Anu anu anu anu anu[A homophone are anu z meat and hear in igbo..ahun iso ahun iso .ahun is fat in igbo,while iso is fat in yoruba...bobo yen den ya iso kpa purukutupa!words with the same sound, so stalk (secretly follow somebody) and stalk (the stem of a plant) are homophones in English. In many languages including Igbo you can make a sentence using homophones. In order to participate you have to make a grammatically correct (maybe with some exceptions) sentence in Igbo using one sound and then translate it for the sake of others.. They can be no smaller than four words. I'll start: Ézì èzí èzí ézì Ézí ézí èzí Trans: The foreign/wild pig showed the pig of Ezi town a proper family/household. and Há hà há háà ha ha Trans: They left them and then the others left them. Éké èké éké éké Trans: The python created the division of/on Eke day[/quote] |
