How Do You Say "In Fact" In Your Language? by humnsikan: 2:00pm On Aug 16, 2014
How would you say the word "in fact" in the this quote -- "...In fact, I won't give it to you." -- in your own language? Forget about the other words; just translate the "in fact".

In Fombina Mbororo Fulfulde dialect it is 'Tawa'. I don't know how other Fulani countries in west Africa call it but that's in our Fombina Fulfulde Mbororo dialect right Bororojo, Aumeehn, Cronsberg, Sdqxxx and other Fulani natives here.

But, how come it takes a sentence to represent the simple word "infact" in our various languages.

In obvious truth implies ''oto to foju han kedere'' or ''ooto to han kedere'' !

It can be synonymously used with ''infact'' !

There is difference between ''O daju kedere'' and ''o da mi loju''

''Infact , Nairaland belong to seun Osewa''

Oo daaju , Seun Osewa loluwa Nairaland ....

''I have ten M in my account , infact it is in dollars ''

Mo ni Milionu mewa la'po iwe owo mi ''ko da'' dolasi ni pelu''

U can see the contextual differences , your interpretation will depend on what role the ''infact'' perfom in d sentence !

Yoruba is a very rich and interesting Language. Little wonder lots of white people come down here to study it

White people are studying all sorts of African languages, read up on it. It's not just Yoruba. Sometimes it's because they want to religiously convert people or sometimes they do it out of spying on Nigerians, there could be many reasons.

There is no envy I don't even know how you came to that ridiculous conclusion. If you don't believe what I am saying, simply Google it.
