Ezigbo ubosi!
I am new to Nairaland! I am very interested in learning the Igbo Language. A friend just recently emailed me this and I am struggling to understand what it means. Can someone native help me translate it to English?
"Nsogbu a diro, nwanna! Kpo m ngbe inwere efe na igwe eji ekwu okwu. Aga m a kuziri gi nke n ma."
Dalu!

"no problem my brother. call me when you get the chance and a phone to talk" (i think that is what that part was). "i will teach you the one i know, thank you!--David" there you go, i AM a nice person  |

"Nsogbu a diro, nwanna! Kpo m ngbe inwere efe na igwe eji ekwu okwu.
@monshege i wasn't sure about that one being in that sentence because by the Igbo that I know, na igwe eji ekwu okwu means (literally) "and a machine that you talk with" so whoever sent him that msg prolly meant to say "Kpo m na igwe eji ekwu okwu mgbe i nwere efe"<----which is "call me on the phone when you are available" as opposed to the original ---> "when you are available, call me on the phone" i guess the word arrangement was what made it confusing (in Igbo) because "NA" could mean "on" (in/etc.) or "and" but I took it as and in this case. |
