ngwa: Okay, Come On
Ngwa at the start: okay, come on.
How It Works
Ngwa keeps a conversation moving.
| Say | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Ngwa, bịa ebe a. | Okay, come here. |
| Ngwa, ka anyị gaa. | Okay, let us go. |
| Ngwa, rie nri. | Come on, eat. |
It is an everyday word, not formal. Do not mix it up with ngwa ngwa “quickly”, a different word. You can say it alone as an answer, or place it before a command or a suggestion.
