And are the Ewe some big group like the Akan that regroup different ethnicities?

Just finished to listen to it. The song is nice, the girl part sounds a bit like Mandinka and the guy is cute kiss

Gnanmien=god
Akwaba=welcome
M'co la = Me co da= I am going to sleep
Sika=money
Co fa ma me=bring me smthg
...
just the way we say thing is diffent , also we use some expressions that are old that twi do not use anymore like:

Momo = thank u for example but u use "yebluade" grin i dunno how to spell it

abt the song, its prolly because its a song thts why I'm kinda finding it difficult to make out the words, lmao! "M'CO LA" sounds juz like how we say it "M'KORDA" (am going to sleep)....SIKA is the same, KOR'FA MA'ME (GO PICK IT FOR ME) is also the same grin....AKWAABA same....Gnanmien is pronounced ONYAME in Ghanaian twi....wow! I feel like I cud live in C.I.V wit ease.....I can really relate.....amazing how the words are the same
