Which one is it?


 
Here is some funny “dialogue” that we hear a lot here. When you see “^” that means I am talking, when you see “<” it means the other (Ghanaian) person is talking.

^ “What’s your favorite color?”

< They nod their head.

^ “Do you have a favorite color?”

< They nod their head again.

^ “So…What is your favorite color?”

< They nod their head once more.

^ “Do you like red, or blue, or pink, or green?”

< They nod their head. 

^ “So…Is it blue?”

< They nod their head……then they shake their head (no) and say “(e.j.) pink

^ “Is it blue or pink?”

< They nod their head.

^ “It’s pink?

< “Yes.”

^ “Oh. OK. Mine is light blue.

< They nod their head.
