Re: Other Names For A Fool In Yoruba by knotty(m): 3:15pm On Apr 25, 2007 |
laudate second language acquisition start with abusive words, abi you no know? to learn a few abusive words is to start learning a new language. besides, butter like you that do not understand their native languages, a little tutorial will not hurt. else how will those guys calling olosi and were to mean a fool will ever get to know how wrong they were. so when next i call you OTONDO, you will know i am saying ba wo ni o? |

knotty: Don't worry, I do not need a tutorial. Am quite fluent in my own native language. I also understand quite a bit of Yoruba, as I have lived in the South-West for several years. You claim that 'second language acquisition start with abusive words.' Well, that is certainly news to me. I used to think that studying a language started with a mastery of the alphabets in that language, followed by a study of the vowels that make up the speech patterns. But what do you know? Knotty says its' different. I guess we all live & learn a little, everyday. So let's assume, I was trying to study Igbo, would you recommend that I should start a new thread with abusive words in Igbo, like Anuofia, efulefu and Onye ara? |

closetpervert: when did Knotty become a Yoruba word? help me ask this [b]Dadand[/b]i. well since the [b]shugomu [/b]has thrown the court open, why don`t we just ask everybody to tell us what other names fools are known by in their language. afterall, fool na fool, no matter for age, not minding the language. but please, let no one mention the word RACA. that one na sin, i no dey there. in Hausa we also have dolo sakarai gabo |
