₦airaland Forum

Now I understand the meaning of, "What you don't know can't kill you." Nigerians get small sense sha. They always coin a parable or quote to suit their laziness. This is why they came up with, "Dirti no dey kill Africa man." Those people who use this quote regularly have unhygienic lifestyles. How can you say that?

Typing...

I promise to make this short. So, in English, there is something called The 8 Parts of Speech — sometimes, some grammarians prefer the 9 Parts of Speech.

Mind you, I'm a programmer, not an English teacher or student, but while in secondary school, we learnt from the best teachers. This is why I'm always grateful for mingling with the best since I was born.

Typing...

Most kids, like the boy ranting, are those who preferred mingling with people who will teach them how to smoke in a bush when a class is going on — instead of learning.

Now, he's facing the consequences. Robert Kiyosaki of Rich Dad Poor Dad said, "When you're young, work to learn, not to earn."

He will definitely remain wayward on Nairaland as he jumps from one thread to another trying to make sense and be accepted. Kings don't jump around except it fetches money. People come to them.

Enough of the talk joor. #Smiles.

So, we are simply going to look into two of them — the parts of speech.

1. Adjective
2. Adverb

The bone of contention is:

1. I will not take him serious (incorrect).
2. I will not take him seriously (correct).

Typing...

What is an adjective? An adjective is a word that "expresses" the attribute of something or simply put as the word class that qualifies "nouns." We all know what a noun is, so make I just leave that one [PE].

Typing...

What is an adverb? An adverb is the word class that qualifies verbs (action words) or clauses. Simply put: it's a word that modifies something other than a noun.

Extra tip: most adverbs end with —ly suffixes

Typing...

The word "serious" is an adjective. In the first sentence, he's using it to modify a pronoun "him" instead of using an adverb "seriously" to describe the verb "take," since he was trying to refer to my manner, not me.

Now, some people brain don dey turn upside down. I would love to explain, but it's better to explain it a book and make money from it. I have promised not to share too many goodies on NL again. Whatever I type with my finger issa goal = money. #Smiles.

Typing...

I'll refer all interested members to go to the internet and do the research themselves. Search for serious vs seriously. Oh, as a good Nigerian, let me show you some questions asked in some forum on the net.

Mr. Prince asked and I quote, "I can't take you serious anymore (vs) I can't take you seriously anymore.

Is it okay to say what is your objective behind this action? Please correct me wherever is needed

Mr. Wilmer replied with, "The common expression is I can't take you seriously anymore. Beyond that, I don't understand what your question is."

Mr. Thar replied with, "The correct word is 'seriously'. It is an adverb. It describes how you take them - the verb.

I can't take you seriously.

But

Colloquially, in informal speech, some people use adjectives instead of adverbs for some words. E.g. some people might say 'you run quick' or 'he talks loud'. Or 'I can't take you serious'.

For correct grammar, those should be adverbs - quickly, loudly, seriously.

If you have seen or heard this, what you heard was the way some people talk - but that is not considered correct grammar. If you say or write it, that would be considered a mistake - bad English."

Typing...

Another person asked, "I wonder which one (take it serious/take it seriously) is right, or maybe they're both right. Any and all help appreciated! Thanks in advance."

Someone replied with, "'take it seriously' is the correct phrase in BE because seriously is an adverb, while serious is an adjective (and in this case the word describes the actions of the verb take, so we need an adverb)."

Another person replied with, "I know of "be serious", but I have never heard or read "take it serious" on either side of the Atlantic."

Another one said, "I think you might tell someone to 'Get serious' if you thought they were being too frivolous. But never 'Take it serious.'"

Typing...

Unfortunately, the ignorant rat that was ranting went to this site below to do copy and paste of something different. On that link below, the people there aren't English authorities, so they were still asking and debating, but he copied and pasted it to appear intelligent.

[PE] This kind thing dey happen for exam hall sha. Some olodo students go copy everything wey them see online or their intelligent classmates write. In fact, some of them go even copy him name and surname join.

Typing...

Truthfully, no one is above mixtakes. I make them too. The bad side is: when you make a mixtake and someone who knows it for many years tries to correct you, but you look at it and say, "It's not a mixtake," then you're dumb. Such person is the correct spelling of "mixtake = mistake."


Typing...

Please, Nairalanders, don't be like that olodo who knows nothing, but kept typing to look smart. The more the typed, the dumber he looked. Smart people don't argue, they educate. I'm not arguing with him, I'm teaching him, but he has refused to listen.

The guy that was corrected read it, went online to do a Google search, realized he was wrong, then kept quiet. He is smart. He accepted his mistake and kept quiet, but this illiterate called...wetin be him name self? Is it Kalinik of Croatia?Kept ranting. Don't be like Kalinik — be humble. #Smiles.

Typing...

As I have said, "He will be ignored until he upgrades his English skill."

If he continues ranting, I'll quote him without a reply just to keep a record of my co-author. Luckily, as he rants, the thread will keep trending and the benefit is mine.

When I create another thread, he will still come to attack. That's how emotionally injured and wayward people behave. If he likes, let him create 200 threads, I'll not go there to attack him. That's the difference between a boss and a boy.

Below image is where he came to steal examples. The line "I think" is used by people who are not sure, but are trying their best to make a point from a rule that already exists.

https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/298136/why-is-it-to-take-someone-seriously-and-not-to-take-someone-serious

Tying...

Let me ask you, readers, a question. You're in an example hall and the invigilator says, "Two minutes to go." Will you copy an answer from a fellow student who says, "I think this is right."? Or another student who says, "I know this is right."?

Thank you all for reading.

As I have said, he has been ignored. All I posted is for smart people to learn. Arrogant illiterates always try to prove a point and he will do it — just watch out. He will waste his time and I'll use his post to make money. The time you've used to acquire a new skill on YouTube.

I'm wicked, stingy, and broke. Lol. God forgive me o! The good thing is: I'm not perfect, but I know "when I know" and I know "when I don't."


Clef on!

This bastardized reject is still arguing foolishly? are you cursed to disgrace your parents on this forum? Your brain is saw dust filled i swear....

After making mockery of your intellect, is this your comeback rebuttal? little wonder your lazy âss couldn't give me a mention, scared puppet!. I never knew sourcing for information on the internet to school you equals stealing.

How did you know i got it from the internet if you weren't also sourcing for information, you see why i keep calling you a hypocritical dunce.

You should be grateful, i made you visit google tonight, imagine a bookseller who is too lazy to do a research on the internet all by himself, the iidiot needed my go-ahead.. Did you ever see the walls of a school at all?.. i doubt it!!!

It is one thing to be ignorant, it is another to be arrogantly ignorant, i will reveal to you why your old man should have never wasted his funds on your education.

Emotional bastard, you had better get a hold of your emotions, you talk to goddamn much, you have more comments than sense!

You are a lazy thinker, a jobless bastard, a demented sociopath who is too dumb to admit his mistake, this is what happens when you skip classes during lesson periods, You should go get a refund from your school...

You of all dimwits, pressing whose mumu button exactly? Remind me again, are you not the faggôt who seeks vindication from nairalanders as a whôre seeks for diicks?

You talk to much on things not being asked? who asked you if you the gibberish you stated above, see the way your emotions keep betraying you!!!

Pity is the right word for what i feel for you, a failed bookseller who gives out his poorly constructed notes for free yet people still ignore his books as they would a plague

Ignore that guy, he's just a troll. Everyone ignores his useless posts

I feel like posting this. He calls me a troll, but he monitors all my threads. Is he in love with me?

He calls my posts useless posts, but he is always the first to read all my posts and updates. Are you sure he is okay? If you ask him, he'll probably say he wants to check the useless update I made.

Whatever I post on this forum, this boy will view it, but pretend. He said everyone ignores his post, but there he is viewing. He has been PostDicted.

Taking these hypocrites seriously is a waste of time. See him viewing. It wasn't up 40 seconds I made the update, but he was there viewing.

Please, Son, use your time wisely. Don't waste your time viewing my useless threads. Keep to your words.

Don't ever give me a mention anymore

You must be the most jobless fellow on this forum with your stupid posts

Yes I view your posts because I know it's just going to be another senseless rambling of words and you never disappoint.

Go look for a job cause your books ain't cutting it

I said it. He has been PostDicted. Every single time these kids talk about "your book," they don't know they are doing a free promo for me.

All I have to do is to post the download link and that's all. It doesn't matter if what they say is positive or negative. All I want is for them to say something and I'll cash in.

Lol. I don't I need pity. I need them to move forward.

Though, I don't reply all of them. Anyone I reply and I notice he is too dumb, I'll press his emotional mumu button, then I'll withdraw and he'll go on a goose chase as he types two chapters of a book for me.

Thomas Edison said, "You don't need to do everything yourself — use people to get ahead." So, I use them to get ahead. Despite revealing all these, they'll still not have sense. They have been PostDicted.
