Wiz-Prince: The original question sef, is not efficient. The beauty of pidgin, proper pidgin mind, is how it strips the language to the bare minimum. Simple, effective, understood. So instead of the above, you should say WETIN U TAKE SENIOR ME? Contd ../ U WAN COME HERE BEGIN DO YANGA? U DEY CRAZE, WAIT MAKE I COMOT SHIRT FOR BODI (Sorry - got carried away - love ma pidgin oh) |

Since the question implies that the person asking the question thinks the listener is older, here's one of the more accurate translations: You are how many years my senior? 1 Like 1 Share |

Wallie: Since the question implies that the person asking the question thinks the listener is older, here's one of the more accurate translations:Indeed, starting a question with 'you are' is not proper. Why not say,how many years are you my senior?( which is not even correct). Senior means older in rank not age! |

| Re: Translate This Pidgin English To Correct English by paris10: 4:43pm On Nov 15, 2012 |
What if I say... "By what margin am I your junior?". This tends to eliminate completely the use of senior or other colloquials. |
