Epathra: Plz what does Ifreke Abasi and wanfom means? Dunno if I spelt correctly tho It's not Wanfom but Uwakmfon. It means Plenty of Goodness. The full meaning of the name is Uwakmfon Abasi which will mean Plenty of God's goodness. It's a nice name too. 1 Like |

SlyIg: This thread has got over 3600 views! I suspect you were discouraged by the dwindling response and the no-gooders. You should have just ignored and moved on. Your work here is well appreciated but it's not done. No, not yet. You promised more translations so endeavour to fulfil it. Thank you 1 Like |

Re: Beautiful Names In Efik/ibibio by SlyIg(f): 5:55pm On Nov 11, 2016 |
babyfaceafrica: dialect differences. efik is spoken by the Cross Riverians. Efik speaking people do understand other dialects. |

emmye:Effiong is a name after 1 of Efik old market days.(I think Fiongaran or something like that) The female version is Affiong. Same as Etim and Atim, Edet and Arit, Asuquo and Iquo, etc., the are all names from Efik market days and so the are Efik names. |
Re: Beautiful Names In Efik/ibibio by ibibiogrl: 9:54am On Nov 20, 2016 |
babyfaceafrica:I've lived in Abak & Calabar for a while so I can tell you the differences in language. Words could be similar like English: I cannot, Annang: Nkarake, Ibibio: Nkanna, Efik :Nkemeke. Words can also be totaly different like English:feces, Annang:Afid, Ibibio:Uduang, Efik:IfVO. Example of sentences- English:-1) My house is were we all are/We're all in my house. 2) This is my house Annang:-1) Ilung Ida ke afide ajid itie. 2)Ilung ida ade ami Ibibio: 1) Ufok mmi ke afit nyin iba. 2) Ufok mmi ado mi Efik:-1) Ebiet Idung mmi ke kpukpru nyin idu. 2) Ebiet idung mmi edi emi. Most Ibibios & Efiks Do Not Understand Annang except the have lived in the Annang region, but yet still language is the most similar aspect of the 3 Groups as their traditions is Completely DIFFERENT! Here are the Major differences in Cultures between Efik, Annang & Ibibio READ more Here https://www.nairaland.com/609355/whats-major-differance-between-igbo 1 Like |

ibibiogrl:Wow!!!!....am really greatful...so from your write up..it seems efik and ibibio can understand one another to a large point..but not annang...nice!!....which is easier to learn..I will learn? |
Re: Beautiful Names In Efik/ibibio by ibibiogrl: 12:17am On Nov 21, 2016 |
babyfaceafrica:Well the older Ibibio who grew up in the old Cross River state before Akwa Ibom state was separated, can understand Efik more because it was the main language spoken then officially in the state. But the younger Ibibio growing up in Akwa Ibom state can only understand a little Efik, mainly the parts similar to Ibibio. Efik may understand Ibibio more than Annang because Ibibios are a majority & lots of them still live in Calabar. Aside from that all 3 can only understand parts of each other languages to an extent, basic parts that are similar. I might say Ibibio is the easiest, but that might be because am Ibibio & that is the language spoken in my family. So it's better to learn the one spoken more around you. The 3 languages are like French, Italian and Spanish. Comparison to Spanish, French and Italian in greeting How are You? (Die pronounce as Dear) Annang: Atie die? (Pronounced as) Atie lie? Ibibio: Aba die? Efik: Etie didie? Spanish: Cómo estás? French: Comment ça va? Italian : Come sta ? So now you can see that Ibibio, Annang and Efik in language are just like French, Spanish and Italian. 5 Likes |
