Learn Igbo Phrases : Week 17 Speaking Practice — 15 Essential Sentences

📥 Free practice speaking workbook for week 17 at www.learnigbonow.com

This is your Week 16 Igbo language practice session from Igbo Daily Drops — 15 sentences learnt over the past week in Igbo daily drops, built for real-life use. Commands, requests, questions, and the kind of warm, human phrases that make the difference between knowing a language and living in it.


Work through each sentence at your own pace. You will hear it once, then again — then it is your turn. The sentences this week move from saying who your family members are, to talking about your kinsmen and kinswomen.

The Igbo sentences we learnt this week are :

Ọ bụ nne m — She is my mother.
Ọ bụ nna m — He is my father.
Anyị bụ ezinulo — We are a family.
Ọ bụ nne m ochie — She is my grandmother
Anyi na-echeta ha — We remember them
Ha bụ ndị nna nna anyị — They are our ancestors
Anyị bụ umunna — We are kinsmen.
Umunna no n'ulo — The kinsmen are at home.
Umunna maara m — The kinsmen know me.
Ha bụ ụmuada — They are umuada, the daughters of the lineage.
Umuada na-abia — The ụmuada are coming.
Anyị na-atụ ụmuada egwu — We respect and fear the umuada group.
Anyị bụ ezinulo [Aha] — We are the [Name] family.
Ndị a bụ Nne na Nna m — These are my mother and father.
Ị nwere otụtụ ụmụnne? — Do you have many siblings?

This is the language your family carried. Now it is yours to carry too.
