What does "Magana Jari Ce" means in english. I know that the TV adaptation of the book translated it as "Wisdom is an asset". I just don't feel it is correct. Am I wrong?

IBB

You are not. I,am not feeling that translation too.

however those speech, talk (magana) are words of wisdom. So probably the traslation is right

IBB,

you see, this is a proverb, even in Hausa.
Therefore, to find a translation that may sound "right"
may be a little difficult.
The closest is "Wisdom is an Asset."

I may be wrong.

Sumba - kiss
Sumbanta - Kissed

French kiss should be; Sumba mai harshe  or Sumbanta da harshe

LOL

Hallucination kuma? Kai mallam ;D Ina jin su turawa basa santi shi yasa bai sa suna da turanci.

IBB

Hallucination is the closest thing to santi in English. As there is no exart word for french kiss in Hausa.
