With The Addition Of The Igbo Language On Facebook by zikIPE: 6:33pm On Feb 10, 2016
Hello people,
As I was enjoying my facebook today, I got a notification asking me to help translate the English language to Igbo. now, that brings about a whole new set of problems which include the absence of an Igbo equivalent for like. The Igbo people 'LOVE', we do not 'LIKE'. another problem being the absence of a single word representing 'comment'. sure, there's an Igbo phrase for comment, but to the best of my knowledge, there's no single word for it.
so, basically, the Igbo Language on my facebook is written in English....at least, for now. if you're Igbo and have any suggestions on Igbo words to use as replacement for English words on facebook, feel free to contribute
