Please Help Translate Igbo To English. by wug984(m): 11:30pm On Jun 01, 2007
Ezigbo ubosi!

I am new to Nairaland! I am very interested in learning the Igbo Language. A friend just recently emailed me this and I am struggling to understand what it means. Can someone native help me translate it to English?

"Nsogbu a diro, nwanna! Kpo m ngbe inwere efe na igwe eji ekwu okwu. Aga m a kuziri gi nke n ma."

Dalu!

GC you got it, except for the part of "and a phone to talk". it ought to be "call me when you are available to talk on the phone"

@monshege
i wasn't sure about dat one being in dat sentence because by the Igbo dat[b] I[/b] know, na igwe eji ekwu okwu means (literally) "and a machine dat you talk with"
so whoever sent him dat msg prolly meant to say "Kpo m na igwe eji ekwu okwu mgbe i nwere efe"<----which is "call me on the phone when you are available" as opposed to the original ---> "when you are available, call me on the phone"  i guess the word arrangement was what made it confusing (in Igbo) because "NA" could mean "on" (in/etc.) or "and" but I took it as and in dis case.

Hi Everybody!

I know this is not the right topic bet can anybody help me to translate a nigerian word: KPOGIRI ?

We have a bet with my nigerian bf that I can t find a person all over the world who could translate this igbo word. Bet I think there sould be somebody who can translate it.
And I wanna win Smiley and want to prove that there is somebody on the word who know what does it mean.
