omarbah: yeah, I did...... lol at the reference to French... it is true though. |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by Omarbah: 12:47am On Sep 16, 2014 |
Bororojo:Once you start thinking of it, you realize how sophisticated Pulaar/Fulfulde is. I have trouble understanding my parents' conversations at times when they use certain expressions and proverbs. In Futa, I remember , my friends would talk is Junniti (reversing the words), they would loose me every single time. Do you guys have that? |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by Nobody: 1:03am On Sep 16, 2014 |
Omarbah: like tongue twisters, and reverse order? we've got many... How about consonant mutation in Fulfulde (Like words can look completely different in singular and plural forms)...... another tricky aspect of the language....i.e MAN GORKO (s) WORBE (p) FREEBORN DIIMO (s) RIIMBE (p) SAVIOUR HISNOOWO (s) KISNOOBE (p) WOMAN DEBBO (s) REWBE (p) SHOE FADDO (s) PADDE (p) NOSE HINERE (s) KINE (p) STONE HAARE (s) KA'E (p) (DID) YOU WAKE UP IN PEACE?

the fact that our ancestors wrote texts in our language as far back as the heydays of Timbuktu contributed in my opinion in making rich. |

Omarbah: the fact that our ancestors wrote texts in our language as far back as the heydays of Timbuktu contributed in my opinion in making rich. a language has to be rich, before you can translate complete texts in it.... no? The richness and diversity of Fulfulde/Pulaar .... in your opinion, do you think it a plus or a disadvantage? |

Omarbah: the fact that our ancestors wrote texts in our language as far back as the heydays of Timbuktu contributed in my opinion in making rich. What alphabets did they use ? |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by Omarbah: 1:39am On Sep 16, 2014 |
Bororojo:at the moment, it's a disadvantage, I bet the brothers in North West were drawn toward Hausa due to simplicity. Same thing happen with French, people prefer it for literature, the Olympic. If we were to teach it to our people and promote something like Poetry which the Iranians do (both Islamists and non Islamists), we'd create interest in it. That's why I am so into that lesecritsislamiquesdufouta which posts poetry. Down in the road, we'll need to build an academy. I already know where we can put the seat, what other place than Mamou, the center of Guinea where all the ethnic groups meet. 1 Like |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by Omarbah: 1:41am On Sep 16, 2014 |
CAMNEWTON4PRES:they used Arabic characters. It was the case up until recently when the French came. Turkish language was written in Arabic characters too before Kemel Attaturk decided to make them "Europeans" and switched to latin alphabet. |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by CAMNEWTON4PRES: 1:41am On Sep 16, 2014 |
Alphabet or script? |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by CAMNEWTON4PRES: 1:44am On Sep 16, 2014 |
Omarbah: Okay so that means prior the Arabs you had no alphabet or script right? No texts/books either Don't get me wrong I'm actually trying to find and know African ethnic group who developped their own script or alphabet without any external influence So far only Ethiopian |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by Nobody: 1:44am On Sep 16, 2014 |
CAMNEWTON4PRES: Arabic. |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by Nobody: 1:47am On Sep 16, 2014 |
CAMNEWTON4PRES: yes, before the introduction of Arabic script, Fulfulde was mainly an Oral language. |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by Omarbah: 1:48am On Sep 16, 2014 |
CAMNEWTON4PRES:No we did not have it. Like the Turks we were just a bunch of nomads, move from place to place. Fulanis back then used to be fearless. I wish we had the same values our ancestors did. |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by CAMNEWTON4PRES: 1:50am On Sep 16, 2014 |

Bororojo: Okay I wonder what makes a group develop a script and another not to, I'm trying to apply logic but i fail to see any explanation |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by Omarbah: 1:54am On Sep 16, 2014 |
CAMNEWTON4PRES:to be fair, a Maninka has developed an alphabet called N'ko but it's recent though. |
Re: Meet The Most Beautiful People On Earth- The Fulanis by Nobody: 1:54am On Sep 16, 2014 |
CAMNEWTON4PRES: Lifestyle mainly..... organized groups with central authorities are more likely to develop a script than nomadic groups loosely tied together. |
