Title: Hwan na ɔbɛtumi atwe nsuo a emu dɔ-gctid222482
Post by: Tenkamenin on Feb 22, 2017, 06:50 AM
Mɛyɛ adwuma a Onyankopɔn ama me.

Menam kwan so a IFA kyerɛ me.

Saa na IFA kyerɛɛ Agbonbula, nea a ɔbɛtumi atwe nsuo a emu dɔ sɛ ɔbɛnya ahonyadeɛ.

Ɔɔmo ka kyerɛ Agbonbula sɛ, ɔbɔ afɔdeɛ.

Ɔtiiɛ afei ɔbɔɔ afɔdeɛ.

Merenni nkoguo sɛ, mɛtwe nsuo a emu dɔ anya ahonyadeɛ.

Merenni nkoguo sɛ, mɛtwe nsuo a emu dɔ sɛ mɛbɔ bra pa.

I pursue the work my destiny has assigned me.

I walk the path IFA directs me.

This was the teaching of IFA for Agbonbula, Who would drain the deepest waters in order to be prosperous.

They said he should practice sacrifice. He heard it he complied.

 I will not fail to drain the deepest waters in order to be prosperous.

I will not fail to drain the deepest waters to achieve goodness.

Menim sɛ sɛ yɛwɔ kasamu a ɛwɔ adeyɛ ntoasoɔ a, na adeyɛ a ɛtɔ so mmienu no na ɛde nsianimu no 'a'. Nanso, sɛ adeyɛ a ɛdi kan yɛ adeyɛdua a, ɛwɔ sɛ adeyɛ a ɛdi akyi nnye nsianimu 'a' ara, anaa?

I know that if a sentence has serial verbs, then the second verb takes the prefix 'a'. But if the first verb is an infinitive then it is not required that the verb that follow takes the prefix 'a'?
