davidylan:Yea you can marry one if you wish like; I think Igbo girls are really nice. davidylan:No; Nne is mother not grandmother. This is how it is. Nne is mother nna is father; so when you bring the two together, we have nnenna which means mother's father. And your mother's father is known as your grandfather. It's just like Nnanna; Nna is father and nna is also father; so it mean's father's father (that's your grandfather) Do you now get it? davidylan:I would post more I'm still trying to compile a few. asha 80:Great job Asha80 |
