Translating ''I Miss You'' to Igbo won't make any sense, it won't mean the same the same thing and Igbo have its own way of saying such thing,

It's like saying good morning in Igbo, translating it to Igbo doesn't make sense

I disagree.


Good morning= Ututu oma

Ututu means morning , Oma means Good.

What happens here is just inter change

So you can't use this analysis to explain I miss you because it won't hold water.

Generate each and every word for I miss you and know if it will make sense even if you re- arrange.



I disagree with the context of your explanation.


Is totally unconstitutional, ultra vires, null and void and of no effect.

Sorry, just find the thread interesting and have to put up with corrections.


Ka osi daputa ( As it turns out)

Anya gi na eme m ( literally - Your eye is doing me), Is been long..., am lusting for you..am feeling you here...


I miss you-

Just hearing that for the first time..
While I boola chi is still correct, Ututu oma is also correct.

The truth is these sentences don't have direct translated equivalents in Igbo language. Between any two language translations, some sentences are easily translated and for some, it could be said in a different way but carry similar meanings. Also, some sentences in Igbo are hard to translate directly into English but rather the closest sentence carrying a similar meaning is rendered instead.

Natively, Igbos have had their own way of expressing these two sentences in the Igbo language. For example,

anya gi na-eme m, anya gi etc....carry the same meaning as 'I miss you' yet spoken differently.

I think I will agree with the explanation instead of those giving non-existent meaning.
