Twi Vocabulary for Family Members

Here are the common Twi words for family members:

Now, let's practice using these words in a conversation:

Asante: Medo wo ase. Wo ho te sɛn? (Thank you. How are you?)

Kwame: Yɛbɛhyia bio. Yɛfrɛ wo papa. Wopɛ sɛ yɛbɛ frɛ wo maame? (We are doing well. We greet your father. Would you like us to greet your mother?)

Asante: Yoo, frɛ maame no. (Yes, greet my mother.)

Kwame: Ayekoo. Wo maame frɛm so se )baa noɔ na mi da ne ho adwuma. (Thank you. Your mother says the daughter is at work.)

Asante: Wofa saa? (And how about my sister?)

Kwame: Afei yɛfrɛ ɔbarima no.) (Now, we are greeting your brother.)

In the given conversation, we used the Twi words for father (papa), mother (maame), and daughter (ɔbaa) to practice using them in a conversation setting.
