The pronunciation of ate as ETE isn't wrong. It's the british pronunciation while pronunciating it as HATE is the American pronunciation.

The question ought to have been asked before you started HND but better still, I would advice you round up your HND, serve then go for your PGD (i think its necessary to serve or have a discharge letter before PGD), You are still young, but don't be carried away by that use it well, or better still go for DE immediately after HND which will take you 3 more years then you serve. All the best

GloriaNinja:
That's why Nigeria is still backward, they carry grammar on their head like idiots,, English is not even Nigeria's mother language, that's why China will always be better than Nigeria, they love their mother tongue, it will be very difficult to see a Chinese forming English unless he/she needs it in a social situation, who grammar epp?

China has one unifying language called Mandarin or Putonghua which is broadly spoken by everybody there. Nigeria doesn't have any indigenous language that serves that purpose except English which was handed down to us by our colonial masters. English language is our unifying language as it serves as the bridge of communication between people of different ethnic backgrounds in Nigeria. There is not equivalence between China and Nigeria! Thank you.

Be close to ur dictionary

LionDeLeo:


OP, good job. Comments by some hungry posters shouldn't bother you.

Hungry and most likely jobless. Very unfortunate mix.

What they're unaware of is the emphasis prospective employers place on ones ability to communicate in flawless English. In fact (and I'm very sincere here), during the last recruitment at my organization, a lot of applications were sent to the shredder not because the applicant did not meet the requirements, but simply due to poor grammar.

Yet they're yapping "who English don epp" like empty dolts.

Be objective once in ur life. Comment on the information from the op. What is all this nonsense about ethnicity , tribalism and political sentiments in everything? You voted him in knowing his old and he is your president. I didn't vote. If you're not Yoruba, you're Igbo. Nonsense.

After your HND, look for a school in USA and apply for F1 visa. Your life will never remain the same for good.

Think Global ! Not Local !

This seems forced. Op sef miss 1 or 2 based on general logistics.

How do you mean "embarrass" for a language that is not ours? Why not get embarrassed for wrong usage of Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Tiv, Idoma, et al. We are so funny in this country the way we regard a foreign language tagged official national language. Good usage is even unconsciously being mistaken for brilliance and intelligence. I get surprised because I stayed and studied with people of other nationalities who's languages are not English and the way they axed the language you shit did not happen and they all passed very well in English related subjects .
Let me come down to the OP Mr grammar. Yes, in your corrections Mr.grammar what do you mean by "legal use" of the word? You see, that's a very wrong and funny way of putting that as it means something different entirely. Do you know that English as a language evolves also, that all those your big words sound funny and archaic to native speakers? Wonder why foreign speakers like over sabi Nigerians are the people that often use those gbim gbim and Zim words.
Again Mr. English judge, do you “hear“ a sound or "perceive" a sound. You see even our holier than thou attitude prevent use from kerning. If you want to learn big vocabulary, read African authors. But remember to keep dictionary by your side. If you are reading foreign authors, just forget the dictionary and you finish in just few moments. This is equally the reasons we r saying good bye to our local languages. Our kids are now native English speaker and we bask in the fake euphoria. Abeg make I hear word. In Jamaica, their coined English for local usage is called patwa, same with Kreole in Haiti and so on, in Nigeria, their is pidgin also called broken and their good English. Abeg make I hear word.

Grammatically speaking, you don't say -I can't hear you. That's grammatically incorrect. It's better to say -I don't hear you. Meaning if you say- I can't hear you, you are saying you don't have hearing ability such as the ear. While I don't hear you means you have the ear but unable to hear the person at that time. Thanks.

Awesome! I was looking to see if someone set this straight before I do then I saw your comment. Welldone.

His dictionary is out of date.

well done. Pls Ignore all these obviously frustrated posters saying who English help.

Now, everybody wants to get rich quick like efe. fools. It's very irritating what this country is turning into.

what they don't know is, most times, to earn you have to learn.

That said, I found all your points accurate but this one:

ATE: As we all know, ate is the past tense of eat. The problem with this word for most people is not so much in the use as in the pronunciation.
Very many people pronounce the word as “ETE’’ as in TETE, whatever that means.
The correct pronunciation of this word is ATE as in HATE without the “H’’
It might be embarrassing to mispronounce this simple word in public

From the little knowledge I have, ATE is pronounced ET( going by the British pronunciation). so, that's correct, don't you think?
The American pronunciation is HATE (minus the H as you said). Therefore, depending on the context, the two pronunciations are correct, don't you think?
