ChrisWillows: Hello, what dos it mean ALOYE in Yoruba Thank you!alonye? Dunno, only know of "oloye"* which means king/chief. * =spelling might be wrong. |

Could also be alaaye, living being. But hard to say, never heard aloye before, it sounds like some Edo name called Aloaye. Oye is easy to identify, but no idea where you would get "al" from, can't think of any word that would make sense. Al = seller/owner. An owner of oye?? You sure it's Yoruba? |

Re: Nairaland Official Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Dictionary by dominique(f): 9:25pm On Apr 25, 2013 |
Thanks. Is that what they call it among the Delta Igbo too? |
Re: Nairaland Official Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Dictionary by odumchi: 11:06pm On Apr 25, 2013 |
dominique: Thanks. Is that what they call it among the Delta Igbo too? That's what it's called in general Igbo; I don't know the local variant(s) for it in Delta. Since it's general Igbo, every Igbo person, irrespective of origin, ought to understand you, though. |

Table Cashew Radio Vacation Can anyone help with the Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba and Tiv names for the above words? |
Re: Nairaland Official Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Dictionary by odumchi: 2:28am On May 04, 2013 |
youngies: Table Igbo Table - okpokoro Cashew - asiboko Radio - Ngere ozi Vacation - ezumike/nzumike |
Re: Nairaland Official Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Dictionary by youngies(m): 12:57pm On May 05, 2013 |
odumchi:Table - okpokoro Cashew - asiboko Never heard of these before, which dialect are those? |
Re: Nairaland Official Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Dictionary by odumchi: 1:06pm On May 05, 2013 |
youngies: They're both Aro dialect. 'Asiboko' really means peanut but I guess it can be applied to cashews as well. |
Re: Nairaland Official Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Dictionary by youngies(m): 11:33am On May 07, 2013 |
odumchi:Okpokoro in my dialect is an empty vessel or shell |

ndigbo - wat does [/i]hapuru[i] mean ? |
Re: Nairaland Official Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Dictionary by odumchi: 11:47pm On May 08, 2013 |
youngies: 'okpokoro' (table) and 'ọkpọkọrọ' (empty shell/skull) are two different words. its22078: ndigbo - wat does [/i]hapuru[i] mean ? 'Hapuru' has a definition that fluctuates based on which vowels are stressed and its place in the sentence. Its general meaning has to do with leaving something [alone] or [for] someone. Could you provide an example in a sentence? |

Please, I am trying to learn Igbo language, and I want to know how to say "God is so good to me" in Igbo. |
Re: Nairaland Official Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Dictionary by odumchi: 6:04am On May 13, 2013 |
dtanigwe: Please, I am trying to learn Igbo language, and I want to know how to say "God is so good to me" in Igbo. "Chai, Chi emeka" means "God has done so much [for me]". The 'chai' means 'oh!' and is used for emphasis. |
