How good can you translate English to Igbo?

You think you're good, then let's play the game.

We'll put up some English lines here and we'd see the persons with the best Igbo translation.

The answer with the highest number of Likes and shares after 4 days (96 hours) wins N1000.00 airtime of any choice.

NB: All the marks that go with Igbo alphabets for better reading and understanding MUST apply where necessary. For example, STAR is Kpákpándò and not kpakpando.

Now, we begin with two sentences.

1. I miss you so much.

2. I am serious.

I am not sure if we have any direct translation equivalents of those sentences in Igbo. However, we do have certain sentences in Igbo that carry very close meanings to the two above.

1) Anya gi na-eme m rinne.

2) A dighi m egwu egwu.

I miss you = Anya/ Anya kwa/ Anya gị/ Anya gị kwa.

I' am serious = Eziokwu/ Ọ bụghị egwu/ Ọ bụghị ihe egwu/ A naghị m egwu egwu.

The annotations that goes with writing African languages could be avoided, cause the context of a sentence would tell what a writer means.
