NIGERIAN PIDGIN ENGLISH IN 6MINS | QUICK, EASY AND FUN (Ep1)

[@1NERON]

im syrian but i love nigerian people and im starting to learn nigerain right now and all love

[@pidginlovers]

❤️❤️❤️

[@funmilarinde]

I’m Nigerian, but I didn't grow up there, and my parents didn't speak Yoruba to us kids. Now I'm an adult trying to learn everything, which is a challenge. I struggle with not feeling like a “true Nija” person among other Nigerians, and I feel like learning to speak pidgin connects me to my roots and my people. This video is a public service 😊 PLEASE keep making these videos!

[@pidginlovers]

Awww!! I feel you😊 I’m glad this helped ❤️

[@zabinareynolds333]

I love your tutorial. Please continue 🙏🏾

[@Justice4some]

Same basically

[@BrandonJohnson-vv9vz]

Me too! 👀....

[@livelifewithkaykay5050]

Same basically & growing up speaking English and now almost 30 trying to learn and pronounce pidgin is hard because it’s like unlearning proper English to be honest

[@Damnitsnightmare]

Haitian 🇭🇹 here but love Nigerians songs and movies

[@pidginlovers]

Awww!! Nice to have you here❤️❤️

[@MichaelWillems]

I spent time in Nigeria in the early 1980s, in Lagos, Port Harcourt , and Warri. I loved loved live the Nigerian Pidgin. Great to hear you explain.

[@pidginlovers]

Oh wow! That’s interesting 😊

[@4evertubeyou2]

I love Nigerian Pidgin

[@pidginlovers]

☺️

[@TheSnowdogsShorts]

How far, I live in the UK, and I am disabled. Many of my carers are from Nigeria (27 so far), and I have been learning Pidgin from a couple of them. I find it a fascinating language. I love the reactions that I get from the other Nigerian carers when I use Pidgin words and phrases. They are so happy when I do this. I have found that the Nigerian women are so full of positive energy, they are open and friendly. I very much look forward to their visits. They bring a lot of happiness to me life. The least that I can do, is learn a little bit of Pidgin. Oyana! o/

[@Aruthy1]

🎉 you do well

[@AnArchyRulzz]

Have some new Nigerian friends at college and they were speaking Pidgin and i couldnt understand a word lol, this was helpful. Been loving getting to know my Nigerian classmates.

[@pidginlovers]

😂😂 that’s why I’m here 🤗🤗

[@marciahelenafrancosoares1237]

I am brazilian, and you said that "sabi" means "to know" that made so much sense to me, because in portuguese (brazilian portuguese) the verb "to know" is "saber". That is crazy

[@pidginlovers]

Oh wow! That’s interesting to know😊 Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@newgenerationfarms7969]

Pidgin is mixed with Portuguese, English, and Nigerian indigenous languages, when the Portuguese came to Nigeria for trade, there was need need for communication...

[@ADBProductions_]

I sabi am English Portuges and Espanhol and Nigerian Pidgin is so easy to learn! I love it!

[@iworhosemeke1116]

Yes thats because Sabi was gotten from Saber.

[@misterkolson6045]

I am Ivorian but my father is Nigerian from the Yoruba people. I do not speak it well but I notice some words in Pidgin are also used in the Yoruba language and that's' gbamsolutely awesome. Maybe their origin is there. It's a bit like "Nushi" in Côte d'Ivoire which is a mixture of local languages and even latin languages. Thank you fro the video and I follow you from now on .😊😌

[@pidginlovers]

You are amazingly🥰🥰🥰 Thank you for sharing and welcome to the @pidginlovers family 💃🎉🥳❤️

[@souleymanedosso4135]

Me too I am an Ivorian-Liberian I love Naija pidgin I really want to learn it

[@gawain8000]

[@we_are_doomed123]

I'm so glad I found you! I've been fascinated by Nigerian Pidgin for some time now because I love afrobeats sooo much! I've already learned quite a lot thanks to afrobeats lyrics but I'm so excited to learn more from you! Gbamsolutely amazing, thank you and much love from Poland 😊❤

[@pidginlovers]

Awwww!!! I’m glad you found me too😆 I’m glad you find my videos helpful ❤️

[@doctorpineapplefruit3459]

Having a Nigerian character in a book I am writing. Your video helped me a lot with better understanding pidgin and hopefully making the carachter talk more realistic. Now I am only left with the seemingly impossible task of finding examples of Nigerians speaking or learning german. I need to know how the accent sounds in german to give an accurate description 😂

[@pidginlovers]

Oh wow! I’m glad you found my videos helpful❤️❤️ That seems like a very difficult task. I wish I could help

[@iworhosemeke1116]

If you want to see Nigerians speaking German chevk out Unicolodum here on youtube

[@AbrahamThadeusJohannes]

[@Sebaseen]

Wow, u such a positive person, u just bring a smile to my face by simply watchin u speak 😅

[@archiemokhethi8464]

Sabi, which is to know in pidgin, has its origin from Portuguese. Remember the Portuguese got to Nigeria before the British. The name Lagos sef na Portuguese. Keep up the good work.

[@pidginlovers]

♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@Mmcluke]

Exactly, Lagos is a Portuguese word that means Lakes

[@ibrahimjamesgbondo1451]

[@amal.s.khamis]

Can you please help me to know what "you gatz change am for dem"

[@pidginlovers]

🤣🤣🤣 its hard to explain....it is used in different contexts could mean you... "YOU SHOULD QUERY SOMETHING OR TAKE SOMETHING UP"

[@nokunato]

Context 1: maybe someone offends you and you're been too soft to react. It means you have to show them a side of you they've never seen(the angry side) Context 2: could be they telling you to change something for someone.

[@MahmahObi-te9gx]

K- leg also mean something is not straight. Like the leg when they are not looking straight.

[@pidginlovers]

💯💯

[@oscarasiedu3799]

What does "omo" means

[@adejokeogunleye8642]

It means child in Yoruba language. It's used the way Americans use "child" as a slang. But when we're talking in the formal send, it means child.

[@pidginlovers]

Omo originally means child but in pidgin we use it as an exclamation when chatting informally with a close friend, usually in same age bracket as you. I have taught this before. Please watch my old videos ❤️

[@IBRAHIMWISDOMTV]

😂 OH my gosh😅

[@pidginlovers]

[@renesinnette5459]

What jaffa mean

[@pidginlovers]

Not sure you’re spelling it right. Please cross check and get back to me

[@glenwang5590]

No put me for wahala o means ?

[@pidginlovers]

It means “don’t get me in trouble”😊

[@yasseralsaidi1168]

Being a woman can be fun but you must have Leverage

[@victorisaac1692]

What does “ah go change am for u“ means when someone is speaking to you aggressively?

[@pidginlovers]

It means “I will be really gross with you” 😊

[@1138pratt]

I'm an American who has a love for language. Is it *bawoni o* or "mo bawoni" when they ask me "how body?"

[@johnsonolushola5131]

Bawo ni means how are you or how are you doing in YORUBA

[@1138pratt]

@@johnsonolushola5131 Thanks 🙏🏾 so then *How body* or *How far* is best?

[@johnsonolushola5131]

@@1138pratt Yes cos that pidgin not YORUBA. “How you dey” is a better way as it translates directly to “ how are you”
