It is because of people like you that the Igbo language has been mangled out of shape. Go for a course in Igbo or buy written books in Igbo to improve your igbo, and stop spoiling it.The Igbo language has native words for table (okpokoro), Sugar (okpete/okpoto, ọtọbili), Kitchen (usekwu). A new word has recently been coined for battery, 'obigwe', which literally means, 'the heart of a machine'.

Okpete is sugar cane, not sugar. Like flour made from wheat. As for 'obigwe', I suppose your surname is Obigwe and you want to imortalize it as the Igbo word for battery. Well if enough people will accept to humor you with that, then it shall become an alternative name for battery.

We stand by our own additions, though, which are very practical and yet still Igbotic.

All your translations are spot on.

Sugar is also called Nwa nnu. Sweet Udara is called Udara Nwa nnu, as opposed to the sour one

Languages do borrow (loan words) from other languages. But when the language already has words for the thing in question, and you decide to throw those words away (wholesale) for loan words, you are indeed mangling the language and may be essentially turning it into a pidgin or creole

Hunden, let me test you small. What's the word for veranda/balcony. Also Living Room?

If we love the Igbo language we must make it dynamic and adaptable, or else it will wither in stasis like Latin.

Let me give you an example. The conventional Igbo translation for police is 'ndi uwe oji' which means 'people of the dark cloth'. But how does that stand against the fact that the police now wear blue uniforms too? And besides, is it only policemen that wear dark clothes?

Igbo language needs to be like the ever-flourishing English Language which borrows liberally while still maintaining its essence. What do the Hausa call bread? Brodi, and it dominates the North.
