Hausa 1. Paw Paw - Gwanda 2. Soursop - Tuwon Biri (Hehe! Literally, Monkey's Tuwo) 3. Sugar - Sikari 4. Honey - Zuma 5. Dirt - Depends on the context. Daud'a - generic for dirt (not to be confused with the name); Datti derived from the english word; Kazamta - more on the disgusting side, Shara - dirt from sweeping the floor. |

Aloy.Emeka
|
English: Padlock
Yoruba: Agadagodo There are so many similarities between igbo and Yoruba words. hausa is the one that is completely different. It's like similarities between French and English but the connecting nation, Russia, has a totally different lingua. Padlock= igodo(igbo)= Agadagodo(yoroba) Chicken= Okuko(igbo)= akuko(yoroba) Stone= okwute(igbo)= okuta(Yoroba). and many more. |

Thank you Abuzola. You spoke my mind. I initially wanted to contribute to this interesting and educative thread, but was immediately pissed off by Phemour's words. I'm disappointed in you. And you're even one of the moderators. Mshwww.  P.S: All the Hausa translations are ridiculous, with the exception of Sarauniya's. For those interested, Sarauniya= Princess in Hausa. |
