I am on a mission to not only master the Pulaar language, but to perfect the ridiculous sounds that accompany it. This was inspired the other day over Cosan and Lycherie. I was making fun of my brothers and told the five things that make them Senegalese.
# 1 Saying Yes with a click, a double click.
#2 A High pitch, short "Aie" sound that is in response to something exciting. Example, someone almost scoring a goal.
#3 The dragged out "Yo"when they agree with what you say..
#4 The "NAM" "NAM"...and this continues, when they want you to eat more
#5 The "WHYYYY" usually used when stretching (similar to our mmm moan) and also used when they have a headache.
And there you have it. Top 5 Pulaar sounds by Jenae!
