Learn How To Speak Pidgin Language by Nobody: 10:05pm On Nov 12, 2012
this thread was created for nigerians that can't speak the pidgin language maybe cos' they don't reside in nigeria & for non-nigerians/other countries where pidgin language is not spoken.

Feel free to post any questions or stuffs you want to learn in/about pidgin language and the tutors here will do justice to it

wow, this is hard o
"Na" can mean a lot of things, it depends on the context in which it is being used. Most times, it acts as a possessive word.

"Dey"---> is

Think of the word 'dey' as 'are'
You don't say 'this guy na crazy' simply say 'this guy na craze'
