"Because" or "Because of" (depending on the context).

The way Dede uses it sounds like he's saying for the sake of

bigfrancis21:


Sample examples would be:

Onye a biana afia taa, n'ifi na afia a diro taata. Nobody should come to the market today because there is no market today.

Onye a kpana nwa agu aka n'odu, maka na nna ya nwelu ike ino nso. Nobody should touch the tail of a tiger's cub because its father could be close by.

Maka ifi gi ka m jili biaba olu taata. Because of you I came to work today. (Literal translation. A proper translation in English would be, I came to work today because of you. Or M bialu olu taata maka ifi gi.)

Ooh you were using a negative command I thought u were using perfect tense. But thank you!
So from my observation could u use n'ihi when I want to say for the sake of something

Phut:


Learning should never be discouraged. He may only know "maka" as because. After all there are differences from dialect to dialect

Thank you! That's exactly the case i used context clues to understand the sentence when I heard it used but I wanted some one to directly tell me what it is

bigfrancis21:


'N'ihi na' is used to buttress a point or give further explanation to an earlier spoken statement. It simply means, 'because of'. Mainstream Anambra would say, 'n'ifi na'. A synonym for it in Igbo is, 'maka na'.

Sample examples would be:

Onye a biana afia taa, n'ifi na afia a diro taata.

Onye a kpana nwa agu aka n'odu, maka na nna ya nwelu ike ino nso.

Maka ifi gi ka m jili biaba olu taata.

Thank you for your comment and I understand it Now! and just to make sure I understood what I read could you please rewrite ur Igbo sentences in standard Igbo (izugbe) or English If you're not use to that

adeitoro:


My brother, I tireoo.
Imagine listening to Obama speaks but don't know the meaning of because of

I don't understand your comment

chymystique:
"Because Of"

Thannks

MrKontrovErsy:
op are u not igbo
i dont get it
u listening to dede one day means u understand igbo very well
how come u dont kno d meaning?
im just asking

I don't get it because i've never heard it before and that's why I don't know the meaning.

It's exactly like Phut described it. I've only heard maka for because.

Hi so I was listening to Dede one day's comedy videos and he says that a lot. I don't really know what this means but he uses it around stuff he's trying to stress . Igbos please help me!

Omg it was catchy and I've forgotten the name of it but I remember one line
It's like SEE BUM BUM OMO SEE BOM BOM SEE BOM BOM Something something something something
Then it's like dance like a (blank) then something else then Twerk it! Twerk it twerk it twerk it!

MrsPhyno:

When he was listing all the artists like Mr Raw Bracket Flavour etc, why was he saying 'na 042' when not all of them are from Enugu


After saying icholiya there was another word he used just repeating those two words for the whole chorus. Do you know it?

If you say nnunu will people automatically assume your talking about hot chicks or can it still be used as 'bird'

Sorry for all the questions

They were born in Enugu that was his point we all know phyno and favour are straight from anambra immediately u listen to their music
But illbiss is truly an nkweree boy
And phyno is from Akwa while flavor idk and wait lmao. Mr.raw used to say ABIA
in his music

OdenigboAroli:


Good.
I have more.
bulu egwu...to leave. nwanne,ka ayi bulu egwu.
ndobi...to be dead. nwanne,odobigo.
nko...insane....nwanne,ibu onye nko.

Is this another o as in one ha for Nko
Because if so ask you self how do you say sharp in Igbo
It's Nko so if they are pronounced the same tell me

MrsPhyno:

Are you from that side?

Good song right. Zoro is fire. Can you understand the meaning?

I'm not from Enugu but I understand it

MrsPhyno:
Phut
Did you ever end up listening to that Zoro song 042

And 'icholiya' na slang be dat abi na proper Igbo?

Nnunu in the context Phyno used it in is slang too sha. He's really popularizing a lot of slang

Icholiya is just phyno saying do you want it it's not really slang
And nnunu is definitely slang

[b][/b]

MrsPhyno:
Phut
Did you ever end up listening to that Zoro song 042

Oh I know that song!

OdenigboAroli:
Onye ngbu is an Anambra slang meaning a weakling...Guy ayi anaro azu ndi mgbu.
Arubam is an Anambra slang meaning my "G" or my Nigga.
Nkolo is Anambra slang meaning my hood,or my end.
"Ofego aka" means he is gone.
"Opia nkpulu" means gunslinger.
"Umu mma" means bevy of beauties.
"Wusa aru" means relax or chill out.

In Nkolo is it the o as in toe or o as in o
And can I use the Ofego aka for inanimate things
And what does wusa literally mean

Thanks a lot!

Radoillo:


In this context, it's more like 'a brave/fearless beast' or 'a hard-hearted animal' than 'a beast with a conscience'.

But now how do you apply this tho do you call somebody this when they're being a boss like

Phut:


Exactly! Most of these artistes music is full of slangs.

These are a few:

Odieshi
Anu nwelu obi
Nkwanta - Skirmish/little shoving match
I chago kwa anya, i se go kwa ife?

Is odieshi like when people joke about bullets can't do them anything they say they have odieshi?

Phut:
@ Joshuaiwe: you asked for slangs. Odenigbo has given you quite a few and so has Radoillo. But no interaction/feedback whatsoever for you. Abi na asampete you come find for here?

No that's not why I'm here but thank you for reminding me I actually had planned to come and look at them in one sitting and then respond
Then I forgot to come back sorry! But thanks for reminding me

Wait i dont get kupu too well is it like telling some one to get out?
Cuz like in phynos song nnunu phyno says nnunu machawa Akwa anyi ga kupu there
What does kupu mean in that instance
But thanks a ton daalunu!

Radoillo:
A few I remember from my old hood (Enugu):

Ikpa owa -- to drive (especially expertly)

Ikpu Uzu -- bodybuilding, especially if it involves weight lifting (Literally ikpu Uzu refers to blacksmithing)

Gbawa door -- get out (Literally meaning: Kick down the door)

Kupu -- same meaning as 'Gbawa door'.

Ndi Asai -- mad people (Asai comes from assylum) 'Kupulu ndi Asai (as Phyno said on the track) means 'Stay away/Get away from mad people'.

Ndi Eke -- The police (literally 'python people' --- I don't know how they got that name)

Oringo - means 'fun'.

Ita mgbe/iñu mgbe -high school slang that means 'playing truant' or 'skipping classes'. Literally means 'eating/drinking time'.

Iku olu - to stop one's plans from succeeding. ('Ha cho k'olu m kuo' - they want my plans to fail [Phyno's line])

Ito isi - Means 'giving a girl oral'. (Literally sounds like 'undoing braids')

OdenigboAroli:
" Onye isi okanga" means a trend setter.
"Nwanne mulu anya" means to be alert.
"Icha anya" means to get stoned...guy ichagokwa anya? Nwanne,isegokwa ife? Phyno comes to mind.
"Onye okuku" money spender....guys na aku-aku.

Is it like telling them to be awake or saying that they are awake thank you!

MrsPhyno:

Hmm no vex for her
It's a misunderstanding

Lol I'm alright! But thanks for commenting

Princessderaa:
op stick to ur dialect.shikena#

Omg I just realized you meant to say language. Lol I'm already doing that!

MrsPhyno:

Oh and it's true sha......

Hopefully not.

I thought maybe he's an Igbo boy that doesn't speak Igbo? Iono

And the winner is.... Mrs phyno.
For goodness sake how in the world did I appear anti Igbo it's ridiculous how words can lose their meaning when transferred to another persons screen. I'm learning to speak Igbo atm. Well I wouldn't say I don't speak tbh. I'm comfortable speaking while asking for a word here and there but I don't know that much slang and listening to Igbo music doesn't help because I'll here what they say but I recognize it as a slang and don't know what it means. I think this happened because I took more interest in proverbs than slang so here I am asking Igbo
people to tell me some. And I just got called anti Igbo.

Princessderaa:
op stick to ur dialect.shikena#

What you mean

Phut:

Exactly! Most of these artistes music is full of slangs.
These are a few:
Odieshi
Anu nwelu obi
Nkwanta - Skirmish/little shoving match
I chago kwa anya, i se go kwa ife?

what did she mean

Can people just write some Igbo slang for me, as much as you know, and tell me what it means in English
Buy any chance if it sounds better in ur dialect please put it in your dialect and in standard Igbo if u can

What do mbaise people talk like I've never met mbaise people in mbaise so I don't know what their dialect sounds like please educate me.
Please don't describe the sound but write a sentence that it's obvious it's them. Like Isi nini for owerri
Another question
Who tf are the people who started this whole thing of instead of using present continuos with na-a/e they just add a ga after the verb they've got me speaking like that sometimes but I wanna know who started that!

What does Igbo name mean the name is
Uwaoma and please I don't want the literal meaning cuz that doesn't make any sense

I was listening to sunny bobo and he was saying Eringa o wu super woman then the response was o wu onye akpu obi then another response akpu obi ya di too much. What is an akpu obi person.
Literally I see it as some one who pulls the heart of chest? But it's obviously a slang

I can't remember the name of the song I saw it in mtv base and all I can remember from the video was that it had phyno in it and they were active like they were getting interviewed on TV or something like that

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMdW6mc5YoE
I thought nnunu meant bird but this doesn't seem to have anything to Do with them
