Word for the Travel Wise (11/25/06)

Sierra Leone FlagThis weekend is one of the craziest for shopping of the entire year and when you've reached your max or find you went far or over your spending limits it might be time to use this phrase heard in Sierra Leone...

Today's phrase is a Mende phrase used in Sierra Leone:

Ngii loni a hani weka gbi. - I don't want anything else.


Mende is going to be yet another toughie to learn online. For now I suggest going through this Mende Phrasebook published by the Bumumbu Press during colonial times to help Mende speakers learn English. In turn it can help you learn Mende in modern times.

Past Mende words: Nya sinjii ve, wa mu li na, nyaa fisama
