The Igbo insult I only know is *ewu* ! Grew up in Zaria in the 80s and my classmates in secondary school would call each other that. With your video, I know more Igbo insults in addition to my Hausa insults my classmates taught me. When my group in a call centre found out I spoke Hausa, we were asked by our language trainer, why is it, people want to learn insults of a foreign language first. Ahhh...I just laughed. When my friends found out the Hausa insult words, we would curse each other in Hausa everytime. Much to the dismay of our trainer. 😁 By the way *ashawo* is Hausa.
i was born in america and my father was born and raised in nigeria and i have a white mother, my grandma (father's side) did not teach me Igbo while i was growing up so me and my cousins are trying to become self taught! but i dont know if i would be accepted in the igbo community because i am light skin tone and half-caste, what am i?
You have an Igbo father. You are Igbo. Nobody can take that from you. The heritage is yours to explore. On behalf of Igbo people we welcome you. Your skin colour is irrelevant.
@@OkwuID I'm in a similar situation to this guy. My mum is half igbo so while I still have some igbo blood I dont know if it's worth trying to embrace that part of my culture. I have lots of uncles aunties etc over in nigeria who are fully igbo that encourage me but I'm still not sure what to think. What would you say?
Asa is slang for a beautiful homely girl... Asa means smoooooth, stress free, clean, elegant.... then add the phrase mma (beauty) or nwa(baby). Asa mma nwe uzo. The "Asanwa that has the way".

If all Igbo women are that fine I need to take a trip. My doctor is Igbo and he never told me how fine Igbo women are.
Here's a small tip... careful not to put two vowels together. The vowel on the end of a word is dropped when the next word begins with a vowel
I am subscribing to this Chanel because of IGBO language
'Akwuna' is the Igbo equivalent to 'ashawo'.
But i would not advise anyone to use such an insult.
Akwuna is the Igbo word. Ashawo is an Igbo corruption of the Yoruba word, ‘asewo’ and its borrowed too from the Yoruba lexicon.
“Mmee gi” or “Ntoo gi” means “good for you” or “serves you right”.

What is asanwa? I keep hearing it my friend nigerian call me that he said it means beautiful chic
It means “Very beautiful girl”
Yes
Asanwa means beautiful lady.
Asa is slang for a beautiful homely girl... Asa means smoooooth, stress free, clean, elegant.... then add the phrase mma (beauty) or nwa(baby).
Asa mma nwe uzo. The "Asanwa that has the way".
The accent sounds bajan
imo state igbo is different 🤣🤣
Yes oo, we all have different way of speaking but still same meaning
I tot Get out of here is “Sii ebe a puo” not “Si nga puo” ?
You can say both. There might be regional preferences.
Different dialects
The two are the same, depending the tongue or (puo ebe)
It's called " igbo olu mba"
@Kedu Nu yes different dialects mine says fua ne boo
Mechi onu isn’t an insult o
You forgot waka! Using the whole hang.
Waka is Hausa not igbo
Good job!
But Si nga puo--Si ebe a puo
Ashawo means akwuna in Igbo
Chineke kpogi oku in short terms or general igbo...
Nne gi bu akwuna ,
do you have Igbo classes?
yeah a lot of Igbo classes and translations here
