There are hundred ways of saying « very » or « totally » in Wolof.
Many static verbs have their own intensifiers. We will try to add to static verbs (adjectives) that have their own intensifiers in brackets.
Meanwhile, the words “lool” and “torop” taken from the French adverb “trop” could be used as intensifiers for any adjectives in Wolof. The above words in brackets are meant to that.
Examples[edit | edit source]
- Ci weeru decembre dafay lay lu bari : In December, it’s really foggy and it’s too cold also.
- ci Senegal te dafay sedd guy tamit. Dafay taw lu bari ci nawet leegi. It rains a lot now during rainy season.
