Can someone be kind enough to tell me what Arhurugi Nayi Nkem Uwuu means in Igbo. I was told it meant I love you but everyone else says I love you is something totally different than what I have here. If someone could pleas advise me I would appreciate it.

whats the meaning of 'mu mi'
i need a yoruba tutor, i want to learn yoruba,

chichiwill:

whats the meaning of 'mu mi'
i need a yoruba tutor, i want to learn yoruba,

As Yoruba intonation goes with the meaning
'Mu mi' can be 'Catch me'
'Mu mi' can also mean 'Drink water (i.e. 'Mu omi' in full writen)

If its with apostrophe, that means 'Mu'mi' (Drink water)
without apostrophe, it means 'Mu mi' (Catch me)
