  • gift

    verb noun

    yóbbal bi. Gifts are an important part of hospitality, so the guest or anyone from a trip may bring gifts to present on arrival; that particular gift fro a trip is called serice. The host may offer the departing visitors a gift to take home with them and that one is called yóbbal. If you are going from town to village, bring them things that are not readily available there: tea, sugar, kola nuts, candy for kids etc. When you come from a trip, expect from people to ask you: “ana sama serice?” (Where is my travel gift?) and the response may be: “dina ñëw” (it will come) or “Danga yéexa ñëw” (you came late). When you are going to travel, some people may ask you to bring them a gift even if they don’t mean it seriously: “indil ma serice”. Just respond: “Bu soobee Yalla”, “In challah” (they both mean, if God wills)
