Shouting = ihu

Stop = "daina" (I know there must be other translations for this)

Stop shouting = ka/ki/Ku daina ihu (male/female/many resp.)

doctorgold:
You dont know what the incident was and yet you claimed boko haram was intercepted in your topic. Dats so annoying. So, wherever you see the army, the first thing that comes to your mind is bokoharam?. Thats not even funny.
Well, the army carried out a raid on people involved in oil bunkering. It was a massive and unexpected raid. Dats all i can tell you

Jbluv55:
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".

Jbluv55:
Paretomaster has done justice to it.



Mu gode sosai malam Paretomaster .

Jbluv55:
Noted sir.

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

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

Jbluv55:
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 [b]zaUNa [/b]a Adamawa zai kai shekara uku. A Chan na koya Hausa kadan"

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

AfricanApple:
mail?

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

Jbluv55:
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 .
