Igbo til birikmasi - Igbo phrasebook

Igbo G'arbiy va G'arbiy-Markaziy Afrikada keng tarqalgan va Nigeriyaning milliy tili va Ekvatorial Gvineyaning tan olingan tili hisoblanadi.

Ókárá Ẹ̀kpẹ̀ nsibidi belgilari bilan bo'yalgan.

Igbo (ásụ̀sụ̀ Ìgbò) asosan Niger-Kongo tilida so'zlashiladi Nigeriya. 18-25 million orasida Igbo tilida so'zlashuvchilar asosan yashaydi Nigeriyaning janubi-sharqida joylashgan Igboland nomi bilan mashhur bo'lgan hududda. Igbo Nigeriyaning milliy tili bo'lib, u ham tan olingan Ekvatorial Gvineya. Igbo ba'zan boshqa Igbo ma'ruzachilari uchun o'zaro tushunarli bo'lmagan turli xil dialektlardan tashkil topgan. Igbo uchun 'Igbo izugbe' deb nomlangan standart ishlab chiqildi. Igbo ingliz mustamlakachilari va missionerlari tomonidan kiritilgan lotin alifbosida yozilgan. Ekpe kabi maxfiy jamiyatlar ta'sir doirasi atrofida Igbo va boshqa tillarni yozish uchun nsibidi ideogrammalaridan foydalanadilar. Nsibidi - 500 yildan ortiq vaqt davomida ishlatilgan ideografik yozuv tizimi.

Igbo tilida so'zlashadigan yirik shaharlarga Onitsha, Enugu, Overri (oh-we-reh), Port Harcourtva Asaba (Igbo tilida, ah-xax-bax).

Orqali transatlantik qul savdosi, Igbo tili ko'plab kreol tillariga ta'sir ko'rsatdi Amerika, ayniqsa, sobiq inglizlarda Karib dengizikabi orollarni o'z ichiga oladi Yamayka, Barbados, Dominikava Trinidad va Tobago. Igamoning Suámo nomi bilan tanilgan variantlarini topish mumkin Kuba. Igbo tilida ko'plab odamlar gapirishadi Bioko Ekvatorial Gvineyadagi orol, ilgari Fernando Po deb nomlangan va mikro-jamoalarda Kamerun va Ekvatorial Gvineya, shuningdek butun dunyo bo'ylab Igbo millatiga ega bo'lgan so'nggi muhojirlar tomonidan gapirishadi.

Talaffuz bo'yicha qo'llanma

Igbo - yuqori, o'rta va past diapazonga ega tonal til, bundan tashqari ko'tarilish va tushish ohanglari mavjud. Urg'u baland va past tovushlarni ko'rsatish uchun ishlatiladi; yuqori ohanglar uchun "ó" kabi keskin urg'u, past ohang uchun "è" kabi og'ir urg'u ishlatiladi. Burun yoki orqa unlilarni ko'rsatadigan boshqa urg'ular mavjud. "Ọ" kabi pastki nuqta urg'usi ("ọ̀") bilan past darajadagi unli tovushni va "ė" kabi yuqori nuqtali aksan yoki o'tkir aksent bilan pastki nuqta aksanini ("ọ́") ifodalash uchun ishlatiladi. ') baland orqa tovush uchun ishlatiladi. O'ra yoki ostidagi oddiy nuqta kabi trema (¨) o'rta orqa unli uchun ishlatiladi. Boshqa diakritiklar qatoriga karon (ˇ) ko'tarilgan ohanglar uchun, sirkumfleks (ˆ) tushayotgan ohanglar uchun, past pog'onali yoki uzun unlilar uchun makron (¯) kiradi.

Unlilar

Igbo tilidagi unlilar ingliz tilidagi tovushlarga juda o'xshaydi, agar ularda ohang stressi kam bo'lsa. Igbo tilidagi unli tovushlarning aksariyati shu ohangni ko'rsatadigan urg'u bilan yozilgan.

Undoshlar

Undoshlar bilan yozish mumkin bo'lgan yagona harflar bo'lgan "n" va "m" dan tashqari, undoshlar Igbo tilida ohangga ega emaslar.

Umumiy diftonglar

Grammatika

Igbo an hisoblanadi aglutinativ til. Bir qator qo'shilgan fonemalar fe'lning boshqa modifikatsiyalari bilan bir qatorda fe'lning zamonini bildiradi; yordamida misol jéḿbà, "sayohatchi", morfemalarga bo'linishi mumkin: ò, jonli va jonsiz narsalar uchun olmosh yoki "u, u", jé "sayohat, yurish, minish" ma'nosidagi fe'l, bb "shahar, shahar, mamlakat, xorijiy mamlakatlar, chet elda" natijada "u / u-it-go [es] - chet elda".

Igbo tilidagi ismlar grammatik raqamga ega emas va jinsi olmoshlari yoki predmetlari yo'q. Igbo grammatikasi odatda sub'ekt-fe'l-predmetning gap tartibini saqlaydi; mádụ̀ àbụ́ghị̀ chúkwú, "inson [lar] - [u] emas - Xudo", "inson Xudo emas". Igbo tarkibidagi sifatlar post-modifikator hisoblanadi, garchi yopiq sinf; Igbo tilida "sifatlar" deb ataladigan ko'pchilik ismlar deb qaraladi, ayniqsa, bu so'z im kabi o'zgaruvchan bo'lsa ágádí nwóké "keksa odam" deb tarjima qilingan. Igbo ikki unli o'rtasida unli uyg'unlikni aks ettiradi va odatda unli assimilyatsiya xususiyatiga ega, bu erda oldingi unli keyingi qo'shimchani (yoki / a / bilan elisiyani) ta'sir qiladi, masalan. 'k'â, "bu", sifatida tahlil qilingan èkè "of" va â "bu". Igbo bo'g'inining shakllari CV (undosh, unli) bo'lib, u eng keng tarqalgan, V va N bo'g'inli nasals, shuningdek so'zda / CjV / kabi yarim unlilar mavjud. bya (/ bjá /) "keling" va / CwV / in gwú / ɡʷú / "suzish".

Igbo lahjalari taxminan Shimoliy Igboga bo'linadi (NI) va Janubiy Igbo (SI) Nigeriyaning janubi-sharqidagi Igbo tilida so'zlashadigan hudud bilan belgilanadigan sinf. Keyingi tasnif Shimoliy Igbo lahjasini ichki G'arbiy Igbo lahjasiga (atrofdagi hududlarga) ajratishi mumkin Onitsha va Aka), shimoli-sharqiy Igbo shevasi (atrofida Abakaliki) va G'arbiy Igbo yoki Niger Igbo shevasi (Asaba ga Agbor); Janubiy Igbo lahjasi Janubiy Markaziy yoki Ichki Sharqiy Igbo lahjasi (atrofida) ga bo'linishi mumkin Overri va Aba), sharqiy yoki xoch daryosi Igbo shevasi (atrofida Arochukvu va Afikpo) va Riverine yoki Niger Delta Igbo shevasi (atrofida) Bonni oroli va Port Harcourt). Haqiqatda o'nlab Igbo lahjalari bor, ularning barchasi o'ziga xos nozik xususiyatlarga ega va bir lahja guruhi ikkinchisidan qanchalik uzoq bo'lsa, ular shunchaki bir-birlarini tushunishga qodir emaslar. Igbo ma'ruzachilarining shevalarning qarama-qarshi chekkalarini tushunishlari mumkin bo'lgan qiyinchiliklarga javoban, standart Igbo shevasi (Ògbò ìzùgbé) 20-asrning boshlaridan beri rivojlanib kelmoqda va rasmiy foydalanish va ta'lim uchun ishlatiladigan standartdir. Amalda, standart Igbo Igbo tilida so'zlashadigan dunyoda aholi bazasiga ega emas va rasmiy ta'limdan tashqari, umuman e'tiborga olinmaydi. Shuningdek, dialektni shakllantirishda tanlangan shevalarga nisbatan noaniqlik, qiyinlik va tarafkashlik ayblovlari bilan qurilgan tilni tanqid qilish va rad etish ko'p bo'lgan.

Odamlarga murojaat qilish

Igbo jamiyatida jamiyatdagi mavqeiga qarab odamlarga murojaat qilishning turli usullari mavjud. Yaxshi odob va xushmuomalalikni ko'rsatish uchun Igbo ma'ruzachilari o'zlaridan ancha kattaroq kishilarga murojaat qilishlari kerak (odatda tog'a yoki bobo yoki bobo yoki buvisi bo'ladigan yoshga kelib, munosib ravishda "amaki" ba'zan faxriy sifatida ishlatiladi) . Igbo jamiyatida ishlatiladigan ba'zi asosiy sharaflar.

mazā- (MAH-ZEE)

Misterga teng keladigan erkaklar uchun eng asosiy sharaf. Mazi Ibekve: Ibekve janoblari

dâ- (DAH)

Ayollar uchun eng asosiy sharaf, Miss, Missga teng, va xonim yoki xonimga o'xshaydi. Da Mgbechi: Mgbechi xonim

dé-dè- (DEH-deh)

Odatda norasmiy sharoitda ishlatiladigan erkaklar uchun yana bir sharaf, "da" ning erkak ekvivalenti sifatida qaralishi mumkin, uning ingliz tilida ekvivalenti yo'q, lekin "katta aka" degan so'zga o'xshaydi. Odatda "de" ga qisqartiriladi.

íchíè- (ee-chee-ye)

so'zma-so'z oqsoqol, erkak oqsoqollarga murojaat qilish uchun ishlatiladi.

èzè- (IN-zay)

Igbolandning shimoliy qismida joylashgan erkaklar uchun olijanob unvon.

lộlọ̀- (LOH-loh)

"dane" yoki "dutchess" deb talqin qilinishi mumkin, unvonli erkakning xotiniga berilgan unvon.

Sizdan yoshroq bo'lganlarni jinsi bilan chaqirish mumkin - 'nwóké', "erkak" degan ma'noni anglatadi; "nwânyị̀", ya'ni "ayol"; yoki "nwá" (WAHN), ya'ni bola. Ushbu manzil shakli homiylik qilishi mumkin.

O'qish va yozish

Igbo tili dastlab Afrikaning Kros daryosi mintaqasida paydo bo'lgan nsibidi deb nomlangan ideograflar bilan yozilgan. Nsibidi ramzlari g'oyalarni va ko'pincha aniq narsalarni ifodalash uchun ishlatilgan. 19-asrning oxiridan 1960-yilgacha bo'lgan ingliz mustamlakachiligi nisbiylikni umumiy foydalanishdan xalos qildi va 19-asr va 20-asr boshlarida Rim orfografiyalarining bir necha marta qayta ko'rib chiqilishidan kelib chiqqan bo'lib, ọ́nwụ́ nomi bilan mashhur bo'lgan rim yozuviga asoslangan orfografiyani joriy etdi. Igbo tilida yozilgan birinchi kitob, XIX asrda kelib chiqqan Egba-Yoruba naslidan bo'lgan Syerra-Leonelik kreol Bishop Ajayi Crowter tomonidan yozilgan Ibo-Isuama asari edi. Tonal tili sifatida lotin yozuvi Igbo tilining turli xil ohanglari va tovushlariga mos ravishda o'zgartirildi.

Igbo tilidagi adabiy asarlar mustamlakachilik alifbosi kiritgandan beri kam edi. Igbo jamiyatiga oid Igbo yozuvchilari tomonidan ingliz tilidagi adabiyotlar xalqaro miqyosda tan olingan. Ushbu kitoblarning eng mashhuri, muallif Chinua Achebe tomonidan yozilgan "Things Fall Apart", 19-asr oxirida mustamlakachilik va Igbo jamiyatining yo'q qilinishi mavzusiga bag'ishlangan.

Igbo tillarining tonalligi ba'zida chalkash bo'lishi mumkin, ammo bu juda muhim: omonimlar ohanglarning ifodalanishi bilan farqlanadi. Diakritiklar (˙) va ostidagi nuqta kabi boshqa maxsus belgilar bilan birga yozilgan Igbo tovushlarini signalizatsiya qilish uchun ishlatiladi. / akwa / - Igbo tilidagi taniqli omonim, uni turli xil tonlarda talqin qilish mumkin: 'to'shak'), / àkwà / ('ko'prik').

Yozma Igbo

Turli xil klanlar va sobiq davlatlar tomonidan gaplashadigan yuzlab Igbo lahjalari va Igboid tillari mavjud. Ko'plab Igbo lahjalari o'rtasidagi yuqori xilma-xillik va past o'zaro tushunuvchanlik yillar davomida yozma Igbo va Igbo adabiyotlariga to'sqinlik qilmoqda. Bu Igbo ning "standart Igbo" yoki nomi bilan tanilgan standart shaklini rivojlanishiga olib keldi Igbo izugbe. Ushbu standart shakl Igbolandning markaziy qismlari atrofidagi lahjalarga asoslangan edi. Igbo adabiyotini kuchaytirish uchun yaratilgan bo'lsa-da, uni sun'iy deb biladigan va o'z shevalarida gapirishni afzal ko'rgan muallif Chinua Achebe kabi Igbo ma'ruzachilaridan ozgina qarshilik va qarshiliklarga duch keldi. Igbo izubge - bu Igbo tilini o'rganish dasturida ishlatiladigan standart va Igbo lingua franca.

Expressions and particles

In a video shop in Onitsha

Like many African languages Igbo is a very expressive language that makes use of a lot of exclamations in its daily use. Some of these are included:

-kwánụ́ (KWA-NOO)

'though'
This is usually added to the end of a question to make something inclusive.
