Hello lady rozzay . How are you today? And how's your holiday?

alomosweets:
And you're being all formal because?
Hehehe...I missed you.

You think you've got time to tell me about what else i missed?

Erm......because you are now a customer na .

And as to what you've missed? A lot - the most notable being an e-war between 2 members that resulted in the banning of both.

*whispers to her*.....the war didn't start on here o but the actual perpetrator/culprit was judged and sentenced here . It was comedic in a way too.

hensben:

And its a holiday today . So I'm just chilling .

Beey:

Paretomaster:
MUN = WE

Noted sir!

Paretomaster:
NA KARA GODEWA/ GODIYA NIKE.

DREAM =MAFARKI

Toh!!! Zan Kara godewa ama saura word daya(I also don't know how to translate "word" into hausa)

What does "zama" mean?

Like someone says "Na zama a Yola".

am0s:
..
although i cant speak it well..
buh i get it anytime its spoken....plus am a half yoruba half hausa guy

I can manage to understand/speak like 60%/50% resp. I'm trying to improve even tho' I'm no longer there . Which part is yours?

Paretomaster:
"murna" = happy/ glad. nayi murna= am glad/happy.

Noted sir.

How do I say "Thank you once again" sire?

And also "dream" = "mufarki". Am I right?

AfricanApple:
I can see d eye through your writing

Ido nki ta na ba ki kariya

Paretomaster:
na jinjina muku = i salute u all.

Noted!!

I want to say this:

"I stayed in Adamawa for 3 years. That's where I learnt a little Hausa"

Would I be right to translate thus:

"Na zama a Adamawa zai kai shekara uku. A Chan na koya Hausa kadan"

(I know I'm not completely right so I need corrections)

psalmizt:
Some couple of pages back I think jinjina meant enjoyment. So I reckon that should be interpreted as enjoying yourselves

Paretomaster has done justice to it.

Paretomaster:
na jinjina muku = i salute u all.

Mu gode sosai malam Paretomaster .

am0s:
the only nigeria sexy language

I love the language die. And mind you, its not spoken in Nigeria alone. There's BBC Hausa but I don't think there's BBC Yoruba or Igbo

AfricanApple:
yes I know



gaskiya kariya ne, ka na son ta sosai, na ga n shi a idol nka

Buhehehehe . Daga ina ne ki gan ido na?

psalmizt:
Wow... lovely... am encouraged... how do dou say I am happy to hear that...

I do not know that word in hausa

Paretomaster will please help us or maybe he has already translated it somewhere on the thread so let's check .

Paretomaster:
Sannunku da aiki malaman Hausa, kuna kokari sosai, na jinjina muku.

I do not know what the bolded means but let me translate as best as I can


Sannunku da aiki malaman Hausa = Weldon to you all Hausa teachers.

Kuna kokari sosai = You are all trying very well

Na jinjina muku = I am feeling you all

psalmizt:
You re not a student Sir!

Actually I am. I just took a keener interest than others. There are still plenty of words I do not know the meaning .

neighy:
l0l... Ban da mata yanzu... Lafiya Lau... Sanu

Ba ka da mata ko ba ka son mata?

Translation: You don't have a wife or You don't want a wife?

psalmizt:
ka gane... nagode sosai

Ka = 2nd person male (i.e if you are referring to another male)

While

Na = 1st person(yourself)

So if I ask "Ka gane?", you are supposed to respond "Na gane"(I understand) or "Ban gane ba"(I don't understand)

Ka ji ko? = You hear so?

Paretomaster:
Inakwanan ku maza da matan Nairaland, ina. Fatan kun tashi lafiya?

Let any of our new student translate dis.

I hope I qualify as a new student sir

Good morning all Nairaland males and females, I believe/hope you all woke up well?

psalmizt:
What is the exact word for but, I see anam I see aman and in some cases i see ama ...,which is which ...

@Jbluv55 my fellow alumni please respond

Anam = here

E.g sannu nku anam = una Weldone here

Aman or ama or amma = but

E.g ina son ba ka kudi aman ban da shi yanzu = I want to give you money but I don't have it now

Ka gane?

MizMyColi:
Errrmmm

It's Official














I'm Lost.
Translate Please

Done!!!

AfricanApple:
Lol, u know I'm still behind u na, I couldn't write that in Hausa

Toh! But hope you know that you can't learn fast if you ain't prepared to make mistakes

*coughs* ka na neman mizmy?

Ina wasa ne fa . MizMyColi ta na da saurayi .
Translation: I dey joke o, MizMyColi has a boyfriend

Jbluv55:
Yarynya mai kyau, ki fada/rubuta a hausa mana. Ko ba makaranta na hausa ba ne wanan?

Translation:

Fine girl, speak/write in hausa na. Or isn't this an hausa school?

---

MizMyColi, Yaya kike yau? Ki ce ki na son na, ni kuma ina niman ki . Yaya za mu yi?

Translation: MizMyColi, How are you today? You say you like/want me, me sef I get interest in you . How we go take do?

---

Erm.....ina wasa ne fa, ki san ina da burduwa ko? = I dey joke o, you know I have a girlfriend right?
