Thank you for being the only page with some Ebira to learn. Please add more content. I’m trying to learn Ebira but these 17 greetings are all I can find on the web. Maybe some responses to the greetings and other general phrases like self introduction (Hi, my name is…I’m from…I live in…, what’s your name? where are you from? nice to meet you? asking for directions etc)
Please what is the difference between Nyehi and Nyase.
