UNIT 10 ISI NKE IRI Mpakala Ahụ na ikwu maka ahụ mgbu (Body parts and expressing body hurt.)
Just as memorizing the igbo alphabets are crucial for the beginner, so is memorizing the igbo names for the human body parts. Down the road in this class, we will be talking about visiting the hospital so it is vital to talk about the body parts so that we can be able to tell the doctor about our pains. There are certain parts of the body which are not openly talked about or their names mentioned in public so as not to be branded as profane.. Idiomatic expressions are used for these parts.
