Show notes

In this episode we learner a series of phrases in Igbo that utilize words of the body part to convey different meanings. For example "aka nri" translated directly means the hand of food, but it actually means "right" or "right hand." Another example is "iri ju afọ," which directly translated means "eaten till stomach full," but in actuality, it is a phrase that means "are you satisfied." We also learn Igbo verbs in the command or imperative form and practice the verbs and phrases in a game called "Somto si," similar to the game "Simon says."
