Some Expressions In Igbo by Samambaia(f): 6:47pm On Aug 10, 2006
hi there,
I am new here, and I would like to know some expressions in igbo. I'm not from Nigeria so I don't know anybody who can help me, but think I will need them really soon.
How to say in Igbo:
1. get lost
2. Bleep off
3. disappear from my life

if anything else useful comes to your minds pleaser write grin
thanks in advance,
greetings
samambaia

Re: Some Expressions In Igbo by Samambaia(f): 7:45pm On Aug 10, 2006
thanks girls,
at the second point I meand Bleep off. dont know why I wrote what I wrote, nevermind
yes this is the problem, the guy seems not to understand some subtle signals, nor english nor even my own language (he learned before we met) so I hope if I use his language it will be understandable enough.
I want to know the bad one cous he deservs. He didn't treat me seriously, I want to finish this "relationship" but he seems not to understand some simple things.
thanks for help,
I am waiting for more.
hugs

Samambaia, learning this man's native tongue will convey that you are interested in him. You obviously made an effort. . .

Re: Some Expressions In Igbo by Samambaia(f): 10:57pm On Aug 18, 2006
chinani- u r right but believe me I am trying to do my best not to be interested in him anymore wink although it is not so easy, and I hope I will not have to use those expressions, besides my friend who is going out with some igbo man likes this topic very much , nevermind
ZuluNation I am a little freak about foreign languages, I know English, Italian, have some basics of Spanish and German, so why not Igbo? just a little bit more exotic wink grin grin
