ya mere: So

Level 2

Reason, ya mere result.

How It Works

Ya mere is the mirror of n'ihi na. It puts the result last.

ExampleMeaning
Ada na-arịa ọrịa, ya mere ọ bịaghị.Ada is ill, so she did not come.
Ọ dị oyi, ya mere anyị nọ n'ụlọ.It is cold, so we are at home.

Keep a comma before it. Each clause has its own subject and verb. Ya means “it” and mere means “did, made”: it literally says “it made”.

  2. Ọ dị oyi, ya mere anyị nọ n'ụlọ.

    It is cold, so we are at home.

    A different reason.

  3. Enweghi m ego, ya mere agaghị m azụta ya.

    I have no money, so I will not buy it.

    Agaghị m for the result.
