Hi guys 🙂, my attention was just drawn to a typo in the English translation of "Ɔhene no waree Ama ne Abena". It's "The king married Ama and Abena", not "The kind...". Sorry about that.
I actually really like ne & na as they’re similar enough to remember , but different enough to point out the subtle differences in the type of phrases being said good lesson once again
Aane yaw more video like this!!! Now this can help with sentence building. I was worried about you due to not having a video in a while. Glad your back
Ok (yoo), this was a bit tricky, but very (paa) valuable. Thank you so much for uploading these vids, so thoroughly and well done. Best source for learning Twi, even though I now got an acute aversion from "and" 😛
Not yet, actually. Generally, there is more work to be done by way of Twi writing before such a project can be pursued near success. As it stands, most users of the language do not even have Twi keyboards installed to begin with, and would write "3" instead of "ɛ" and ")" instead of "ɔ". And, beyond this, Twi writings devoid of mistakes are quite rare, unfortunately. So, we are focusing on our core aims: helping you to read better, write better, speak better. Once we make strides in these regard, we will definitely come up with such. It takes quite a lot of effort to come up with an average dictionary, and it would be disappointing to have one out only for users not to find what they are looking for due to misspellings.
Great lesson! When you say “there is actually another version of the second one (na)” what are you referring to? Is it “a”? Do you have a video on that already? Or will you make one soon? Thank youuuu!
Good day! Happy New Year! Its good to have you back. Thanks for the lesson. Question...1) what is the verb to kiss? Is it fe ano? 2) I know ano means lip what does fe mean? Thanks in advance.
Hi Joanna! Happy New Year to you too! Yes, you're right on all you've deduced so far. And, "fe", on its own, means "to suck". It is used together with "ano" as a verb phrase in Twi, meaning "to kiss"

Hello Dewitt, first off, the pronunciation tip given in our previous lesson does not apply to all words that contain the letter "r". Secondly, it would be wrong to take that tip as a strict rule. It isn't, as I've said continuously (please refer to the comments beneath that video). It's just a tendency. We TEND not to pronounce the "r" especially with some of the examples given, and especially with the Asante Twi dialect. You would hardly hear a speaker of the Asante Twi dialect say, for instance, "merekɔ (I am going)", or "pa ara (very)", or "nko ara (only/alone)" with the "r". It's so rare that some even choose to write the last two as "paa" and "nkoaa". But, again, this is not a rule. And you wouldn't be wrong to say them with the "r" 😊
Oh, right! That's how we say almost all such phrases in normal speech: "Abena ho yɛ fɛ" would mostly be pronounced in the lines of "Abena hoɔɔfɛ" "Ne ho yɛ tan" would mostly be pronounced in the lines of "Ne hoɔɔtan" There will be a pronunciation lesson on this soon. Medaase 😊

Very good, Happy New Year. Are you working on a Twi to English dictionary?
Not yet, actually. Generally, there is more work to be done by way of Twi writing before such a project can be pursued near success.

So how would you say give me a kiss?

Fe mano
opanin do you translate songs on this channel
Hi Yaw, Would it be possible to have more lessons on other conjunctions please (like in, at and those you mention at the start of the lesson).
Sure Syerramia, they're already in the curriculum
7:39 why should the ɔhene be arrested?
years later realized i completely misunderstood this, i thought the king was ordaining the wedding lol
Are there gonna be more conjunction videos?
Yes, there will be more
What does the sentence mean, The kind married Ama and Abena?
It was a typo. It was meant to translate to "The King married Ama and Abena".
Thank you Emelia 🙂

I am a lil confused...sometimes it seems you pronounce the 'r' in words
Hello Dewitt, first off, the pronunciation tip given in our previous lesson does not apply to all words that contain the letter "r". Secondly, it would be wrong to take that tip as a strict rule.

it looks like the phrase at 9:13 does not match what you are saying
O saa? Which one exactly?
@@learnakan it says abena ho ye fe but he is saying abena ho on fe from what i can hear
Oh, right! That's how we say almost all such phrases in normal speech:
"Abena ho yɛ fɛ" would mostly be pronounced in the lines of "Abena hoɔɔfɛ"
"Ne ho yɛ tan" would mostly be pronounced in the lines of "Ne hoɔɔtan"
There will be a pronunciation lesson on this soon.
Medaase 😊
@@learnakan ooo i see, thanks!
