safarigirl: Igbos call it Ekeresimesi. Yoruba and Igbo languages are sometimes alikeThe words were invented and have no roots in Igbo or Yoruba, so they're not alike. |

Afam4eva: I don't know why people are surprised that Christmas is called similarly in different languages when Christmas in itself is imported and has no roots in any African culture. So, since there were no particular words in these languages that could appropriately mean "Christmas", it's just pronounced with the intonation of whichever language. It's just as Jesus is "jesu" or "yesu" in a lot of languages.Yeah right. Kill-joy! 1 Like |
