lucenzo: How do you say this in igbo

Je suis désolé pour faire dérailler ce fil et à ma
belle Ogugua, un joyeux Noël.
English translation: I'm sorry to
derail this thread
and my beautiful
Ogugua a Merry
Christmas.

Igbo translation: O n'ewutem etu m si e deghe isi okwu edeghe, na omalicham, Ogugua (ka m n'asi) ekeresimesi añuli.

Thanks. Its always hard for me differentiate between the two of them, especially in pronunciation.
Re: Igbo learning thread + Translator by EzePromoe: 3:41pm On Dec 23, 2012
In my own dialect (Idemili). We describe it as thus:
turn on the light- gbayi oku
turn off the light- gbanyuo oku

In some dialects, the 'ny' sound is omitted. Words like gbanye (turn on), tinye (put), and bunye (carry) are pronounced as: gbai, tii, and bui. Is Ikwere the same way?

Not really. Ikwere speaks 'gbanye oku' as 'gbasi nku', 'tinye ya' as 'tii a' then 'bunye ya' as 'bui a', even 'buru ya' is spoken as 'paru a'

You are welcome, bro.
ChinenyeN: lol Doesn't seem as though Eze Promoe is all that fond of his Ikwere side.
Emmm, not really. When the natives aren't bothered in promoting their language, you will do likewise. Many Ikweres of up to 90% including the intelligent ones can't write their language very well, but i use my experience in Igbo language to do that.
J12: So eze promoe bu onye ikwerre?
Ikwere is my maternal home.
