Even after I resisted calling u mumu, which is only descriptive. So ungrateful.
Look at this nigga.
Your only saving grace is that I just came back from an unjust ban.

See this otondo.
Are you tired of weeping to now start providing false and incorrect premises.
Wetin you sabi for Igbo language?

Your admiting that everyone has been using Chidinma makes it the correct version. A living language like Igbo is constantly changing and evolving. Today's correct English would be highly incorrect in King James's day

If my guess was spot on about your person, then the turning point must have been massive.

But You're kinda weird by contemporary standard, who's a fan of B& H in this part of the world, unless you are a native. Lol

I'm sure your guess is very far off the target. grin grin

I like BHA cos I thought they were the underdog when they got promoted to the PL but so far, dem de try. Not like Crystal Palace that has refused to have and may never have sense after all these years. angry angry

Not when it violates the English alphabet. The alphabet is constant. You can't call '' night'' ''Nighnt" in any century. it will be wrong due to the laws of vowels and consonants.
The same applies to Chidinma. It violates the Igbo alphabet.
Do you understand?

it's not igbo.

I just spoke with my mum and two uncles right now.
The pronunciation of knife is nma in my dialect, but the spelling is mma.

Meanwhile Chidinma is the correct spelling and pronunciation of the name, from our end as confirmed by both of them

O di nma = it is good
O ma ra mma = it is beautiful.


Like I said it is a dialect thing, and no dialect is Supreme over another.

Do you understand?

Igbo alphabet as set up by who? Igbos decide what their alphabet should be, not you. If they decide by usage that nma is better that mma, Who r u yo tell them they r "incorrect"

From my understanding, 'Chidinma' means "God is good"

while 'Chidimma' means "God is good TO ME"

some even bear 'ChiMdinma' meaning, "MY God is good"
or 'ChiMdimma' meaning MY God is good TO ME"

There is no wrong or right spelling, its only wrong when you use a variation for an individual with another variation of the name. I know most bearers are always fast to correct the caller on which particular one they bear despite that fact that the differences are slight.

THIS.

The names are both correct.
Chidinma: means God is good.
Chidimma: means God is good to me.

Every Igbo bible dictates it as Nma: So I will rather go with ChidiNma, Nmesoma, OsitadiNma.

u are drunk. U come into a thread without anything reasonable to say than to insult a whole race. While in your afonja region there are 1001names that are spelt anyhow. Example taofeek/taofik. Go and ask your council of skull miners to reach a concensus on the correct spelling of taofeek/taofik/taofiki
I give up on your stupidity to think every nairalander is from Yoruba... Mumu

She is wrong. "God is good to me" is "chi dirim mma" or chidirimmma or Chidimmma NOT Chidimma and Igbos don't give that name anyway.

How I wish my guess hit the bull's eyes, but then again...

I closely followed Aitor's BHA until he was fired for an obvious reason. You may want to have a rethink on Crystal Palace, those guys have been working their soaks off in the past couple games.

Now u r talking. Language is by usage. Whatever the vast majority of people are doing is correct. Afterall why should t be in kitchen. Makes no sense EXCEPT that's how everybody writes it. If everybody starts dropping that t that would become the correct spelling.

All this is so because you and your academic cohorts say it is so, abi? When did I agree to any of this. If most Igbos prefer Chidinma then Chidinma is correct. That's how language works. Afterall King James English was the "correct" English of it's day
.

Sorry, but I can't remember anybody saying you agreed.
There is a strict difference between preference and correct. That I said 12noon is night in Nigeria, is strictly my choice/preference which no one can compel me to change, but that does not make it correct 'by the rules of my academic cohorts'.
As at today, if you can give an evolved authority which says ...Nma has become correct and prove it beyond reasonable doubts; not with 'what most prefer', I will gladly accept your views. We are all students of life aren't we? So go ahead and do that please.

They're the same thing, in igbo, n and m acts like vowels. It is either mma or nma in relation to beauty
