 That is a great story! This happens a lot to me, but in Yoruba instead. Like I'll freeze and forget the right response in Yoruba  |

| Re: None Nigerians Trying To Act Nigerian by isalegan2: 4:21am On Jan 07, 2011 |
I don't speak broken at all. But, since NL, some of it is coming back. TPIA, so I should have responded what? "I dey well well"? Helep me O.  |
| Re: None Nigerians Trying To Act Nigerian by tpia1: 4:22am On Jan 07, 2011 |
oh, ok. |
| Re: None Nigerians Trying To Act Nigerian by tpia1: 4:26am On Jan 07, 2011 |
isale_gan2: your response should have been "I dey" or "I dey kampe" "I dey well well" might work in a bind, perhaps, i'm not sure. hope you're not kidding me? in fact, well would be wellu wellu, imo. |
| Re: None Nigerians Trying To Act Nigerian by isalegan2: 4:29am On Jan 07, 2011 |
I'm serious. But now I'm way self conscious, so let's just forget the whole thing. We'll start over: Hi, TPIA. Nice to meet you. How you dey?! |
| Re: None Nigerians Trying To Act Nigerian by tpia1: 4:30am On Jan 07, 2011 |
lol. nice to meet you too. how bodi. |
| Re: None Nigerians Trying To Act Nigerian by isalegan2: 4:40am On Jan 07, 2011 |
How Bodi? Bodi's smoking hot. But that's not what you meant, is it? I'm no good at this. I'm just playing.Do-over please! "How bodi?" Body dey wellu well. Just fail me now, teacher. I give up. I think I'll go learn Arabic instead. G'night.  |

Aww @Isale_gan. haha, that's so cute!! Naija pidgin is easy to learn, you'll be good in no time. |

chiogo: Understanding it aint that hard if u know the basics, or listen to people converse in it over the years. Mad similar to patois! Speaking Nigerian Pidgin English is hella hard to say the least. Writing it. . . ? Gotdamn!!! Patois is easier IMHO! |
| Re: None Nigerians Trying To Act Nigerian by isalegan2: 6:52pm On Jan 07, 2011 |
I spoke a little bit of it . . . long time ago, and I still understand what people are saying. I just have to learn to speak it all over again and carry on a conversation in it, which, honestly, I don't see it happening, until I move back permanently. In written form, to me, it's hilarious. I don't know why. It's like a stand-up comic's language. |
