smile4kenn:Ile (eele) means land in this context. "ilei"(home) is different from Ile (land). Phemour: Ojo ibi is the right translation. Ojo ibu is actually a bad thing, it means day of sadness. 10 Likes |

ohaechesi: 'Ukwa', like Aki na Ukwa (Aki and Paw Paw), *EDIT: Sorry, I think 'Ukwa' is breadfruit.* 'Maggi' is 'Maggi' because it is a brand such as 'coke', There is no word for 'Tomato' in Igbo because it originates from the Americas just like the potato, therefore just say tomato until we make up a word for it, maybe. 1 Like |
