Nnasoki= i love you , Matana =wife , what would be the words for ( will you be my wife ) I know it is western African but not sure which language . Thank You for the help |
Re: Translation by netotse(m): 2:06pm On Jul 10, 2010 |
this should be under culture. . . the language is hausa. . . mata na is 'your wife' mata is wife. . .i'm not sure about the spellings, and i cant speak hausa, i just know the common words i like/love you is ina so' n'ki not nnasoki(it's not ibo. . .lol) literally it translates to i am have like for you. . .if it's a girl telling a guy it's ina'so'n'ka in hause ki is you(female) ka is the male if the topic is moved to culture it'd be easier for you to get replies. . . i'll check back in a couple of hrs, if no one's answered you by then, i'll try and help |

Re: Translation by netotse(m): 8:56pm On Jul 10, 2010 |
odunnu def isn't hausa. . .she's too soji. . .isn't 'odunnu' a yoruba name? |
Re: Translation by Odunnu: 9:06pm On Jul 10, 2010 |
What does Odunnu mean in yoruba language? Wht do u also mean by 'odunnu is too soji?' |
Re: Translation by Odunnu: 9:07pm On Jul 10, 2010 |
Hmmm |
Re: Translation by netotse(m): 9:26pm On Jul 10, 2010 |
Odunnu: dunno i was just guessing t'was yoruba as per the soji thing, the way you choose your words and phrases. . .if i read enough of what someone writes i have an idea of the way a person's mind works, you cant be hausa. . .if you are, you didn't grow up with hausa people, you dont reason like them. |

^^^^ hey! Netotse just asked "what happened?" okay lets start with numerals 1= daya 2=biyu 3=uku 4=hudu 5=biyar 6=shida 7=bakwai (sounds more like 'bokoi') 8=takwas (sounds more like 'tokos') 9=tara 10=goma 20=ashirin 50=hamsin 100=dari 200=dari biyu 500=dari biyar 1,000 =dubu daya 100,000= dubu dari and so on in case it has to do with money, u call the curency before the number for instance: naira dari (hundred naira) dala goma (10 dollar) 1 Like |

How do you construct sentences e.g Monica is wearing an ugly dress, do you place the verb before the adjective or pronouns Or do you just write or say it like english |
