I can see you are trying to tell off your ibo boyfriend and think if you say it in ibo it will make more sense. Here you go

English -- Get off my life
Igbo ---- achurum gi na ndum

English ---- I hate you
Igbo --------ife ina eme na masi mu
or ------- ahurum gi na anya

I dont get it Samambaia. You say he didn't treat you seriously and now he wants to make it right you are busy finding ways of putting him off. I think you should give him another chance. Finding ways of telling him things in Igbo just makes you think about him the more , are you sure you want him out of your life?

Give a brother another chance!

Haile if you want him to scoop the sand underneath your feet and pour em down his throat (Meaning, bow down before thee in respect and adoration) type the following:

(Insert name of guy),

So gi bu anwu na eti na ndu mu
Ahurum gi n'anya karia kpakpando di n'igwe
I bu agachaa Ogwu, onweghi onye Ihe di ka gi
Ukpaka n'agba na udu mmiri
Otu Onye a na asi Unu abiala
Agwo turu mbe
A ga m ahugi n'anya rue mgbe ebighi ebi.

So, can anyone translate what this means:

I bu agachaa Ogwu, onweghi onye Ihe di ka gi
Ukpaka n'agba na udu mmiri

I want to send something really nice to my fiance grin

Thanks so much!!

Re: Some Expressions In Igbo by Obiagu1(m): 11:39pm On Dec 01, 2010

So gi bu anwu na eti na ndu mu (You are the only sunshine in my life)
Ahurum gi n'anya karia kpakpando di n'igwe (I love you more than the stars in the sky)
I bu agachaa Ogwu, (*) onweghi onye Ihe di ka gi (There's no one like you)
Ukpaka n'agba na udu mmiri (*) Otu Onye a na asi Unu abiala (*)
Agwo turu mbe (*)
A ga m ahugi n'anya rue mgbe ebighi ebi. (I will love till the end of time)

* = (Positive praise; cannot be translated literally and I don’t know its English equivalence)
