Abuzola: Hmmm, the way I translate this proverb is with "ya" being a command as in If the ear has heard, the body should be careful. |
Re: Hausa Proverb/\karin Magana by Sarauniya(f): 5:17pm On Jun 16, 2009 |
Ko min nisan Jifa kasa zai dawo - No matter how far a stone is thrown it's still going to come back to the ground. Idan ka ga gemun abonkinka ya kama wuta ka zuba wa naka ruwa - If you see your friend's beard on fire pour water on yours. Abun da babba ya hango, yaro ko ya hau Dala da Gauron dutse ba zai hango ba - What a grown up has seen, even if a kid climbs the rocks of Dala and Goron Dutse (highest peaks in Kano) he/she won't see it. Bakin ciki ba bakon uwar barawo bane Agony is not a new concept to the mother of a thief. I guess there are 2 types of proverbs in the Hausa language. The more structured one (as I have posted above) and the 2 part ones the ones that have two phrases. One suggesting the situation and the other predicting the outcome. Usually occurs in a dialogue where one person says the first part and the other person completes the sentence e.g. Aikin Banza - Harara a duhu What a waste of time - Eyeing a person in the dark Aikin Banza - Kiba a kunne What a waste - Growing fat on the ears Na shiga ban dauka ba - ba ya fidda barawo I wen't in but I didn't steal anything! - Doesn't acquit a renowned thief , Rashin Hakuri - Kamar Zawo , So impatient - Like waterry diarrhoea Abu mai sauki - fidda wando ta kai It's Easy - Like removing trousers through your head More to come. Welldone to the people posting, na karu sosai a nan faggen. 1 Like 1 Share |
