Learn Igbo: Asking Prices at the Market — "How Much Is It?" | Igbo Daily Drops (S1 E17)

A market woman waits. She has two prices: the one she says first, and the one she will accept. She knows which moment belongs to her — and so will you.In this episode of Igbo Daily Drops, you'll learn 3 essential market phrases — the question that opens any negotiation, the pushback that signals you know the game, and the final word that changes the price.Igbo market economics is one of the most sophisticated commercial traditions in West Africa — centuries old, women-led, and built on principles that the modern world is only beginning to name. Each episode documents this living heritage in full, contributing to a global understanding of African knowledge systems and their place in building bridges between generations, communities, and continents through the living intelligence of one of Africa's great civilisations.Research in this episode draws on Toyin Falola and Matthew M. Heaton, University of Texas at Austin — their landmark study of pre-colonial Igbo commercial networks as among the most sophisticated in West Africa.📥 Free Speaking Workbook: www.learnigbonow.comIgbo is classified as definitely endangered due to declining child fluency and English code-mixing, despite 20M+ speakers—join us to reverse the shift!Every episode is part of the Igbo Daily Drops Living Archive: an ongoing documentation of Igbo language and culture for learners, institutions, and future generations.Hosted by Yvonne Chioma Mbanefo — Heritage Futurist and Digital Humanities Architect.WHERE TO LISTEN🎧 Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/iddspot🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/iddapple▶️ YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/dropsyt🌐 learnigbonow.comEvery sentence you learn is a drop.
