This is your Week 20 Igbo language practice session from Igbo Daily Drops — 15 sentences learnt over the past week in Igbo daily drops,  built for real-life use. Commands, requests, questions, and the kind of warm, human phrases that make the difference between knowing a language and living in it.

Work through each sentence at your own pace. You will hear it once, then again — then it is your turn. The sentences this week move from saying where you are located, who you are , to asking who others are. 


The Igbo sentences we learnt this week are :
Ginị ka i mere unyaahụ? — What did you do yesterday?
A gara m ahịa unyaahụ. — I went to the market yesterday.
Ha zuru ike unyaahụ. — They rested yesterday.
Anyị hụrụ ha n'anyasị / abalị — We saw them in the evening / night
E hiri  m ura n'anyasị — I slept in the evening/ night
Ị hụrụ nne gị n'ụtụtụ? — Did you see your mother in the morning?
Nne nne m kọrọ m ya — My grandmother told me this.
Ọ bụ eziokwu, ọ bụghị akụkọ ifo — It is truth, not a folktale.
Ala na-edebe ihe niile — The earth keeps everything.
Gịnị ka ị mere taa? — What did you do today?
A gara m ọrụ taa. — I went to work today.
A hụrụ m gị taa. — I saw you today.
A gara m ọrụ n'ụtụtụ mana a nọ m ụlọ n'anyasị — I went to work in the morning, but I am home in the evening.
E riri m ji ụnyaahụ mana e riri m osikapa taa — I ate yam yesterday, but I ate rice today.
Ha zụtara uwe izu ụka gara aga — They bought clothes last week.

This is the language your family carried. Now it is yours to carry too.
