how can u translate languages directly. One of d features and characteristics of d British English is manipulations on translation frm other languages. So many words in English are gotten frm latin on manipulation. So, its 100% wrong to translate directly unless u did jst 4 fun. Atleast am sure abt anytin I say when it cums to Igbo language.

U set a notion and ended up saying d opposite. "There is 'absolutety' no difference, EVEN THOUGH". D literal translation u were talking abt, what is it? U made it to b 'absolute' then why d EVEN THOUGH. Dnt mix words out of sentiment. U jst made a null and void statement.

The word of someone who wants to start up an e-fight. Unfortunately for you, this is a class not an e-warfront.

He didn't put the exclamation.

Pyguru is the website's automatic anti-spam bot. It sometimes confuses people's posts as spam. I've fixed it.

Re: Igbo learning thread + Translator by Nobody: 4:15am On Jan 08, 2013
[size=13pt]^^^ I think I've heard the name before.

"O bia" - he/she comes. I think Obiageli is "she who comes/came to enjoy".

ODUMCHI, o di ro nma o! The dictionary you linked for us is gone! *crying* lol. Seriously though, I'm sad. I can't find another one as good as the one previously supplied.[/size]

That's awfully strange. I wonder what happened to it. I too haven't come across a dictionary that great before. Good things never seem to last lol.

Here's another one: (it's not as great or as navigable as the first but it's something, I guess) http://www.archive.org/stream/anthropologicalr02thomuoft/anthropologicalr02thomuoft_djvu.txt

Oh, and I'll send you an email sometime later this week in order for us to start planning when to officially start our tenure.
