Never said u r the one. U can start a movement to change it Instead of being proud of it

Ehehehe. Bros, that's the least of my problems now o!

But just to be clear, who (where?) was the name stolen from?

TimeMod3:
Maybe they had to dig it up by popular demand. Lol.
funny Mods!

I wonder where PHgirl is right now. Maybe she's dead (God forbid)

How could people be so proud of ignorance and still throw insults? At least we are in a world where information is more accessible.
The 'consonants' N & M have two functions in Igbo Language. They function as mgbochi ume (consonants) as well as myiri uda ume (vowel forms). And when they are myiri uda ume, the next alphabet is a consonant.
Each of the two have the consonants (mgbochi ume) that goes with it.
'N' as myiri uda ume never goes with M as a vowel.
I know this might be heartbreaking and difficult for people who have been writing their names wrongly from when they were born, but no need arguing or calling names.
Simply do a research. Afterall we are in information age.
In this contest, there is no such as Chidinma in Igbo. It was rather a bastardised from such words as Funmi which are not Igbo. Chidimma is the only correct.
Engage me in a civil way if you think otherwise. I promise to put you through if I have the time.

mKc9ET:


No..

U mean ''nma'' is good to me, while ''mma'' means good?

Apparently there is no Igbo word "NMA''

What do you call knife in Igbo

PHgirl:
Igbo people in the house, I hail, oh! Something's been bothering me. @topic, do you guys bear Chidinma or Chidimma? Are they the same thing? Because I've seen the two. Thanks in anticipation.

Both name means the same thing, which is God is good. The spelling is just the mother touger

Do not be deceived, Chidimma is the correct one. The fact that the name has been wrongly spelt (Chidinma)for a long time does not make it correct.

Eke40seven:


From my understanding, 'Chidinma' means "God is good"

while 'Chidimma' means "God is good TO ME"

some even bear 'ChiMdinma' meaning, "MY God is good"
or 'ChiMdimma' meaning MY God is good TO ME"

There is no wrong or right spelling, its only wrong when you use a variation for an individual with another variation of the name. I know most bearers are always fast to correct the caller on which particular one they bear despite that fact that the differences are slight.

oburo eziokwu.

macmiral:


And which makes everyone of us suckers, including you, bitch don't interrupt next time

I consider this thread educative. You should have skipped it, if it sucks. Kill your tribalistic mind. It won't help you.

Like Lomprico2 once said,

"Nairaland is a forum for news, articles, eye witness events, fiction stories, medical advice, education, etc.

This is education. Get a life bigot!"

The correct spelling is ''CHIDIMMA'' - God is good.

Been wondering where the 'chidinma' spelling came from. ''Nma'' has no meaning in Igbo language.

Proudlyngwa:
What do you call knife in Igbo

mma

Bomgirl:



Just because today na sunday, let's be good people.
Besides, my Brighton guys drew their match today after all my fear so I'm happy.
Take a chilled bottle of something instead. It's more profitable.

If my guess was spot on about your person, then the turning point must have been massive.

But You're kinda weird by contemporary standard, who's a fan of B& H in this part of the world, unless you are a native. Lol

mKc9ET:


No i oppose that...(mother is "nne" not ''mma) ''mma'' can be head when saying mama fast, like mma instead mama

''mma" can be knife, beauty, depending on how u stressed (no "nm" in Igbo word) the word but here we are talking about beauty

"chi' means God, ''di'' means is, while "mma" means beauty or good

So my dear is CHIDIMMA not CHIDINMA

Hope u are not from a home were parent don't speak their mother tongue their children, if an Igbo man

Mother can be either Nne or nma.
In my place we call grandma nma Ku ukwu.

The Igbo language is a combination of several dialects.

chineduemmao:
mma

Otua ka o di.

All this is so because you and your academic cohorts say it is so, abi? When did I agree to any of this. If most Igbos prefer Chidinma then Chidinma is correct. That's how language works. Afterall King James English was the "correct" English of it's day

chineduemmao:
mma

We will call it nma

osteenbush:

Exactly the opposite. That's exactly what makes Chidinma the correct version. That's how language works.

Bomgirl:



Okay, this is the point I say 'good night' and take my leave. Ka chi fo.

thats exactly what u should do baibe. See u next time. Ka chi fo.

Proudlyngwa:
We will call it nma

it's not igbo.

It is chidimma not chidinma.
In Igbo, N and M are not found in a word.
Mma is a word.
But can only be seen in a 'phrasal-word' like oMe-Na-ala.
N and M behave like vowel but they are not vowel in Igbo language (ie myiri-udaume).

Ibu nwafor Igbo

Go & ask nnamdi kanu

WetinConsignMe:


It doesn't happen often - it is not ordinary. That's the definition of extraordinary, mu... Ok I won't call u mumu this time.

Shut the fucck up, olodo.

chineduemmao:
it's not igbo.

And who r u to decide what is Igbo, a living, constantly evolving language

Obinoscopy:
Had this argument in the office. I do know most people say chidinma. But most people could be wrong . Still not sure if Chidimma is correct and Chidinma wrong.

The correct one is Chidinma.

Chi-di-nma..... Chi= God, di=is, nma=good.

mma' in the other hand is short form of Mama.

WetinConsignMe:


Exactly the opposite. That's exactly what makes Chidinma the correct version. That's how language works.

See this otondo.
Are you tired of weeping to now start providing false and incorrect premises.
Wetin you sabi for Igbo language?

This idiot of a dude wanna stay relevant, please fvck off to hell and don't ever quote me, I stay mah lane, u stay urz... Pig

TimeMod3:
Hey bomgirl, would you consent that I turn this niggur my bitch tonight?

and whatchu gon' do asshole?
Biiitch ass nigguh that cant afford 3 square meal.
Oh u wanna get under the biiitch panties huh?
Dude u fired...totally!!

Bomgirl:



Ehehehe. Bros, that's the least of my problems now o!

But just to be clear, who (where?) was the name stolen from?

You may deceive yourselves that no one notices but everyone knows God's Own Country including u. It's actually annoying.

It is chidimma not chidinma.

But can only be seen in a 'phrasal-word' like oMe-Na-ala.

You are wrong, mma is short form of Mama while nma is good or beauty.

macmiral:

Thanks. God bless.

NeduLuiZ:
Chidinma is the correct spelling

Beauty or good is spelt as "nma"
While an old woman or mother is spelt as "mma"

Chidinma means God is good.

You sure say u be Ibo?

Abi u be confusion-ist?

cstr1000:

Shut the fucck up, olodo.

Even after I resisted calling u mumu, which is only descriptive. So ungrateful.

darkmarky:
Are Igbos confused or what?

How can a tribe not come to conclusion the correct spelling of the name chidimma/chidinma..


Rubbish..

taofeek/taofik, when are ur people going to get a conclusion to the correct spelling?
