Possessive Pronouns; Past Tense

This week has been a little slower. We have a big quiz tomorrow, so we have spent a lot of class time discussing it and the final week of class. Today, we discussed a few phrases, but mostly worked on our dialogs. I'm not going to put mine on here because it's pretty long and complicated. We're supposed to study it for the quiz tomorrow, but I can't remember all the different terms, so I'll have to simplify it. For today's post, I'm going to just share a few things we were supposed to study in the book over the weekend: possessive pronouns and the past tense.

Possessive Pronouns:
me = my
wo = your
ne = his / her
yεn = our
mo = your
w⊃⊃nom / ⊃⊃mo = their

Prefixes: Pronouns and 2 Tenses

After we finished going through our personal vocabulary, we moved on to some prefixes- pronouns and verb tenses.

There are 7 basic pronouns:
me
wo
⊃no
εno
yεn
mo
w⊃n (also can use w⊃⊃nom or ⊃⊃mo but we weren't told when to use them)

More Classroom Conversation

Yεfrε me Akua [Aquia] Alison!
(My name is or, literally, They call me "Girl born on a Wednesday" Alison)

Today, we learned about a few more ways to greet people, especially ways relevant to the classroom. I also learned my Akan "day" name (Akua or Akua Alison if there is more than 1 Akua present). Most of the day was spent working on classroom and travel phrases. We also reviewed our homework, but didn't finish.

How to greet the teacher:
Student: Abusuapanin maahã. [Abuiswiapaneen, maaha(n)] = Good afternoon, professor.
Teacher: Ya enua / Yenua. [Ya enwia / Yenwia] = You, too.
Student: Na wo hõ te sεn? [Na, wo ho(n) teh sen] = How are you?
Teacher: Onyame adom, meho yε. [Onyami adom, meho(n) ye] = By God's grace, I'm well.

More Greetings and Responses (Very long lesson!)

This might be a little late in the year, but... Mema wo Afenhyia pa. Correct response: Afe nk⊃ mmεto yεn bio. (I wish you a good year... May the year go around and come to us again.)

We started off the class with a review and added a few new phrases:
Adult: Awuraa, maakyē. (Good morning, ma'am.)
Youth: Yaa agya [aja]. (general response)
Adult: Wo hõ te sεn? (How are you?)
Youth: Mepa wo kyεw [mepaakyεw], me hõ yε. (Please, I'm fine.)
(Note: The older person is supposed to ask the younger how he/she is doing. The younger person does not ask this back. My teacher explains that this is because youths are very important and it is in the interest of the adult/elder to take care of the younger people. It is still necessary to be very polite, no matter who you're taking to, so terms of politesse are crucial in every conversation.)

Mepaakyεw, den asεm?
