xcelsia:Trust me you even did better than many peeps around. Personally, i learnt a thing or two from this thread. You reside in the states right? do you communicate to your folks in Igbo? |
Re: How Do You Call These Colours In Your Local Dialect? by Nobody: 1:19pm On Oct 09, 2014 |
shizzle11:Lol yeah I do but not all the time as I would love to, my siblings are here but my parents are back in Nigeria. My younger brother is already struggling with his igbo so I'm very determined to remember my roots, that's actually one of the reasons I signed up on nairaland Honestly I googled the answers, the only ones I truly know by heart are white and black, ocha na oji |

xcelsia:That is what every smart girl would do, so glad to hear that, i suggest you visit the culture section as much as you can. You will also learn a lot about our foods, attire etc. You come off as an intelligent girl, i like that. Honestly I googled the answers, the only ones I truly know by heart are white and black, ocha na ojilol @black and white, you are not alone, i bet there are plenty others who do not know beyond the 'oji' and 'ocha' colour...lol. Google has always been a good learning companion You can also communicate with your brother in igbo from time to time so you dont forget the little you know/learnt, thats one language secret. 1 Like |

shizzle11:But Igbo langage is more lacking |
Re: How Do You Call These Colours In Your Local Dialect? by shizzle11(m): 2:55pm On Oct 09, 2014 |
dovelike:It is arguable and not true. Its jsut that kids in this generation of Igbos are more inclined to speaking english than their native Igbo. The custodians of the Igbo tradition and customs are aware of this decline and raised an alarm that the Igbo language may go extinct. Thats why they called for the preservation of the igbo language through school teachings, movies, social gatherings etc. this does not mean that it is less complete than others. You are still a young girl, a member of the population of the generation i talked about, but do not buy the dummy that it is more lacking. Are you igbo by the way? |

shizzle11:Aww thanks, yeah we all communicate with him in igbo but only for like the first 5 minutes then give up lol, hopefully he'll marry an igbo girl when the time comes. Ok thanks I'll visit the culture section and try to participate as well, I'm mostly in the health section because it's my passion and my work as well. I'm grateful for nairaland, I don't even have Facebook etc but I'm totally addicted to this forum, I just got a quick break at work and I'm already back here |

The basic colours in yoruba are black, white, yellow and red. Everything else is exotic ie possibly imported. At the very least, secondary. |

shizzle11:Lol hopefully my true love will be igbo, that will be the icing on the cake in addition to him being my best friend We're doing very well with containing the disease, we've had series of meetings and now prepared for an outbreak although I pray it doesn't come to that. I personally think the government made an example of Mr. Duncan by delaying treatment and allowing him to die, it's a clear message to others not to come. Hope your day has been good, have a great weekend ahead, good night. 1 Like |
