Okay I just gotta say this, cause I just remembered. When I was in Naija, one day my Hausa teacher came to class and we were to learn some new vocab, the Hausa words and the meanings were on the board. So when it came to the part where it said "nunu/nono(can't remember), we all started laughing(we were little kids), the man was like "why now, what is so funny", we kept on laughing, then he said "ooohhh, nunu, ah oyan l'on je be", then the whole class just bursted ot laughing, I can't think about it and not laugh, it was that funny, you had to be there to know what I mean. so back to the topic sha, I think "Ina Kwana" means "good morning/how are you" or something, and "Nagode" is "thank you" I think. I can't even remember right now.
