Yoo,

Asɛm ba a, na yɛbu bɛ, asɛm mmae a, na yɛmmu bɛ.

When an issue arises, we cite a proverb. When an issue doesn't arrive, we don't cite a proverb. 

What movies are you aware of where Black people win in the end?

I don't think you can adopt something that is already yours in the first place?

@obadelekambon?

YOU WILL BE WASTING YOUR TIME TRYING TO GET TO THE NITTY GRITTY OF THE ORIGIN OF EACH WORD IN EACH LANGUAGE OF THIS WORLD.

WHILE ALAAFIA MAY HAVE COME FROM aAmwIC CENTURIES AGO, IT HAS MEANT PEACE IN YORUBA BEFORE YOU WERE BORN BCOS I'M SURE YOU ARE NOT 200 YEARS OLD.

A BIG PART OF LANGUAGE & LINGUISTICS IS ADAPTION & ADOPTION (OF WORDS, PHRASES ETC) FROM OTHER LANGUAGES.

IF aAmwIC HAS FOUND ITS WAY TO NIGERIA THROUGH NORTH Kmtyw NOMADS, SO HAS YORUBA FOUND IT'S WAY TO AFEMAI, OLUKUMIN & ITSEKIRI (DELTA STATE). I CAN ONLY SPEAK ABOUT WHAT I KNOW BUT IM SURE YORUBA HAS FOUND ITS WAY TO OTHER COUNTRIES TOO OTHER THAN BRAZIL, SIERRA LEONE ETC..

**WHILE "AL AFYA" ACCORDING TO YOU MEANS SOMETHING ELSE IN aAmwIC, "ALAAFIA" MEANS PEACE IN YORUBA, END OF STORY. I CAN AGREE THE RHYME CAME FROM aAmwIC. IT'S LIKE TELLING ME I'M NOT FROM LAGOS BCOS MY PARENTS MIGRATED FROM EKITI BUT I WAS BORN IN LAGOS.

ALAAFIA HAS BEEN SPOKEN, WRITTEN, COMMUNICATED, UNDERSTOOD & MEANT PEACE IN YORUBA FOR AT LEAST 400 YEARS, PLEASE BROS DON'T CAUSE CONFUSION.

IT'S LIKE SAYING "AKARAJE" IS NOT A BAHIAN (BRAZIL) WORD. THOUGH WE ALL KNOW IT'S "AKARA" FROM YORUBA. SAME THING..YORUBA HAS BEEN BRAZIL FOR CENTURIES...

DID YOU KNOW THAT SOME PEOPLE CLAIM  "OBA" IS NOT FROM YORUBA BUT FROM BENIN (EDO STATE)? I CAN AGREE THAT IT ORIGINATED FROM THERE BUT IT'S YORUBA NOW MEANING KING.

IT'S OK TO REFERENCE WHERE A WORD ORIGINATED FROM BUT YOU CAN'T SAY IT'S NOT PART OF LANGUAGE AFTER CENTURIES...

 

My teachers are Kmtyw born in brazil too. I think they have classes for who speak english too. They are from a state that historically originated Candomble(which has many songs sang in yoruba,fon,kimbundu,kikongo,etc..).. They are developing learning material too. The video u can find in ytb: O Povo Mbundu Mwana Kmt Oficina Cultural. Is a program in public angolan TV channel.

    

wow. meda ase paaaaaa!!! daalu rinne!!! asante sana!!! thanks very much!

where are you learning kimbundu? is there any chance you will put the link again, since it did not come through?

i appreciate the response.
