Hello guys, I need to make a quick correction: the Twi expression for 'later', as used in this lesson, is 'akyire yi', and not just 'akyire'. In normal speech, we do tend to say it as though it's a unit (something like 'akyirei') but please note that it's 'akyire yi'. Meda mo ase!
Yaw mepa Wo kyɛw, make a video on connecting words like (or, but, so, here, there, if) and also past/ future tense.. .also please consider doing dialog role plays with translations .. maybe dialogue after each topic video medaase!!! You made you tube fun again!
Hi Yvette 😊. Yes, these and a lot more are all in the curriculum. We'll get there soon. And, I'll find a way to incorporate the dialogue bit in the lessons. Thanks 😊
i really like this! I pray that i get the patience and time to TRULY give it all I can to learn this language! The young fellow so far is a good teacher!
This has been fun to learn experience of twi i still learning i know many people from ghana other countries in Africa to get email class text to understand them in there language is so nice that u for this don't worry alot people in the states can't speak English language well here
I loved this lesson! Learning phrases helps me to understand how to use the words that I'm learning. It also helps me to practice having conversations as if I am in Ghana. Really helps with my retention. Keep up the excellent work!
Very nice and important lesson! Thank you so much, perfect teacher, for this lesson. Very well done. Step by step hopefully I will come through to understand the people in Ghana much better.
Ooooohhh.... good one!!! I don't know if my writing is correct... This sentence I should have used at the airport: Mepa wo kyɛw, memm bɔume (don't cheat me) And to know the word Ɔbua just helped me to get a confirmatiion on what I had been suspecting when someone warned a friend of mine 😃👍 it helps to understand a language well... I need to study much more and harder 😊 Meda wo asse paaaa Yaw!!!!! Go on with your great work. 🇬🇭💜 Now my second home😍
Buy & Sell Practice- wo w) fufuo? Me p3 fufuo. 😃 Medaase. I had my 1st conversation with my Dad in Twi. He said I need to work on my pronunciation but my writing in Twi is fine. 😎
I noticed that too. Similarly, when someone is asking how we are, we can say "ɛyɛ" and the "y" is pronounced there. A bit more pronunciation clarification is welcomed, Yaw. Mɛdaase pa ara!
thank you a lot for all those videos! why is it "meretɔ" and not "metɔ" when the verb is "tɔ" though? with all other verbs I have seen before, it was enough to add the personal pronouns before them, I didn't quite understand why there is a "re" in between the personal pronoun and the rest of the verb in this case. Thank you again for your help:)
The "re" is the progressive/continuous marker. This is equivalent to the "-ing" that you attach to English verbs to show that the action of the verb is ongoing. So, just "metɔ" will be "I buy", but "meretɔ" is "I'm buying". We'll delve more into this when we get to verb tenses. Medaase 😊
Nah, Joanna. This is an irregular verb so the positive has no correlation in form with the negative. The positive form is "wɔ (to have)". We'll look at these when we get to our verbs.
What's the difference between "wo and "wu"? For example: Wo ho te sɛn? (How are you?) Wo papa ho te sɛn? (How is your father?) Wu kunu ho te sɛn? (How is your husband?)
wo = you (in the case of your context, i.e. it has other meanings) wu = to die It's the same "wo" used in "wo kunu ho te sɛn?", not "wu", but its sound is affected slightly by the "u" in "kunu" (vowel harmony).

Lol, I'm just wondering how saying "don't cheat me" would stop a cheater 😀, kidding. Glad this helps. Thank you Anita 😊
Great channel

This is great. Will you have a series on the mechanic? What do you say when your car breaks down?
Yes, we'll definitely do that. Thank you 😊
Buy & Sell Practice- wo w) fufuo? Me p3 fufuo. 😃 Medaase. I had my 1st conversation with my Dad in Twi. He said I need to work on my pronunciation but my writing in Twi is fine. 😎
Yes, nkakrankakra (little by little), we'll improve together. Medaase 😊
I'm comparing the pronunciation of "ɛyɛ" at 11:14 with the one at 13:30... Can you please share a little about when we should glide over the "Y"?
I noticed that too. Similarly, when someone is asking how we are, we can say "ɛyɛ" and the "y" is pronounced there. A bit more pronunciation clarification is welcomed, Yaw. Mɛdaase pa ara!
@@aberry16 👋🏿😂
thank you for this! can you please explain the rule for why it is "ab3tua" for the future tense of 'and pay'?

Whats the meaning of ma me
"ma me", as used in the example in the video, means "for me". We'll look at this in a later video.
Why is it to na ton and not to ne ton?
What's the difference between "wo and "wu"?
For example:
Wo ho te sɛn? (How are you?)
Wo papa ho te sɛn? (How is your father?)
Wu kunu ho te sɛn? (How is your husband?)
wo = you (in the case of your context, i.e. it has other meanings)
wu = to die
It's the same "wo" used in "wo kunu ho te sɛn?", not "wu", but its sound is affected slightly by the "u" in "kunu" (vowel harmony).
