Lovethywilbedon: My friend you are dead wrong, besides you have no right to construct any word in Igbo Language. Now know this, Igbo Language is a Dynamic Language, when new things come up, Professors in Igbo Linguistics bring out new coinages for them and when they do, who are you to say that they are "wrong"?. Just the way The "IFEJIOKU" Festival in Igbo Land was coined into The "NEW YAM" Festival by English Linguists and you don't say they are wrong, so do we have Igbo words for most of the new inventions of the last century like Aeroplane, Microphone, Bomb, Jeep, Smart Phone, Internet, Computer Etc. For example that of Computer is "IGWE ORU NNU OLU" I know you have not heard that before. You better come back home and learn your fathers Language. NDEWO! NWANNE M.

What's your deal? Why the animosity? I seriously advise you to cool down and re-read my entire post because you either clearly misunderstood it or you are deliberately misconstruing my statement.

I have every liberty to construct translations of English words that do not already exist because I am a freeborn Igbo son.

You better come back home and learn your fathers Language

I love how you just assumed that I lack command of my language. If you had taken the time to find out more about me, you wouldn't have made that silly statement. Nothing annoys me more than people arriving on baseless conclusions on my relationship with my culture.
