You will definitely be welcomed as a Pullo dimo

Wala mi andi! A haali gonga derdam,

question brothers, does the new Emir of Kano speak Fulfulde? I heard it identify as Fulani.

Omarbah: question brothers, does the new Emir of Kano speak Fulfulde? I heard it identify as Fulani.

You mean Lamido Sanusi? I don't know and to be honest with you I don't think so. I have never heard him speak Fulfulde. I know that he can speak Hausa for sure, he speaks perfectly accented English with a hint of a British accent. He's very educated. I don't think he can speak Fulfulde though even though he may be ethnically Fulani. Maybe Bororojo knows better than me on this matter.

yep Lamido Sanusi, I was really proud when he made TIME 100.

Omarbah:

Yeah, he's very bright and educated. He is the kind of leader in my opinion that Nigeria needs. He is always talking about progression and I would like to see how he would do if he was a president. He is a very "we can do it" kind of mindset. He's soft-spoken and kind. A complete intellectual. Whether Nigeria will elect a leader like him, that I can't tell you with absolute confidence.

He had a Tedx talk about vested interests in Nigeria and the need to confront them if any chance to status quo is to occur. I thought he was brave to say such things in public. I guess due to his royal background he is not afraid of power.
I doubt he will become president though, he is Emir, I think he prefer to remain in the North, unfortunately.

You are absolutely right brother. In any case I need to go and find my bed, good night brother.

has anyone of you ever listened to Quran translated in Fulfulde? I remember three years reading about, they had a ceremony in Yola, Adamawa

Omarbah: has anyone of you ever listened to Quran translated in Fulfulde? I remember three years reading about, they had a ceremony in Yola, Adamawa

I have heard of it but never actually tried to indulge in it. I will look into though soon. One of my other Nigerian non-Fulani friends tried to give me a bible in Fulfulde and I politely rejected it and told him sincerely, it's ok don't worry about it. I didn't want to cause any trouble and offend him. He has been trying to convert me because he believes I'm open-minded. But it will never happen ROFL.

A Pullo ought to be a Muslim, sorry but I am not open minded when it comes to that.

There is actually nothing wrong in reading the bible........ Islam even encourages the quest for knowledge...
Infact, some of the best translation works from English or French into Fulfulde has been in the form of Complete Fufulde bibles. I find this amazing, considering the fact that the bible is even bigger than the Qur'aan.

For a starter who would like to learn Fulfulde, that could be a good place to start... comparing the English/French texts in the bible to the corresponding verses in Fulfulde. from there one could easily pick up so many words, and master the very complex rules of Fulfulde such as the complex pronoun system, Consonant mutations in their plural forms, etc......

if i start listing the number of pronouns that exist in Fulfulde here, some people might be shocked...... starting from simple ones like O and On to ones like Muudum'en.....

let's do it

I don't mind reading the bible either but I do mind the conversion .

Omarbah: I don't mind reading the bible either but I do mind the conversion .

Okay, who starts?

Pronouns Subjects
Mi I
A you, singular or for a friend
O He or she
En this is more like the On of the french.
Men We
On You, plural and for parents and elderly people
Be They. Also used when referring to parents, elderly people or respectable people.

Excuse me OmarBah, but men is more like "our"

Mayo men - Our river

Omarbah: A Pullo ought to be a Muslim, sorry but I am not open minded when it comes to that.

yah I agree

Fulaman198: Excuse me OmarBah, but men is more like "our"

Mayo men - Our river

Let say you are on the phone with someone who is giving you directions to her house. Once you get there you say :
Men hewti or Men ari

Now when you want to leave and you ask your friends if they would like to leave you say :
En yahay ?

"Men" could also be used in the context you mentioned.
For example you are talking to a fellow Pullo about the Senegal river and saying it is ours. You could say
Senegal ko mayo men.

If you are talking to another person other than a Pullo, you say Senegal ko mayo amen. The "amen" excludes the person you are talking to.
