Odumchi,Yes,I use elekere so so does everyone in my family except my late dad who used "ataang". Ataang might go extinct or be out of fashion considering that schools and even media houses all use "elekere" |

Central Igbo is changing things. I never knew that things as simple as saying "clock" were changing so fast. Anyway thanks for the description. |

Hello guys and gals. I recently made a searchable online English-Igbo and Igbo-English dictionary. You can find it at http://mkpuruokwu.org/ For example, you can see the definition of house-rat at [url]http://mkpuruokwu.org/dictionary?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=house-rat&dict=en-ig[/url] and the translation of odibo at[url=http://mkpuruokwu.org/dictionary?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=odibo&dict=ig-en] http://mkpuruokwu.org/dictionary?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=odibo&dict=ig-en[/url] . The site also has instructions on adding further entries to the dictionary. I hope you all can contribute so we can build this vital Igbo language resource. |

farleft, are you planning provisions for users to be able submit their own dictionary entries wich can be approved by moderators? It would broaden the dictionary. Also, do you have plans on expanding the website into other fields/updating it, like we have the web 2.0 looking http://dictionary.reference.com/ with 'words of the day', 'quotes', mini-encyclopaedias, or even links to other languages, and, importantly, links to social networking? If I were you, I would make a facebook page and twitter account as soon as possible if you haven't already. |

ChinenyeN: I might be late but i'm ngwa and our family name is kamalu. |
Re: Nairaland Official Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Dictionary by ChinenyeN(m): 10:35pm On Jan 05, 2012 |
naija_diva:I actually met my first Ngwa Kamalu last year shortly after the Ngwa convention. I won't lie, I wasn't as surprised as I thought I'd be. It's just that I'm used to always hearing/reading Kamanu instead. |

Valon4ego:Arinze Chukwu means 2 things: This happened because of God All thanks be to God. A better example: Arinze na i bialu,aguru choro igbu m. Thank God you came,i wud have starved to death. If not for your coming,i would have starved to death. Obviously,the visitor brought the first person food. |
Re: Nairaland Official Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Dictionary by ifyalways(f): 3:29pm On Feb 08, 2012 |

Re: Nairaland Official Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Dictionary by Valon4ego(m): 3:32pm On Feb 08, 2012 |
ifyalways:thanks alot,but i think it also has elements of "if not for". Such a complex word! |
Re: Nairaland Official Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Dictionary by ifyalways(f): 3:39pm On Feb 08, 2012 |
Yes,it does. |
Re: Nairaland Official Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Dictionary by ifyalways(f): 3:48pm On Feb 08, 2012 |
KazaaUpload: I'm not Yoruba but I would try,it looks more like a friendly banter. "Your ear and ur head.Thank u Osan Orudepoh(2nd speakers name maybe?) I want to rest,thank you. If you are done(talking maybe),mind your business. Leave me alone,you make me laugh. If i slap you,you'd see stars(you'd be dazed) I dont have ur time cos its about to rain. Please,I don't know ur name. I would marry you again. Am i holding you?" NOTE:My translations are not perfect. |
Re: Nairaland Official Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Dictionary by Valon4ego(m): 2:58pm On Feb 11, 2012 |
please to the yorubas, how do you use "ko" and "ni"? |
Re: Nairaland Official Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Dictionary by ifyalways(f): 10:02am On Feb 13, 2012 |
Valon4ego:I think its 'nay/no/negative and aye/yes/positive' when used independently but when both are used in same sentence,it becomes "neither" Keyword is think,don't quote me. Emi ko=not me Emi ni=It is me. . .(that did it) Iwo ko,emi ni= its neither of us . . . |

Igbo, is there a more accurate way of saying "to smile" ("ichi ochi" in central Igbo? I know how to say it in both central Igbo and in my dialect but I'm wondering if there's a more accurate way of saying it in Izugbe. |

Re: Nairaland Official Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Dictionary by odumchi: 4:19am On Apr 07, 2012 |
ChinenyeN: We say "Ija eze". Do you know another way of saying it in Izugbe? And what of Ngwa? |
