Mustack:


How many text did you see written as Yoruba language

There are many my brother. A good number of words without original Yoruba meaning.

For example:
Address = Adiresi
Pan = Paanu
Christ = Kristi
Jesus = Jesu etc

Are you for real?

Don't you see many public notices in Lagos written in Yoruba language? There are many newspapers in Yoruba being sold from Kwara to Lagos States.

And so!!! Becuz its like that in Yoruba doesn't mean it should be used in every shops and sales stands

Just accept that whoever wrote those made a very Big blunder and isnt targeting any hausa abeg

Or can you also write those words in an exam or test like that if you are in school

If you understand market targeting and the real meaning of communication (not just blowing grammar), you will know that there may be nothing wrong with the spelling. Don't be surprise that the writer may be well conversant with the correct spelling in English but understood the need of his/her immediate environment and .chose to write that way. There are many Hausa, Yoruba and even Igbos that can't relate with words written in English.

There are similar adverts written in local languages in your State too but because of the background hatred you have for the North, you are quick to come online telling the whole world the advert wasn't written in Queen's English.


You could as well demanded that our local Languages should not be spoken or written in public so as not to offend you.

It is called selective blindness. Typical of his kind.

If such a kid shows you his result, you'd be amazed he has the guts to drag others over their poor diction and grammar.

.

- I cannot find in the write-up that it is being used in "every shop and sales stands".
- The writer "isnt targeting any Hausa". How are you sure about that? I guess you can read the mind of the writer!

- "Just accept that whoever wrote those made a very Big blunder". No! I do not just accept falacies and conjectures without logic or facts.

- The writer didn't write it in an exam situation. He/she wrote it in front of his shop! Yes, I can write it in an exam situation if the paper is Hausa language or don't you know that people write exams in Hausa language too?

That's how they are all pronounced in hausa.

Rikodin is recording
Sikanin is scanning and so on, they are advertising in hausa language

Dont know what your language is but how do your people pronounce scanning?
oga this is not hausa language this is purely English murder

if their language does not recognize those words locally they should at least do justice to it

no excuse for ignorance

The advert was written in Hausa NOT English and you are still complaining.


There are many spoken and written Igbo words that are similarly derived from English language e.g Tabulu from the English word, Table.


There is nothing concerning Buhari in this matter. He is not the shop owner and the Shop owner hasn't seen Buhari before.

You sound so dumb! The northerners mostly communicate in their local dialect. He's not advertising for you, he's doing it for his people who mostly communicate in Hausa.
I think the southerners are suffering from inferiority complex.

If not for you, I'd be trying to figure out the meaning of those words till God knows when.
Damn, I can't believe this. Why didn't they write in Hausa instead?
You don't mean it, believe me, I was also confused to guess for the right meaning �� until I saw the English version. Thank you guy to bailed us out, if not, all of us should have scored F9 parallel on this exam.

Ajami is written in both Latin and Arabic scripts.


The advert is Hausa written with English alphabet.
There are no local words for Photocopy, scanning, recording and printing.


Many world's in English were also borrowed and corrupted from Greek, Arabic,Latin and French e.g Agriculture, Hospital, Algebra, Admiral, Mutton, Avenue etc


If it is written in Latin texts, then it's not Ajami.

Ajami refers to Arabic texts.

I'm hausa and I do not believe there are words for these things, they are all stolen from english like so many things but made to sound hausa like hospital is asibiti and trader is tireda

Oh interesting. Hausas love to brag that their language has the widest vocabulary out of all groups in Nigeria.

So you don't have hausa for scanning, printing, recording ?
Yeye.
