kwesịrị: Should

Level 3

kwesịrị + infinitive: should.

How It Works

Kwesịrị says what is right or expected.

SayMeaning
Anyị kwesịrị ịga.We should go.
Ada kwesịrị ịgụ akwụkwọ.Ada should read.
Obi kwesịrị ịbịa echi.Obi should come tomorrow.

The verb after it is the infinitive. Use it for advice and rules. Ask Gịnị ka m kwesịrị ime? “What should I do?” when you need advice.

Kwesịrị stays the same for every subject, and the infinitive keeps its object after it: Ada kwesịrị ịgụ akwụkwọ.
