psalmizt:


Good morning people of nairaland .... hope your re doing well (tashi lafia as the clue )

Jbluv55:

You asked me "ya matan ka"(how is your wife) to which I replied "lafiya nta kalou"(she is very fine). I then asked you "ya naka" which means "how is yours"

You can choose to also say "lafiya nta kalou"(same thing I said) or "Ban da mata yanzu"(I don't have one for now) if you don't have any yet . Ka gane?

BTW, inakwana?

psalmizt:
What is the exact word for but, I see anam I see aman and in some cases i see ama ...,which is which ...

@Jbluv55 my fellow alumni please respond

Jbluv55:

Anam = here

E.g sannu nku anam = una Weldone here

Aman or ama or amma = but

E.g ina son ba ka kudi aman ban da shi yanzu = I want to give you money but I don't have it now

Ka gane?

Jbluv55:

I hope I qualify as a new student sir

Good morning all Nairaland males and females, I believe/hope you all woke up well?

neighy:
l0l... Ban da mata yanzu... Lafiya Lau... Sanu

Jbluv55:

Ka = 2nd person male (i.e if you are referring to another male)

While

Na = 1st person(yourself)

So if I ask "Ka gane?", you are supposed to respond "Na gane"(I understand) or "Ban gane ba"(I don't understand)

Ka ji ko? = You hear so?

psalmizt:


You re not a student Sir!

Jbluv55:

Actually I am. I just took a keener interest than others. There are still plenty of words I do not know the meaning .

Jbluv55:

Toh! But hope you know that you can't learn fast if you ain't prepared to make mistakes
