gboyetade: apa nwata amari obiethe only word i can pick from what you wrote is nwata ,which means a child and apa which could mean scars from a healed wounds. The others i can't seem to know what you are writing, the words could be wrongly spelt. Ask any igbo person around you to help with the correct spellings. |

The right spelling is "apa nwata amaghi obi ya", but because of the way it is spoken fastly it will sound like that and again depending on the dialect. [bThe meaning is "the sores (injury) of a child don't know his/her mind" , which is kinda trying to say that the injury will be painful to him not minding how little he is. It's a proverb though. 1 Like |
