I'm from India and now I'm in senegal I'm also new I'm learning Wolof but its pronounce so difficult and here people speak very fast Wolof

[@wolofacademy]

I used to say the same thing about English several years ago. I think it’s a universal feeling experienced by all new languages learners lol. However I think over time and with enough practice, you’ll get used to it, inshallah. Keep exposing yourself to the language as much as possible and you’ll see results.

I saw in a pdf about learning Wolof the sentence 'maa ngiy jang wolof', is that also correct? Or can it be so simple as 'man jang wolof'?

[@wolofacademy]

That's correct! You can also say "maa ngiy jàng" in Wolof. "Maa ngi" is a presentative pronoun that can be used to present the action one is doing. Unlike the object emphasis pronoun, it does not put the focus on the object. In this case, there is no focus.

Jërëjef ibrahima. So do i understand correctly that there are 4 kinds of personal pronoun conjugations: focus on object, subject, action and on nothing in particular?

[@marc.2623]

Ohh this is so helpful! Thank you lots!

[@wolofacademy]

Yes we can say so. Wolof subject pronouns have two roles : display tense and put the focus on one part of the sentence. They either do one of these or both.

😢it's seems to be complicated..

[@wolofacademy]

Don’t worry ! It was just an overview of the concept. I’ll go more in detail in future videos inshallah !

[@wolofacademy]

It’s becomes quite easy once you understand the concept. I promise 👌🏾
