tonididdy:
Is that the only pidgin English in the world?
I don't think it's a fact they all do but you are right when you said because it's cued from English language, they could understand "a bit" not all the time.

That English example you gave, a lot of non English speaking countries speak it that way, like the Arabs, Pakistanis.....that's how they speak and because their english is poor it tunes like pidgin english

If I say " abeg carry your matter dey go" ... even if you are a linguist in English language from havard, you would never understand what I just said. (Using non westafricans/foreigners as a case study)

The verdict is a foreigner would understand a certain pidgin that has atleast 80% full English words and, not all pidgin.

You are correct

This one na corporate Babalawo

And see if him go understand

Does this make any sense to u urself?

🥴😆

I give u my flowers Moh
✌️

There's one Mumu on this thread

He doesn't know nadir

If u want to learn a new language as soon as possible

Start from verbs, action words like go, come, take, bring, do, buy, sell, tell, eat, stop, talk etc

He doesn't even know that the way an adult learns a Language differs to a child


Linguistics na him mate?

He doesn't understand Discourse Analysis

Mumu

Nice one

RIP Moh

makaveli902:
Pidgin is already a mother tongue in the Niger Delta.

Almost

Not yet

A mother tongue means a first language

People in the Niger Delta still have mother tongues

When pidgin becomes their mother tongue, it is a creole

That other guy doesn't know what creole means

Kriss216:
Guy, that statement "I no want problem" is not pidgin.

The correct pidgin is "I no wan wahala".

I believe not all English speakers can decipher that.

Problem and wahala are synonymous

Wahala is Arabic, Problem is English

Surutu still means both

If u tell an English speaker I no want surutu, They might be lost, but if you use problem, they will understand u

I dey with u bro, no mind that mofo

Kriss216:
These words no too heavy, coming from a fan

No it's correction

I remain a fan

🤸

Bro

Stop doing solitude videos

Ur beats are wack too

From ur number one fan

Hello dear linguist.
I've recently been studying the Russian language. I actually love the language. Can you by your expertise tell me the "smartest " way of learning a strange language?
What are those organs that need be studied so I can articulate sentences faster ? I'm looking forward to your response.

Please start from verbs

Action words

Gbajue!!!

What do ye have to say about sit at home

I don't enjoy football but I love d trio

Samantha124:
Who's that fool?

Forget him pls

He thinks Academia is child's play and effrontery

He can't even tell the difference between Creole and pidgin smh

bennybuhari:
Wike and Umahi, are they not godfathers too?

Don't worry

Fayemi is ok

Fayemi is now a godfather

Samantha124:
No, we don't... If we're not speaking English, then we're speaking our home languages or other SA indigenous languages.

But there is a language called Spitori, it's a combination of Sepedi, Setswana, a bit of Zulu and Afrikaans, it's mainly spoken by the people of Pretoria... And another one is called Tsotsitaal, this one is mainly spoken by thugs and it's a combination of Zulu and Afrikaans.

Pidgin started as a language of commerce

Mostly in colonies

Your country wasn't a colony, I understand you

I am a Linguist

There's a fool here who can't answer simple questions but goes on talking balderdash...

BoldBrainz:
I've been on just one point through the entirety of our engagement, and that's the "fact" that Pidgin is an English-based creole.

There's a humongous distinction between being a Linguist and a polyglot. I should know because I am both. I speak Spanish, a bit of French, a bit of Hausa, my ethnic dialect which is "Lokaa" and the lingua we're conversing with. That makes me a polyglot. I equally have two degrees, a Bsc in Information Science and a Diploma in Linguistics from Taniform Institute in Bamenda. Currently undergoing studies for a third degree.

So, I speak from a place of confident intellectual authority as regards this subject. Again, how many languages do you speak?

U speak Kwale and deafinese and u have a diploma in whatever

But u cant define Creole?
We ain't on the same page


Get off my mention

Samantha124:
So haven't you guys ever thought of abandoning it since you're now education and fluent in English?

Because I can understand that those first Africans weren't educated and couldn't speak English fluently, hence they mixed it with your native languages.

Language is fluid

It is used for communication

Pidgin is still very useful

Don't you have pidgins in your country?

BoldBrainz:
Why are you shouting..😂?

I deliberately deviated from the subject matter by asking you a very simple question. Please how many languages do you speak?

I am a Linguist

Do you know what a polyglot means?

People who haven't been to school speaks more than two languages

What's ur point?

Talking about deviation, have you ever been on any point?

Pls don't mention

BoldBrainz:
Lol.

You're curiously amusing. Please, how many Languages do you even speak?

U see what I mean now?

U don't know anything Linguistics?

Do you know what a Linguist means?

You assume I am a polyglot

Please let this be the last time you mention me Olodo

BoldBrainz:
You have the tendency to be condescending with words.

You do not retain monopoly of linguistic knowledge, as you're so inclined to believe. If my insistence on the subject matter offends you, that cannot be helped. Either you do more research for your own intellectual benefit or you can stick to what you believe to be true.

Bro

This is intellectual stuff, don't appeal to emotions

You dont know anything about Languages

Don't kill him o
