This is an SOS Message! I Need Help Please.



I am trying to be a hero today for my 5year old nephew.He has taken to learning Igbo language with a vengeance and I am trying to help him out with his list of words for translation.I did quite well but I am kinda stuck with these three:

1. How do you translate ''I  miss you'' in Igbo?

2. Igbo word for hippopotamus?

3. Igbo word for ''e-mail''?

A beg nyere nu mu aka oo. Dalu nu

    The igbo lang borrowed a loT from english lang. U may not find igbo words for #2 and #3. However, reference in igbo to show that it is known as a specific word by the english language. Eg. Animanu ndi beke n'akpo hippopotamusu. Or ndekorita ndi beke n'akpo e-mailu.
