This is an amazing lesson! I watch these movies often so that I can get used to hearing the language while I'm learning. This was very helpful, thank you for all that you do 🙂
Medaase Kwame. Sɛ yɛka "mba", "ndi" ne nea ɛkeka ho a, ɛnkyerɛ sɛ yɛayɛ mfomsoɔ anaa birbi a ɛte saa. It's not really an error to not assimilate "mb" and "nd" into "mm" and "nn" respectively, especially in speech. It doesn't change anything as far as meaning is concerned. But this is a speech tendency, especially in Kumasi, and you will also find them written as "mm" and "nn" in standard Twi literature (e.g. the Bible; not social media writings). There will be lessons on this later.
Please check again, it's not negated. That "n" is marked as the imperative marker. Imperatives are used to issue orders, instructions, requests. Twi uses "m" or "n" to mark that as shown in "moMma yɛNtena apata no ase na yɛNdi (yɛNni) amanneɛ...". Twi speakers know this intuitively and use it when they speak (as the woman did in the clip), erasing the need to be taught it (at least up to the high school level). But foreigners who learn the language often require some explaining. We will look at this in detail a little later.
@@learnakan you had actually explained this point to me in response to a comment that i had posted. i was riding a trotro when the driver stopped en route to try to solicit more passengers. the passengers who were already on board became annoyed and started to yell: "mate! yenkɔ!" as you explained, the "n" did not negate the verb "kɔ" but gave a sense of urgency to it. the tone in which the passengers were speaking made it clear that they were telling the mate: "let's go... *now* !" while on the subject of future lessons, i am trying to figure out use of the word "so". it seems to be a modifier of some sort, at least in some contexts, especially when used at the end of a sentence. but in other contexts it seems to indicate when something is on top of something, either physically, or as a matter of content (such as being "on" twitter means that you have content that can be accessed there). is there a lesson where you have already discussed this?
when i have seen people using the term "sisi": th-cam.com/video/VX4IF-v9gl4/w-d-xo.html it looked to me that the accompanying hand gestures seemed to point to the lower back (e.g. when indicating lower back pain).
