. HotNaijaBabe: He probably won't understand what you were saying due to accent...lol. I myself have never used that phrase with my Ogoli,eventhough I am a dirty talker. You rarely heard the Igbo use that phrase. It sound so perverted,so, I will advice you to start with phrases like "iligo nni"(have you eaten),"kedu ife na ewe gi"(why are you sad/angry),"kedu ebe ino"(where are you),"uche gi adikwia"(do you understand),"acholum ifu gi"(I wanna see you),"mee osiso"(hurry up),"kedu maka ezi n' uno gi"(how is your family),"kedu ife icholu ka ayi mee"(what do you want us to do),"ka ayi fu ofuebe"(let's meet somewhere) and so on. Don't start learning the dirty ones,first. |

I'm working on a writing project and would appreciate it if someone gave me some Ukwuani names. Some that I already have are: Nwabuife, Udodili, and Ossai. Please be sure to specify the gender. |

Which people say "kiri" for "see/look"? And which people say "anunwa" for "this"? |
Re: Igbo learning thread + Translator by Antivirus92(m): 4:40am On Sep 06, 2013 |
odumchi: Which people say "kiri" for "see/look"?kiri is not specific to any people. Anybody can say "ihe/ife nkiri" or "bia kirie ife na-eme ebea". My town use "anunwa" and "afu" interchangably. |

Re: Igbo learning thread + Translator by odumchi: 5:46pm On Oct 03, 2013 |
How many meanings does the term 'izo azo' have in northern dialects? I've heard it used in so many ways. Ex: Izo eze azo - to be crowned king? Izo nmadu azo - to save someone. |
Re: Igbo learning thread + Translator by EzePromoe: 11:31am On Oct 04, 2013 |
odumchi: How many meanings does the term 'izo azo' have in northern dialects? I've heard it used in so many ways. It occurs in every language including English. E.g 'show' means to lead or guide and a concert or airing of a Tv/radio programme. Same with Igbo, Izo - to save Izo - to contest/battle for something. This is where the suffixes matter. Now you use Izo (puta) - to save Izo (ala/eze/ihe) azo - To battle for land/kingship/a thing unspecified (respectively) |
Re: Igbo learning thread + Translator by manny4life(m): 2:05pm On Oct 04, 2013 |
Antivirus92: it means 'akuzina asiri,jee balu onwe gi uru'. Thanks for asking. LOL |
Re: Igbo learning thread + Translator by odumchi: 5:25pm On Oct 04, 2013 |
Eze Promoe: Thank you for explaining the meaning. The reason I asked is because it doesn't exist in our lexicon in my part of ali Igbo. In my dialect: Ido (pusa) - to save. Ido (ali/eze/ihe) - to dispute over something. |
Re: Igbo learning thread + Translator by Antivirus92(m): 10:05pm On Oct 04, 2013 |
odumchi:can't u just see that it is a difference in dialect. Just difference of " d" and "z". Or do u want to magnify it as usual? |
Re: Igbo learning thread + Translator by odumchi: 10:20pm On Oct 04, 2013 |
Antivirus92: can't u just see that it is a difference in dialect. Just difference of " d" and "z". Or do u want to magnify it as usual? Who asked your input in this? I kpuru isi? Or could you not see that I did not realize that because I did not know what 'izo eze azo' meant? Biko, dowe onu gi ndo. Ekuu gi nwa. |

Re: Igbo learning thread + Translator by ChinenyeN(m): 3:09pm On Oct 05, 2013 |
So this is the height of your paranoia? A person can no longer ask questions about lectal differences without having their motives questioned. Look, if you want to let yourself be controlled by your own paranoia over "division", fine. Just don't attempt to use that to get in the way of another's desire to grow and learn. A simple "it doesn't exist in my lexicon" (meaning, "I'm unfamiliar with the usage" ) and your mind starts reeling. I find this predisposition very annoying. |

ChinenyeN: So this is the height of your paranoia? A person can no longer ask questions about lectal differences without having their motives questioned.he should ask reasonable question. Simple as that. I don't care about how u feel about it. |
Re: Igbo learning thread + Translator by odumchi: 4:00am On Oct 06, 2013 |
Antivirus92: he should ask reasonable question. Simple as that. I don't care about how u feel about it. You do know that no one is forcing you to respond to my questions, o kwa ya? If you don't like them, simply log off of Nairaland and find something else to do with your time. Or in the Owerri man's words: onye shi ala Owerri arii ya nma, ya kwara puma. Biri nga m awuu n'ikike. |

Can someone help me translate the first 30 seconds of this song? His Owere dialect is very thick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecYkNtHm-yQ&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DecYkNtHm-yQ What I think he said: Onye ya na nwanne ya na n'uyo gbakwanuma ari nma ka onye no n'ama. Eji eshi uyo mara nma fuma gbo ari nma ke nde ezhi atugbola mu ujo. Something I couldn't decipher. Amaa onye wu nwanne gi ga so bema." This is what I think it means: When you're at home with your brother, act as you would act if you were outside in the presence of others. Because when I come out of a calm household, the trouble I see in others scares me. No one knows who is a brother (something about crying). |
