Translation For Student Project by FalkoFreib(m): 7:33pm On Jul 20, 2011
Hi everyone,

My name is Falko, I'm a university studend from Freiburg, Germany.
Currently I'm working on a sociolinguistic project on diasporic web forums. Nigerian ones are of course very interesting in that respect because of all its different languages. But that again is also my problem: I don't speak Pidgin nor Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo, so I'm a little bit lost here.
Could anyone of you do me a great favour and help me translating some expressions for my term paper.

The expressions are:
Iwe wegbuo gi
nsogbu adiro
Abeg
Anumpam,Aturu
Nsogbadiro!
E JAWO NINU APON TI OYO ELO GBOMI ILA KANA SHINA TI DE
o jebi ti won bi e ni

You would really help me a lot!
Thanks in advance

Could somebody just translate the one expression:

Iwe wegbuo gi

even that would be a great support.

Thanks!

Permit me to laugh but what sort of student project that warrants the use of such language?Sounds more like market women research  cheesy
Im in a good mood so I'd help you a bit:

Iwe wegbuo gi . . .You can go to hell.
Nsogbu a diro . . .There is no problem.
Abeg . . .a slang,Generally means 'please' but depending on the context twas used,the meaning can also be 'I'm bored'(with you,whatever you are saying)
Anumpam . . .Useless soul
Aturu . . .Sheep,Fool(as an insult)

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your help.
The project is more about what is said in which context and in which langugae, than really about what is said. That's why I needed the translation for this this strange kind of words.
Thanks anyway!

I am also a student and I have been looking for an online translation service for my project and I got to know about the https://isaccurate.com/vietnamese-translation-services website where I found Vietnamese translation services and this is really amazing for me now. If you ever need help then you can also try it.
