Re: Biafrans Please Teach Me Igbo! by PrinxArthur1(m): 7:14am On Apr 15, 2021 |
Ogamysamo:due to the fact that table is a heavy object , you cannot just say "give me table" you can only say carry the table+ adding a pronoun "m" (bunyem or buterem igbe) I.e bunye means to carry the table from one position to another "M" is the pronoun |

Ogamysamo: O di nma = e dey good. Are you aware that 'dey' in Pidgin (Pidgin English was developed by slaves in the Caribbean, including a significant number of Igbo slaves, and imported into Africa by the missionaries) comes from the Igbo word, 'di'? di and dey are used exactly the same way and it is used to ascribe a characteristic unto someone. O di nma = it is good (O in Igbo is the pronoun for singular he/she/it, Igbo language does not have different pronouns for male, she, it etc) O di njo = it is bad O na-abia = he/she/it is coming 'kwa' in Igbo is used for emphasis. 'O dikwa good' is just Engiligbo for 'it is good'. O di omimi = it is deep (in reference to a well or a complex concept). The use of 'NA' in Igbo language The second use of 'na' in Igbo language is for conjuction, aka 'and'. Obi na Ada = Obi and Ada Obi na Ada na-abia = Obi and Ada are coming The plural pronoun for Obi and Ada in Igbo is 'ha' Ha na-abia = they are coming. Some parts of Anambra such as Onitsha, Ogbaru etc would say 'fa'. Fa na-abia. Garri na egwusi = gari and egusi. Elu na ala = up and down Mu na gi = me and you Gi na ha = you and them etc (dgz). |
