I have recently become fascinated with the Nigerian culture and all forms of dialects of West Africa. My friend recently told me this phrase..."Lliam gbam a we je gande." What exactly does this mean? Any knowledge would be great!! Look forward to learning more on this subject!!  |

Sorry it took this long for a response. "Liam gbam a we je gande" Simply means" I want to have a talk with you. But in the use of language, there is more meaning conveyed. The apeaker simultaneously suggests that he/ she had wanted this talk for some time now. Conveyed also is the impression that the sought after party has not been accessible for any number of reasons. Eqally conveyed is the impression that the talk is important. Liam gbam a we je gande, is used when one wishes to underline importance. I hope you are still there and you find this useful. cheers. |
