I have managed to find the internet and this makes me feel quite proud of myself. This will be a quick one as I don`t have much time and this french keyboard is really annoying. I just thought that I would share a funny story with all of you.
In Pulaar, the words for "I'm happy to be here" and "peanut butter" are very similar. Tigiriggi means "I'm happy to be here" and tigidiggi means "peanut butter." Now guess which one I've been walking around my house saying for the past week. Yes, that's right, that would be peanut butter. No wonder my entire family has been looking at me as if I am some kind of Pulaar moron. When I finally figured out my error yesterday I burst out into hysterical laughter which quickly turned into hysterical tears. This language thing is super frusterating! Can someone please just develop a pill that I can take before bed one night so that the next morning I could wake up speaking fluent Pulaar?
