Our Vocabulary: The Homework Wrap-up

Mekyia mo oo!

On Tuesday, we shared our important vocabulary words from the homework, and then learned phrases that would help us to use them. These words and phrases are important for most people to know, so this was a really helpful class activity.

Kojo only was able to offer 1 word. This was a relief because we took up a lot of class time going over our words. He's a native speaker, so he doesn't need to know a bunch of new phrases! Hi word was "tete" [tété] which means "ancient times" or "ancestors," depending on the context. He offered us a little proverb using this word: "Tete w⊃ bĩ kyerε." = The ancestors have a great amount of knowledge to teach us.
