@Ankataa The greetings are very similar in Maninka and Senegambian Mandinka! But now I'm curious... I was taught in Mandinka that the phrase "I too n dii" means "give me your name", from the verb to give (ka dii) but now I wonder if it's just the intrusive 'n' that pops up a lot in Mandinka (like kor tana te sounds like kor tanante) and then the phrase got reinterpreted by Mandinka speakers to be "your name me-give". Mandinka also has the phrase "I too duŋ?". But Mandinka needs the particle "mu... (ti)" fir "is" when saying "my name is ____" - "n too mu ____ (le ti)" . Another difference is the word for "last name" which is "kontoŋ"/"kontoŋo". The word for "greeting" is "kontondiro", from the verb "ka kontoŋ" meaning 'to greet', or literally 'to last name'. I niŋ barra!

@Ankataa Жыл бұрын

I ni ke! Wouldn't the syntax of Mandinka require that "too" be the direct object and have a syntax like this: I too *di* n ma = Your name *give* me to There is a cognate of "kontoŋ" used in Maninka as well: _kɔndɔn_. It can be used as a noun ('last name') or a verb ('to greet')

@@Ankataa I bolota le (you're correct!), so either I understood an explanation incorrectly or it was explained incorrectly haha. So the 'n' is just a euphonic harmony thing, like "tanante", or how the word puppy (wuloo + diŋo) often sounds like "wulondiŋo". Another way to ask would be: "I too mu mune ti?" but that's less common that "I too ndi" or "I too duŋ"

@Ankataa Жыл бұрын

@@tierraeterea I ni ke! I imagine that it was an incorrect "folk etymology/explanation" based off a false assimiliation of the homonyms "di" and "di". As for "I too mu mune ti" -- that's the equative construction, which is equivalent to "I tɔɔ (le) ye mun di?" in Maninka. The main difference is that there is no use of a cognate copula that resembles "mu" in Maninka, but the underlying syntax is the same (using "ye" instead of "mu")
