Help My Ibo Brothers And Sisters !

hi all this is urgent ,please can someone tell me how to say '' u mean the world to me '' in ibo language ,i am a yoruba babe dating an ibo guy

EEya, what a touching gesture. Hope your boyfriend appreciates the length you went just to put a smile on his face. That's what i all love, keep it up dear. And do not hesitate to return with another question if you got one, we'll always be at your beck and call

As regards your question, "you mean the world to me", cannot be directly translated to Igbo, but to get real close, you could say "I bu uwam" which literally means "you're my world"

*remember the "I" in the sentence should be pronounced as an "E" in english and not the english "I" when you're referring to yourself.

I wish you both luck!!



Hey sis, no need to go all offensive on the girl, its a free world and I guess that means she has the right to express herself in whatever language she damn pleases.

Afterall people learn spanish for fun, their english speaking ability still intact I personally find her request a cute one!!

Wow i wish i had a girl like u amat. I think 'ibu uwam' would do like earlier advised.

It seemed you didnt approve of her wanting to know how its being said in igbo . . but i guess i coulda misunderstood you, sorry if thats the case, wasn't my intention

@ amat

you can tell him "bia ebe a ekwensu a"    it means . . . ."my life i owe to you"    best wishes

  Very not-so-funny suggestion . . she's not Igbo remember, such jokes are too expensive.

Dear @ poster, what he suggested means "come here, you satan"


You're absolutely right

@poster,
ibo is not uniform. what i gave you is from my dialect these other ibos are not from my village. in my village, bia ebe a ekwensu a  means i owe my life to you. . . .hoha

I know that too. Suprised no igbo person has written about @Darfur's post 

@amat
this is sexism . is it b/c i'm male that you refused to acknowledge my contribution to ur ibo studies? i gave you what i know from my own dialect and u just went ahead to diss me and my dialect. this is why we ibos are never united. my fellow ibos have dissed my dialect and have told amat that i am being mischeivious whereas i was just trying to help by introducing another version of ibo

those guys are not from my village. go to my village and you'll see our own dialect

I did dear, just scroll up a l'il bit and pay more attention this time


You're very welcome dear! Just ask, and we'll be running at your service. Hope things work out for both of you just fine, take care

You may not get the exact meaning of that in Igbo language but will get alot very close to that in English.
U mean the whole world to me - I bu uwa m
                                                 - So gi ka m nwere n'uwa
                                                  - Na gi ka uwa m jedebere
                                                 
                                                    wdz ( we diri gabazie) - an so on
