tomiobj: What other areas exactly? |
Re: Phrases In Pidgin and Meaning! by Leitner: 8:22pm On Apr 23, 2015 |
tomiobj:The sentence is mostly used when before maybe an event, 2 individual(groups) have contrasting opinion about what the outcome of the event will be. And when during or after the event,one of the individual's opinion starts to materialize(I.e,what he said is happening) ,he says the sentence(to taunt the other individual) - "How market" ,which closely means, "I taught you said THE OPPOSITE of what's currently happening is what was going to happen". E.G- A chelsea fan and Arsenal fan both argued b4 the match that both their teams are going to win the match. And during the course of the match,Chelsea happen to take the lead (I'm a chelsea fan ),or they eventually won. Due to the fact that they've both boasted to each other,the chelsea. Fan can taunt him by saying with a grin on his face- "guy,how market nau?" Another close example is the just concluded election. You know it was a close contest between APC AND PDP,with supporters of both believing they will win. During the collation of results, when it starts becoming clear APC will win or after APC were finally declared winner; on their(pdp supporters) belief that they'd win,APC supporters can begin to taunt them by saying "how market ?". Hope ya dig now? I'm currently jobless and idle,that's why I wrote all that . 1 Like |
