and more words you can help me with

There is need for us to take it gradually so that you won't be given too much at a time that may end up confusing you.
You also have to realise that Igbo language is a phonetic based lingo. One word can mean so many things depending on how it is pronounced.

Take for instance, the word "akwa"
akwa = egg
akwa = cry
akwa = bridge
akwa = bed
akwa = clothe

So you will improve quickly on the language skill if hear some of these words pronounced. Your husband call help in this regards

Hope this helps

@diamond. Learning Igbo here is not the best cos you will miss out the pronounciation and sounds which is the basic thing. I suggest you meet one an Igbo for a face to face teaching.

@youngies. i jikwa oru eba. Please try teaching only the words that are used frequently. You know that present day igbos do speak "engiligbo" and nobody will call window "mpio", but instead they will call it "window". Nobody speaks pure igbo these days. So teach diamond only the igbo words that are mostly used.

thank you so much youngies,Chukwu go zie gi.let me learn what you have sent me so far ,send you more when i am thru in the mean time may be u could send me some daily question and answer we ask in daily life.sitagirl

@eina
Your observation is noted, but let me assure you that there ara very versatile Igbo speakers on this forum that can hold their own down without the frequent infusion of engligbo. Try Echelon, Ifyalways, yours sincerely and et al

It is not so easy to pick out some of these prepositions and verbs and simply translate them into Igbo language without putting them in context. The best translation comes when you use them in a phrase or sentence.

i am not sure = Amachaghi m
how many = ole
i might come = e nwere m ike i bia
can i come = o mu bia?
must i come = nga abiariri?
i dont know when i will come = Amghai m oge/mgbe m ga abia
when do you want me to come = ole oge/mgbe i choro ka m bia?
did you eat = i riri nri?
what did you eat = ole ihe i riri?
do you want some = i ka choro ?
can i have some = i ga enye tu m

thanks youngies,

Anything for you sistagirl
