Your Krio is pretty impressive. Good job! You sound like a “Fula” (one of the local tribes originally from neighboring Guinea) just like my sons who were also born in the US. They all sound like Fulas speaking Krio - too funny. Just want to correct some of the things you said though. First, we don’t usually say “fine” when people ask “Aw de body?” (meaning: How are you doing?) The common response is “Ar well” (meaning: I’m well or I’m fine). Also, it’s not true that people don’t see white people in Sierra Leone. I know that’s true only in some very remote areas in the provinces. Of course in the main towns in the provinces and most definitely all over Freetown, there are lots of white people, even in the villages in the outskirts of Freetown, especially in the seaside villages, where they can be seen enjoying the most beautiful beaches in the world. Lunta! Now, do you know what “lunta” means? Who will be the first person to guess this one?
Here's a young white brotha I can consider as family........his excitement in explaining a natural love for a culture of un white origin that expresses it's genuine value.
you should go to suriname. we also speak krio there but we call it creool (sranagtongo). for example i would say: how are you >>>1 fai yu de or 2 fa ai go or 3 fawaka or 4 fa de doe. i don't know how to write it but i write it down like i would pronounce it.
