The question says, How many languages Do you speak[b] Fluently[/b]? I see some posters typing things like "Spanish (Not fluently)". Who asked you? Show off?

Everybody just they claim to sabi every language. Let's prove it by typing a full sentence of each language you claim to understand. Here's mine.

Igbo - Afam bu Afam

English - My Name is Afam

Engligbo - Afam is Afam

Yoruba - Oruko mi je Afam(Oruko mi ni Afam

Pidgeon English - My name na Afam)

Trying to know French,Fulani and ibibio.can anyone help?


Want to learn Igbo, will teach you Fulfulde (Fulani), Trade by batter kooo? grin grin grin

Lets start with this in Fulfulde. The language is fulfulde of the Fulani tribe.

Jam wali , (Good morning)
Jam nyalli, (Good evening)
Jam wala, (Good night)
Toi iftuda? (where are you from)
Hofnu sare (Greet home i.e greet family)
Mi yetti (thank you)

Counting figures in Fulfulde is by multiplications and additions, (Fulanis are great mathematicians)
The figures are only 1 to 5, and 10, like this, (1=go'o, 2=Didi, 3=Tati, 4=Nai, 5=Joi, 10=sappo) Others are
6=je'ego (5+1),
7=je'edidi (5+2)
9=je'enai) (5+4)

Here comes the maths, 38=sappan e tati, e je'e tati {reads as (10x3) + (5+3)}
47=sappan e nai, je'e nai {read it as (10x4) + (5+2)
That's how it goes to infinity, see my point about mathemaatisc? grin grin grin

Siutu jam, (take rest i.e bye-bye)

What about in Igbo?

Igbo mathematics:

1+1=2 olu yeya olu bu abuo

7-6=1 Asa wepu iso bu olu

7x2=14 Asa ugbo abuo bu iri na ano

Igbo greetings:

Greetings=kedu, ndewo

Good morning=ututu Oma
