In this episode we learner a series of phrases in Igbo that utilize words of the body part to convey different meanings. For example "aka nri" translated directly means the hand of food, but it actually means "right" or "right hand." Another example is "iri ju afọ," which directly translated means "eaten till stomach full," but in actuality, it is a phrase that means "are you satisfied." We also learn Igbo verbs in the command or imperative form and practice the verbs and phrases in a game called "Somto si," similar to the game "Simon says."

In this episode we explore,  "Ịnọ" the "to be" verb which means being at a place for both living and non living items. Note there are examples where "ịdị" can also be the "to be" verb used to describe "to be at a place" for inanimate objects, and there are some Igbo school of thoughts that state that "Ino" can only be used to describe the place of being for animate objects while "ịdị," can be used to described the place of being for only inanimate objects.  In this episode however,  we practice using the Ịnọ to be verb along with exploring common vocabulary words for names of places in Igbo.

In English, everything simply just is. The to be verb can be used when stating, I am a girl,  He is 32 years old, or They are at the house. Also notice that in english the "to be" verb also changes or is conjugated based off the pronoun, ie: "is, are, am." 

The way Igbo people conceptualize the "to be" verb is different however. In this episode we explain that the "Ịbụ" "to be" verb in Igbo is used more when expressing a category of an object or its literally "being" while "Ịdị" is more so used to qualify that being or to speak towards an attribute. There is another form of the "to be" verb in the igbo language used to explain "to be at a place," (explored in the next upcoming episode). 

Note luckily in Igbo the "to be" verb remains the same "bụ" or "dị" or " nọ" irregardless of the pronoun uses. Listen to this episode to explore more and also practice with exercises.
