Nsogbu adighi, and Kamanu/Kamalu isn't widely used. That would explain why it sounded a bit strange or foreign to your ears, Ify. I think it is largely used in southern and eastern areas. Don't know about central, northern, or western areas. |

Re: Nairaland Official Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Dictionary by DapoBear(m): 4:12pm On Nov 20, 2010 |
I'm trying to read the Bible in Yoruba, understand some of the expressions. Matthew 1:6 in Yoruba goes says:
And here is the English of the same verse: So what does "aya" mean in this case? I guess "aya Uria" in this case means "woman was once Uriah's wife", but I'm just trying to get a better sense of what this word means, how it might be used in other situations, etc. |
Re: Nairaland Official Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Dictionary by Nobody: 4:13pm On Nov 20, 2010 |
DapoBear: aya = wife. |
