Nice song Acholi. keep it up my people.

[leggerish]

Love this song, but i don't understand the words. Can someone tell me what this song is about please? Thank you.

[oigla]

to any Luo from kenya, I can see someone translate 'apwoyo' to mean rabbit, but haven't you guys heard someone say 'apuoyo timni' meaning ' i appreciate your act'?...... sometimes we have to clarify. i am happy that as Luos in kenya we never lost many words despite mingling with other tribes over time. it's time i learnt more luo words from acholi friends. so interesting... ayieng ndong' gi wechegi!

To Emmanok1 am an Acholi from uganda , my question is , do you in E thiopia share or have same semlar cultural dance or songs or anything apart from the language and history that relates us , please post same videos from you, so that we can learn more from our Brothers Ethiopia

Thanks Emmanok1 for letting us know that there are some Luos in Ethiopia. Being an Acholi, we have the same words. We say,

Dako maber = (A good wife),

Woda, = (My son)

Nyara = (My daughter)

Meer = (Love but its used mostly between lovers like husband and wife etc like enjoying ones presence)

Kerre = Natural gap in the teeth

Wok or wuok = Gap in the teeth due to losing some teeth.

Tic or Tich = Work

Lwiyo = Whistling

The bottom line is we were one before migration took us in different places.

[Emmanok1]

lol, yea, Rabit we call it "Apwoa" but still we say "ina Pwoa or una pwoch" for thank you all!

Una Gwieth, (blessings)

[Emmanok1]

I love this song! Long live JoLuo!

Gwieth modwong mar JoLuo!

Apwoyo

Una Pwoa.

[Emmanok1]

We know that we are Luos, but we have a sub-clan name, We call ourselves the Anyuak which means (Working together, or fight together, or eat together)

I know it is funny that we are everywhere, I was in Kenya like two years ago, and man I was amazed for I would understand everything whenever I go to buy stuff like Rich( fish) at the market I will just use my mother tongue and they would understand. Man I was so Happy to meet my people there, we are only about 200,000 in Ethiopia.

Must be my corrupted Luo ... My parents always complain that we don't speak proper Luo. Its that Kenyan sheng influence that made me think mwanya was a Luo word.

As for Lwiyo and wiyo ... I think it means the same thing to me unless thats wrong on my part again ....
