FyneDymeQueen,
While I usually do not like to answer a question with a question, I think in this case it might be appropriate...
What is the logic behind... ina kwana?
why the "ina Kwana"?....
What is the logic behind... ina gajiya?
why the "ina gajiya"?....
or for that matter,
What is the logic behind... what's up?
why the "what's up"?... and why not "what's down?.... or why not "what's sideways"?...
I think this is just a general logical language construct...
logic behind..... ina ruwan ki? ina ruwan shi? ina ruwa na?
why the "ina ruwa"?....
hmmm....so whut is the logic behind "ina kwana"... where is sleep?
"ina ruwa"...why is the "water" there? there has to be some kind of explanation!!!!!!!!!!!...
Fdq u need a professor of Hausa or someone really gud to answer this question perfectly

Mallam Salis, I juss like di way u come xplain. Well some things in hausa words, juss came up as they were.
Infact, this is juss common sense. Anywayz common sense is not common :-X ;)
Ina ruwan ka/ki?
Possibly a linguistic throwback to the time water was scarce and thus highly prized as a commodity. Thus "Ina Ruwan ka/ki" could mean to infer, "why are you so bothered that you will put such a precious thing like water in it to make it grow?!" In other words, "it is none of your business"! This is a speculatively etymological explanation. However, I have a comparative basis in another culture.....
...compare the Hausa saying Ina Ruwan ka/ki to "I don't give a damn". The word "dam" was Indian in origin and refered to a colonial currency of the smallest denomination. Thus when someone in colonial India said, "I don't give a dam" (later transmutated to damn), it means "This matter is so worthless that I will not spend even a dam on it" -- which later means, "I don't care"; i.e. it is valueless to me, or means nothing to me.
GOD BLESS U!!!! i knew there was some kinda symbolic, mythical, odd explanation to it!!!!!!!
ok.. whut about....."na shiga uku"... "ka shiga uku"... etc etc..... whut does "three" symbolize?
dyme, from frying pan to fire!!!!
i am just guessing,,,,,,,, maybe it means "ur dead" coz the uku is like after u die its like ur only with 1.Allah, 2.urself and 3.ur deeds....
yo, don know.......plshelp us out
salamu alaikum peace
yeah interesting logic behind da "na shiga uku stuff."
MHMMMM.............fishiness no dey end for this forum. I justi dey laugh. well we have to use them words. We grew up and heard ppl say it: What should we do? Say it aswell.
Make I leave wuna....as ebi like say wuna shiga uku for this traslation wey dey make my head spin. Na wuna sabi. Wai tukunna kuna claiming hausawa ne ku. sannan kuna cewa meye kaza kaza...abeg make wuna go grab hausa dictionary. Infact kun sani wai ace muku yan gayu ko? To naki nace :P ;D
sista pls spit out one thing that connects pleading for translation help and gayu?? ?? ?? huh?
plus we don need u to call us yan gayu :P
peace out
na shiga uku.........................i think it is uku bcoz,uku is like the extreem.you cant go on and on.the hausa man stops at uku.he doesnt go further.na shiga uku...................i'm in big trouble.
okay,so its not the perfect explanation,but manage this until u have s'thing better ;D
hahaha.. ok, that was understandable!
and i'm juss wondering... is "shagari" a name.. or does it mean "drink garri"?... if its a name... who knows the meaning? cuz i'm guessing its a hausa name.
Sigh.
SHAGARI is the name of a TOWN in Sakkwato where former Nigerian President Shehu Usman SHAGARI hailed from.
Sigh.
Abdalla
Heyy guyz, u know this na shiga ukku stuff ...I heard its not even good to say it. My mom told mi its like, Daya is when a person is put in his mothers womb, biyu is when a person is born....so the hausa man when he is in some sort of trouble, he compares it with ukku, his grave. So peeps shouldn`t say that...I guess
wow.. ibro.. i like that!!!! its a good explanation!
ok uncle abdallahi.. thanks! so does the town mean "drink garri"? cuz some of these towns have funky meanings.. like "saminaka"...
does Saminaka really mean "get your own"?
dyme....zip it
Ibro2g,,,that makes perfect sense!
kai! hausa man and his peculiar proverbs
i know the're two words for door in hausa....apart from kofa, wats tha other one?? ???
ohh kool! :D.....so u can say "na shiga daya" or "na shiga biyu????"
