| There are many expressions when translated from one language to another lose their entire meaning. I understand Japanese, a word together in a phrase can have three or four levels of meaning which are way beyond the original word. I don't know if whats been said can be easily translatable without growing up in their area. It would be necessary to understand history, familial relationships, metaphors, nuances geographical area and probably more things I can't think about and at best, next life, if there is reincarnation, try to come back as a Wolof speaking person..LOL |

| YOU ARE RIGHT. TRANSLATAION ALWAYS CANNOT BE EXACT AND SOME TIME THE CONTEXT IS NOT AVAILABLE IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE |

Do you remember the dried mollusk they used to put in ceeb-u-jen, whats that called in Wolof... I no longer remember but tasted like bacon, no lie.
Thiakry - that lait caille stuff with rose water and coucous millet, ice cold on a hot day in Kaolack Ndorong ... good stuff :) |
