Montracine: "For those of you who claim..." Is too rude |

Montracine: Translating ''I Miss You'' to Igbo won't make any sense, it won't mean the same the same thing and Igbo have its own way of saying such thing, It's like saying good morning in Igbo, translating it to Igbo doesn't make sense |
Re: Igbo speakers please help us translate this English words/Sentence to Igbo by Nobody: 8:17pm On Sep 14, 2019 |
Fulanization: I disagree. Good morning= Ututu oma Ututu means morning , Oma means Good. What happens here is just inter change So you can't use this analysis to explain I miss you because it won't hold water. Generate each and every word for I miss you and know if it will make sense even if you re- arrange. I disagree with the context of your explanation. Is totally unconstitutional, ultra vires, null and void and of no effect. |

MelesZenawi: Ututu-oma doesn't make sense in Igbo The people say “I boola chi” or “I saala chi” |
Re: Igbo speakers please help us translate this English words/Sentence to Igbo by Glorymax: 9:11pm On Sep 14, 2019 |
Montracine: I Miss You; Anya gi emegbuolam It Depends, can be translated; O ga-adabere |
Re: Igbo speakers please help us translate this English words/Sentence to Igbo by Nobody: 9:19pm On Sep 14, 2019 |
Fulanization: Just hearing that for the first time.. While I boola chi is still correct, Ututu oma is also correct. |
Re: Igbo speakers please help us translate this English words/Sentence to Igbo by Nobody: 9:25pm On Sep 14, 2019 |
Glorymax: Anya gi emegbuolam No what about A na m atụ ụche gị It varies...Give it up |
Re: Igbo speakers please help us translate this English words/Sentence to Igbo by Glorymax: 9:35pm On Sep 14, 2019 |
MelesZenawi: A na m atụ ụche gị; they are similar anyway but it implies EXPECTANT as well |

Montracine: The truth is these sentences don't have direct translated equivalents in Igbo language. Between any two language translations, some sentences are easily translated and for some, it could be said in a different way but carry similar meanings. Also, some sentences in Igbo are hard to translate directly into English but rather the closest sentence carrying a similar meaning is rendered instead. Natively, Igbos have had their own way of expressing these two sentences in the Igbo language. For example, anya gi na-eme m, anya gi etc....carry the same meaning as 'I miss you' yet spoken differently. 1 Like |

Glorymax: Both not the meaning at the end. |

bigfrancis21: I think I will agree with the explanation instead of those giving non-existent meaning. |
