HAUSE LANGUAGE PHRASES



The Hausa Language Phrases

Phrase [freiz] sashen magana wadda ba fi'ili cikinta. The Hausa language phrases or the sense of am/is/are/was/were is, regardless of aspect (or 'tense'), expressed by ne if the subject is masculine or ce if it is feminine.

As no gender distinction is made in noun plurals, ne is always used with plural forms. "TO BE" : Ne, Ce and Ke nan.

The Hausa language phrase shi ke nan, literally meaning it is this is common in the Hausa language, and is used to express finality and, often to signal transition to a new topic similar to the notion of that's the end of the matter.

Ne/ce typically occurs at the end of a phrase or clause and its tone is always opposite to the tone of the preceding syllable.
