Learning Loma Language
ngo = good morning.
oboy, nguay = my friend, good morning (in response to 'ngo')
yana = good afternoon/good evening.
va bel sue = how are you? (have any problems)
fine lay sue = good/well. (have no problems)
ya la zegi? = what is your name?
na-de zegi ya ga Mike. = my name is Mike.
It gets complicated when you are talking to a group of people:
wugo
oboy, wuguay
wana
wa la zegi?
ga la zegi a ga ........ (everyone in group then says their name)
Been practicing with the children and the workers. They get quite a kick out of it.
