I am wondering about our proficiency in handling figures in our languages so, I would like us to challenge each other in this field. Let me start. 7,809 Igbo - Puku asaa, nari asato na iteghete/itolu.  111 Igbo - otu nari, iri na otu  Pleas feel free to interprete in your own language and drop figures you would love interpreted by others. The list is endless. |

Do I believe in re-incarnation? As a christian, NO, I don't. The traditional Igbo man believes in re-incarnation though. |

210,563,776,841 Ijeri nari abuo na iri, Nde nari ise, iri isii na ato, Puku nari assa, iri asaa na isii, nari asato, iri ano na otu |

echelon: I asked that question because your grip on the language is uncommon in this generation; as if you came from generations before us. Well done my man Ok, echelon: You are correct but the 'nari' in the billion, million and thousand should come first. See what I mean below: Nari ijeri abuo na iri, nari nde ise na iri isii na ato, nari puku asaa na iri asaa na isii, nari asato, iri ano na otu. You are a great man. I am really challenged. Kudos  |
