I wish you outstanding success in your exam.

Lol this is wrong, you can say
"Muna gaisuwa" ="Greetings" or "we are greeting"

"A gaisheku"= "greetings to you"

As to reply I'd say

"Muna amsa, da fatar ka tashi lafiya?"
Meaning
"Greetings accepted, I believe/hope you slept well"
Lol Hausa is quite easy.

bahaushe is another word for hausa. when is d contest nd what are d criteria?

This thread is very educative hope I will catch up in learning the language

wasak:

i thought as much
immediately it start I will notify u, all u will need to do is type 'I vote africanapple', u can also help me convince your friends, fans and followers to vote for me

wasak:

na gode. ke bahaushe ne??

Ke bahaushiya ce? (To a female). Are u an Hausa

If u say "Are u an Hausa?, its difficult for others to know if u r speaking to a female or male without seeing d person in question, but in Hausa, u can actually tell d gender without seeing d person





kai bahaushe ne= are u an Hausa (reffering to a male)




Bahaushiya or bahausa = female Hausa person.





Bahaushe = male hausa person.




Kun gane ko? = you understand? (Referring to a group)



Ka gane ko = referring to a male



Ke gane ko = referring to a female




"Ina fatan kun gane"? I hope u understand. (In dis statement, am I reffering to a male, female or group?) Fastest finger.
