Mo fo oo!

Thanks for adding to my wealth of knowledge I haven't come across the word before.... but it's highly difficult to pronounce or make sentences with.

Lol, it's very simple to pronounce unlike that of urs..

English has a word for almost everything, which is good, but our native languages barely do.

I'm Igbo. Words or names of things that are not native to the language are merely descriptive.

E.g
Ship = Ugbo
Car = Ugbo ala
Aeroplane = Ugbo elu.
Strike = Nfanye aka n'ukwu (putting hands between vyhe legs grin )

I think we should try to learn more about words and names of things in our native languages. Maybe, also give names instead of descriptions to things.
